Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in finding that Congress had the power to exclude Puerto Rico from access to the same benefits as other Americans It overturns a lower court's decision that the difference was unconstitutional

My wife a PR indian from the Junta (sp) mountain area. Her comment was... Why not just turn PR loose and let it be its own nation? It would save US taxpayers and butt load of money each year.

"Imperialist"! Wow--haven't heard that particular epithet since aboaut 1969. Are we resurrecting it again since all the other insults have lost their meaning from overrepetition?

I used to think that Sotomayor was a just a believer in a "Living Constitution". Now, I think she's a believer in a "Hypothetical Future Constitution".

This was a different Unwise Latina
Wait! Are you suggesting that all Unwise Latinas look alike?
Personally, I consider them all interchangeable, differing only in their degree of uselessness.
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Special counsel John Durham issued trial subpoenas for members of Crooked Hillary Clinton ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do... ’s 2016 campaign and the Democratic National Committee as he pushed his theory of a "joint venture" in the case against Democratic cybersecurity lawyer Michael Sussmann, who represented the Clinton campaign, and Rodney Joffe.
Clinton’s campaign, the DNC (If you're white you ain't right!) ...Democrat National Committee, where all those off-the-wall talking points we hear as news stories originate... , the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, and the Perkins Coie law firm are fighting Durham’s efforts to compel the submission of withheld documents, arguing their claims of attorney-client privilege should keep the records concealed. However, women are made to be loved, not understood... Durham is continuing his legal pressure as he insists those groups played a coordinated role in pushing false Trump-Russia collusion claims.
Fusion "was not primarily providing or supporting expertise relating to legal advice; instead, it appears that the investigative firm’s primary, if not sole, function was to generate opposition research materials that the firm then shared widely," Durham said this month.
"Meeting to agree on the express goal of a joint venture is precisely what happened here, on more than one occasion," the special counsel said early Saturday morning.

Visitor logs from the Obama administration revealed that Joe Biden had met with his son Hunter's top business partner in 2010
Eric Schwerin, former president of Hunter's now-dissolved firm Rosemont Seneca, made 19 trips to the White House from 2009 to 2015
Nine trips included meetings with Biden, his staff and the staff of Jill Biden
Republicans blasted the meetings as yet another example of Hunter using his father to secure business deals and called on investigations into the Bidens
It comes as Hunter faces federal prosecution for alleged tax fraud, money laundering and illegal foreign lobbying
[PJMEDIA] These are rough times for the Democrats. Everywhere they look, November’s midterm elections are like a freight train rushing down a mountain with no brakes, hurtling toward them as they struggle helplessly while tied to the tracks.
They have been losing Latino voters since Trump was president. Now the youth vote — a usually reliable demographic for the Dems — has decidedly soured on the septuagenarian disaster that’s occupying the Oval Office.
It’s plain for all to see that Biden’s puppet masters and the Democrats in Congress don’t have any ideas that will cause a major course correction before the midterms. That can only mean one thing: the shadowy shenanigans that Democrats are known for will probably be worse than ever this year.
If they can get away with it, that is.
The fact that the Wuhan Chinese Bat Flu pandemic showed up during a presidential election year made 2020 a truly magical time for the soulless cretins who are in charge of the political apparatus in the Democratic Party. Sure, they may have pretended to care about people getting sick and dying, but behind those masks, they were snickering with delight at the opportunity the panic provided them.
Prior to the pandemic, Democrats had to concoct elaborate justifications for their election "modifications," like lying and insisting that it’s nigh on impossible for minorities to get a legal ID in 21st-century America.
Along came COVID and suddenly they could shift election laws on the fly and, laughably, do it all in the name of public health. We saw it all: universal vote-by-mail, extended early voting periods, last-minute voter registration — the full Democrat hit list for killing election integrity.
They can pretend all they want that the 2020 election was error-free, but that’s a narrative that’s been cut out of whole cloth.
Myriad "irregularities" have been — and are still being — discovered. There is no way to have more vote-by-mail and less fraud.
The embarrassing meltdown we’ve seen from the leftists over mask mandates going away is rooted in two things and — surprise! — neither of them has the slightest thing to do with public health.
The first, which Paula wrote about on Wednesday, is about the Democrats’ unholy lust for federal control over the lives of United States citizens:

