Portland mayor @tedwheeler said city council would vote on an emergency resolution to ban the city from trading with Texas & to ban city employees from going there for business travel. This is in response to the Texas Hearbeat Act. https://t.co/qPBjlIkY8u

Ask I commented a few days ago.
Doing so would be a violation of 18 U.S. Code § 1951 - Interference with commerce by threats or violence.
Whoever in any way or degree obstructs, delays, or affects commerce or the movement of any article or commodity in commerce, by robbery or extortion or attempts or conspires so to do, or commits or threatens physical violence to any person or property in furtherance of a plan or purpose to do anything in violation of this section shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

I cancelled my PayPal account the day their CEO made his snarling announcement that his company wouldn't do business with states that had "Ladies room is for ladies" laws. There's really nothing coming out of Portland I need. Oregon? Pretty much likewise. I loved the value proposition of Duluth Trading clothes, but Minnesota is not on my approved trading list any more. And, no, I don't buy or wear Levis.

#2 Leaving aside that whole Commerce Clause thingy and 50 other issues, I wonder whether this is consistent with whatever version of the public bid law applies to Portland. The resolution basically says that even if a Texas company puts in a bid for twice the quality at half the price, we'll reject that bid because Texas is ideologically impure. It's not a big jump from that to a resolution saying that we'll reject any bid from a company not owned by the mayor's brother.

But if the Chinese do it at twice the cost and half the quality, they'll buy cause Portland has no problem with other commies running forced labor camps and the extermination of a ethnic group.

One thing that always struck me about commentary from CNN and MSNBC talking heads - the near complete lack of professionalism. This is high-school name calling, nothing more.
#2
I think the commentators at CNN (They don't employ any Journalists or Reporters) haven't matured past high school. That is evident from their actions and 'reporting' since '16. Heck since 2008.

i recently watched about 10 minutes of a broadcast from fox. apparently a good bit of their time nowadays is spent attacking CNN and vice versa. it really is sad to watch. like two cliques of mean girls obsessed with one another.

Both parties squandered "all three branches" majorities in their times. Pretty much like the person who rubs the lamp and uses their three wishes to have their first pet back, a pony and be liked in school.

OK with CNN grinding the Axe so its clear Uncle Joe has limited time in office. For the MSM who is up next ?
MS-NBC Rachel M. or whom?
But what will the cover be?
A C-19 infection with a investigation blaming Trump?
Or a Heart Attack and can't run again?
Or some other deep State planned and handled process of removal.
Either way
Are we looking at HEADLINES of "Coming soon to the Oval Office President K. Harris." The 1st Female and the 2nd or 3rd (if you count Lincoln) 1/2 white and 1/2 something else President.

It remains hilarious that Bath House Barry got a Nobel prize but Billy Jeff Clitbreath and ALgore did not, and Kamel-la is a heartbeat away from the prexidency but the closest Madame Swillary got was an Edith Wilson / Eleanor Roosevelt walk off part.

CNN panel blasts Biden admin's inability to communicate clearly honestly on COVID: 'People feel jerked around'
FIFY.
If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything. - Mark Twain
Does he really think Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia will sign on to that?
[msn] The Biden administration this week signaled that it is eyeing a United Nations small arms treaty that critics claim will lead to an international gun registration plan — including for individual American gun owners.
Two years after former President Donald Trump withdrew from it, a top arms diplomat at the State Department told the global body that the current administration is swinging behind the Arms Trade Treaty.
"I have come from Washington, D.C., this week to take the floor on the agenda item Treaty Universalization to underscore the continuing commitment of the United States to responsible international trade in conventional arms," William Malzahn said at the 7th Conference of States Parties to the Arms Trade Treaty.
"The United States has long supported strong and effective national controls on the international transfer of conventional arms, and the Arms Trade Treaty is an important tool [for] promoting those controls internationally," he said according to a transcript provided to Secrets by the lobbying arm of the National Rifle Association.
The NRA has warned that, among many moves, the treaty will require all arms that Americans buy from overseas makers to be tracked. To do that, a global gun registry would be created and maintained for 10 years. Every owner will be listed on that registry.
"This is the first step towards creating a global firearms registry," said the Second Amendment advocacy group.
"President Biden wants to give foreign bureaucrats control over the rights of law-abiding Americans, and the NRA will fight it every step of the way," it added today in a Twitter thread.
In his statement, Malzahn said that the administration is reviewing and working to strengthen the "Conventional Arms Transfer Policy" that guides the transfer policy of firearms. "You just can't leave em behind for a terrorist state to...oh, wait. Nevermind"
This is the first step towards creating a global firearms registry.
"The new CAT Policy will better frame the intent and priorities of the Biden/Harris administration and formalize the approach of the administration as adopted on arms transfer decisions that have been in effect since President Biden entered the White House in January," he said, according to the transcript.
"The revised CAT Policy should be finalized shortly and released as a public document. When it is, the United States will then use that policy framework to review specific arms transfer issues, including determining the proper relationship of the United States to the Arms Trade Treaty," he added.

Seems most of the "treaties" we enter into nowadays require no action on the senate's part.

If Trump "withdrew" from the treaty, it seems likely that Biden could simply reinstate it. In that case, no senate approval necessary. Seems to imply it was already passed at some point.
#6
This never passed the Senate, Obama signed it, trump unsigned it but it never got passed in the Senate, so any attempt to enforce it should be considered illegal. And I'm pretty sure you can't sign and ratify treaties that would negate the Bill of Rights. Constitutionally anyway. Not that I trust the Supreme Court these days to do the right thing.

So it will end up like the pot legalization. Pot got legalized, regulated, and the best pot is on the black market. Guns will go down that road as well. It wont stop us. And they can enforce a law that wont get past the 2nd amendment.

Good I feel better about shooting UN gun confiscators than US LEOs.
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.
