On December 11, John Anthony Castro, the Republican presidential candidate who has filed many lawsuits to keep former President Donald Trump off various ballots, dismissed his California case. Castro v Weber, e.d., 2:23cv-2172. It had been assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Dale Drozd, an Obama appointee.
I’m not sure it was all That voluntary. I’ve recently read he’s being sued by credit issuer(s)for a large amount of outstanding debt, which corresponded with when he started withdraw cases.
I think originally he planned to file in lots of states, and then see which kind of judge was assigned to the case, and then he planned to withdraw his cases with a judge appointed by a Democrat, but to keep his cases going if he had a Republican appointee. I am not saying that is a sensible plan. It is wrong to think any federal judge rules lock-step on partisanship.
Hey lays out his bizarre plan in a podcast interview (linked below) that seems to be based on a fever dream.
The best part in this podcast is where he announces that he will get 5-7% of the GOP primary vote in every state and then, excitedly, exclaims “I’M GOING TO CONTROL WHO BECOMES THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!” [Queued to time code here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaPmoUjiXMY&t=3421s%5D
This is Augustus Sol Invictus-level delusion. (Actually, it might be a level above that, since the Glimmering Sun God actually had a license to practice law, unlike Mr. Castro.)
Richard Winger, please see comment by Mark Fantek on your Dec 14 article about him dropping two other such lawsuits in two states which both start with the letter M.
Karen S., I thought the correct translation of Augustus Sol Invictus was unconquerable (or indomitable) Sun God. The last word of the Latin phrase/name is the first word of the English phrase). Or just see invictus translation by itself. What if anything to I have wrong there? I also wondering whether he has changed his name again, as the latest update I heard had him abandoning paganism in favor of traditional Catholicism. Calling himself a God would be rather blasphemous if that is indeed his newfound faith.
Oops, the timecode didn’t parse properly, here it is:

The confidence when he yells out “I’m gonna control who becomes the next President!” is absolutely worth a watch!
@Birds — you might be right, I couldn’t remember what the correct translation of the Sun God’s name was. According to the Virginia case information system, it appears his name still is Augustus Sol Invictus:
https://eapps.courts.state.va.us/ocis
(search case CR23000149-00 … it lists a trial date in March of ’24 under the Invictus name)
I’m not sure my curiosity about Fruit Loop Invictus extends to doing unpaid research about his further legal or illegal adventures. If someone else wants to summarize whatever the search results about why he’s going to be in court in Virginia in March, I’m mildly curious about it, but not very.
In terms of translation, Sol is definitely sun, and invictus is pretty clearly unconquered / unconquerable or things along those lines. Whether the name is inherently blasphemous under his new religion (if it has not changed again) would then hinge on whether “Augustus” is always inherently a claim of divinity. That claim was baked into the Roman imperial use of the name / term, but I don’t know off hand whether it’s possible to use that Latin name/word without implying such a claim. It’s not the literal Latin word for God, which is Deus. It may or may not be a synonym.
Crazy people make all sorts of crazy claims all the time – they’ll control the weather, or who becomes President, or they are the President, or Emperor, or God, maybe all of the above. There are even still lots of crazy people who think birds are real, even though that obviously hasn’t been true in decades.

APPEAL TO MICH SCT – 14-3 CASE
I’m glad someone here is finally showing the courage to point out the obvious: birds are not real. They have been replaced by drones. Just like Americans, Europeans, and all White countries are being replaced by imported turd world mud.
