[NYP] Marco Rubio is pondering his next move after dropping out of the presidential race, and rumors are running wild that he could be heading to the Miami Dolphins.
Sources said Rubio, who won’t run again for his Florida Senate seat, could potentially land an executive role with the team.
But a Dolphins insider insisted, "Nope, nothing to it. He is a huge fan, though." Insiders said Rubio’s considering private-sector jobs, but will be careful about his next step, as he’s planning on another White House run, possibly in 2020.

Rubio should have set his sights on Gov of Florida instead of running for President. Get some seasoning and put some time and distance between him and the Gang of 8.
Not all corrupt blacks are Democrats
For years, President Jacob G. Zuma of South Africa had derided demands that he repay the state for upgrades to his homestead in Nkandla, about 300 miles southeast of Johannesburg.
The president maintained that the home improvements ‐ including a chicken coop, a cattle enclosure, an amphitheater, a swimming pool, a visitor center and a helipad ‐ were necessary to ensure his safety and that the cost should be borne by taxpayers.
"Nkaaaandla!" Mr. Zuma said in Parliament last year, drawing out the a's in Nkandla to mock opposition lawmakers' pronunciation of the town's name.
On Thursday, South Africa's highest court ruled that Mr. Zuma had violated the Constitution by refusing to pay back some of the millions of dollars in public funds spent on the improvements, saying he flouted laws meant to safeguard the country's young democracy.
Dealing a humiliating rebuke to Mr. Zuma, the Constitutional Court's 11 justices ruled unanimously that the president had "failed to uphold, defend and respect the Constitution as the supreme law of the land."
The court ordered Mr. Zuma to reimburse the state for some of the upgrades once the national treasury determined the appropriate amounts. The improvements cost 246 million rand, or about $16.7 million at current exchange rates.
The ruling is significant, experts said, because it checks the conduct of an executive who has been accused of disregarding the nation's democratic institutions. It also affirmed the constitutional authority of the Office of the Public Protector, which has faced unrelenting attacks from Mr. Zuma's party, the African National Congress, since ordering Mr. Zuma to reimburse the state in 2014.

The Olympics should be a clusterf*ck
The decision was taken following on PMDB's withdrawal from the federal government's coalition, as the political crisis faced by Rousseff intensified with the possibility that other allied parties will also leave the government coalition.
The cancellation of the trip also prevents Vice President Michel Temer, national president of the PMDB and the main articulator of the party's withdrawal from the government's coalition, from becoming acting president of Brazil for two days.
According to the Brazilian Constitution, the Vice President takes the President's position when the holder leaves the national territory. Nobody left in the Leftist ruling party that's not tainted

The Olympics will be a great success. Everyone will say so!!! The water for the rowing and boating events will be crystal clear and pure.
[Weekly Standard] "I am so sick, I am so sick," Clinton says, shouting and wagging her finger at the activist, "of the Sanders campaign lying about me. I'm sick of it."
Greenpeace explained the exchange, "At a Hillary Clinton rally at SUNY Purchase campus today, the presidential candidate lost her patience with a Greenpeace activist who thanked her for her commitment to climate change then asked her whether she'll reject fossil fuel money moving forward. Pointing her finger at activist Eva Resnick-Day, Clinton claimed she only takes money from people who work for fossil fuel companies and called the accusations lies."

Now that is irony right there. Comedy just keeps on writing itself.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
