If I could afford to buy anything at all, an ambassadorship would not make the list.

Multi-million dollar charity run by a nephew from side action influence, access to privileged information concerning various investments, top notch security, and pampering?

Long done by both sides; remember Shirley Temple during Reagan?
What it does illustrate is shocking number of really wealthy people there are that don't need to do anything useful for years at a time. And they can be useless from anywhere on the globe.

[IsraelTimes] Jessica Watkins is third member of antigovernment group to be sentenced this week over riot after Trump’s defeat in election two years ago
An Army veteran who stormed the US Capitol in a military-style formation with fellow members of the Oath Keepers was sentenced Friday to more than eight years in prison, a day after the far-right hard boy group’s founder received an 18-year prison term in the January 6, 2021 attack.
Jessica Watkins, of Woodstock, Ohio, was acquitted of the seditious conspiracy charge that Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was found guilty of in November, but jurors convicted her of obstruction and conspiracy to impede Congress’ certification of President Joe Biden

[NYPOST] House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said Tuesday he will move to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress after he again refused to share an informant file that allegedly implicates President Biden in a $5 million bribery scheme.
Comer (R-Ky.) set a final compliance deadline of Tuesday, which the FBI made clear it would not meet.
"Today, the FBI informed the Committee that it will not provide the unclassified documents subpoenaed by the Committee," Comer said. "The FBI’s decision to stiff-arm Congress and hide this information from the American people is obstructionist and unacceptable.
"While I have a call scheduled with FBI Director Wray tomorrow to discuss his response further, the Committee has been clear in its intent to protect Congressional oversight authorities and will now be taking steps to hold the FBI Director in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a lawful subpoena," Comer added.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy ...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's... (R-Calif.) promised Tuesday morning that he will lead Republicans in voting to hold Wray in contempt if he refuses to provide the informant file, which McCarthy said could be redacted to protect highly sensitive informant information.

It appears that Deep State finds Congress and the Constitution in contempt. The fix is in. You think they'd be doing this if they knew they may lose power in 2024.

How is the effort going by Rep MTG to file the articles of impeachment against Wray? When can we expect the House to take this up and have a vote and then send it over to the Senate for trial? Although, this will likely go no where, there is some value to this impeachment. It would expose the widespread corruption in the Administrative State and the weaponizing of government against its people.

Wray has now said he will "allow" some members of Congress to view the document. Not enough. , as a U.S. citizen have a vested interest in seeing what is in it. It seems to me the FBI is stalling until the statute of limitations runs out.

/\ Cynicism or realism?
I'm going with realism brought on by decades of failed expectations.
[NYPOST] Former President Donald Trump ...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election... pledged Tuesday to enact an executive order ending birthright citizenship guarantees for children of illegal aliens if he regains the White House in 2024, despite past constitutional objections and failures to follow through on the move.
Trump, 76, said the agenda for his second nonconsecutive term would end both birthright citizenship and so-called "birth tourism" in the US on his first day in office — a proposal he also floated before and during his first term in the Oval Office.
"My policy will choke off a major incentive for continued illegal immigration, deter more migrants colonists from coming, and encourage many of the aliens Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. S You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier... has unlawfully let into our country to go back to their home countries," Trump said in an Agenda 47 announcement video, calling the policy a "willful misinterpretation of the law by the open borders advocates."

14th Amendment -
Section 1
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
That is going to require 2/3 of the House and Senate and 3/4 of the States to change. I doubt that SCOTUS would buy the argument that illegals that ignored their appearance date declared by their actions that they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

I am sure the initiative polled well. It won’t work, but it polled well.

There's an easy fix for this given how abortion-happy liberals are: Any non-citizen trying to enter the US gets a free abortion. If they don't want one, they can give birth somewhere else.

IIRC, the Germans can kick out a Turk even if born and raised there.
Even if they’ve become German citizens? Very few resident Turks become German citizens — my understanding is that if they do so they lost inheritance rights back home.
What is a foreign sovereign? Does a pinky toe on American soil transfer a foreigner's agency to the jurisdiction of the united states? Am I mexican just b/c I'm down in Baja? Conversely how can we say a mexican is american just because the experts told us? Trained us. I reject the whole notion. So did the Founding Fathers.
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.