The problem has never been solved, only discussed.
New book by New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns, This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future, claims that Jill Biden was opposed to selecting Kamala Harris as running mate
Harris lashed out at Joe Biden in primary debate over his opposition to busing
Biden was under fire at the time for praising the 'civility' of segregationists
The dispute was one of the biggest fireworks displays in Democratic primary
But Biden moved past the row to select Harris as his running mate
Biden reportedly also had concerns about Harris' romance with her mentor

Bussing probably contributed to Detroit's collapse as much as stupid politicans. Note well the upper and middle class Black flight seeking better education for their children.

Goes way back to the 1950's and 1960's with the creation of "consolidated" school districts. Blue Bird bus company and large bureaucratic school administrations did well. Everyone else, not so much.
Just my penny farthings worth.
"Government is not the solution. Government is the problem."
[THEHILL] If you don’t believe the Republicans can blow their chances of winning majorities in the House and Senate midterms this year, then you have not paid attention to the past five years of U.S. politics.
At least three factors could reverse the predicted fortune for the GOP. The first would be voter apathy by traditional Republicans, conservatives and people of faith. The second would be — drum roll, please — potential fallout from anything Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... says, does or hints. And the third would be a full-court press by Democrats, aided by some in the mainstream media, to come across as suddenly moderate while metaphorically throwing Joe The Big Guy Biden

A fourth factor - do the Republicans want to win? Or would they rather sit back and collect benefits while saying 'not our fault...'
[BREITBART] Representative Adam Schiff ...Showboating U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff has served in Congress since 2001. He currently serves as the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In a manner reminiscent of Joe McCarthy, on March 22, 2017, in a interview with Chuck Todd on MSNBC Schiff claimed there was “more than circumstantial evidence now” that Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia." Todd followed up by asking if he had seen direct evidence of collusion and Schiff responded that there was "evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation"... (D-CA) said Friday on MSNBC’s "The ReidOut" that the audio New York Times
... which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... news hounds Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin released of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy ...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's... (R-CA) telling Rep. Liz Cheney ...Faux Republican hereditary congresswoman-for-life from Wyoming. She has been described as Republican royalty. A staunch Never Trumper, Liz supported the second impeachment of Donald Trump for his role in the 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol. Publicans dumped her from her leadership position in May 2021. Refusing to admit that she had trashed her own career, Cheney has said that she intends to be the leader... in a fight to help to restore our party and that she may be interested in a future presidential run.... (R-WY) that he would recommend to then-President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... he should resign revealed Cheney to be "a person of great courage and conviction."
Schiff said, "What is staggering about this, Joy, is Kevin McCarthy talks to Republican colleagues after the attack on the Capitol. He acknowledges the president bears responsibility. He talked to the president. The president admitted bearing some responsibility for the attack. He talked about calling on the president to resign, and then when he’s asked about this, he lies."
He added, "Liz Cheney is not the kind of person who leaks tapes and denies it. That is just not who she is. One thing this chapter of our history has revealed, and it’s something the historian Robert Carroll said, power doesn’t corrupt as much as it reveals. It doesn’t reveal us for our best but says who we are. Well, power revealed Liz Cheney to be a person of great courage and conviction. It revealed Kevin McCarthy to be utterly craven, and in fact, so many of the other members of his team, like Elise Stefanik — who, when Liz Cheney said I’m not telling a big lie that eats at the heart of our democracy, Elise Stefanik put up her hand and said I’ll tell the lie if I can have her job. I think those attacks suggesting Liz Cheney was the source of this for an effort to tear her down when Kevin McCarthy is being torn down by his own falsehoods."

We need a realignment. Globalist like Cheney and McCarthy can admit it and either join the Democrats or form the Globalist Party. Leave the Republican Party to patriotic Americans.
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.
