[Hill via MSN] Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday pulled a planned vote on Mustafa Kasubhai’s
…born in LA, the child of Moslem Indian immigrants. He has a lot of firsts on his resumé…
nomination to be a district court judge in Oregon.
Republicans had lined up in opposition to Kasubhai’s nomination, and Democratic absences forced Schumer’s hand. Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), John Fetterman (D-Pa.), Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) and Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) were all absent Tuesday, with Menendez having been absent for weeks due to his trial in New York.
The Democratic leader is expected to try to get Kasubhai’s nomination across the finish line when they have full attendance. Bob might be out for a while
Democrats need all hands on deck because Sen. Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.) has said he will not vote for any nominee that does not have bipartisan support. That means they need all 50 remaining Democrats or Independents who vote with Democrats to be present.
Kasubhai has garnered intense opposition among Republicans, who are hoping to tank his nomination. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) panned Schumer on Monday, saying that instead of using floor time on the annual National Defense Authorization Act, he "will dedicate floor time this week to the latest in the Biden administration’s parade of unfit nominations to the federal bench."
"Judge Kasubhai’s record and judicial philosophy put him well outside the mainstream," McConnell said. Well, at least he's not a committed Marxist
The Republican leader also labeled him a "committed Marxist" who is more interested in "passing fads of woke politics" than following the law. Oh

And see, I'da thought that the teachers in Chicago were more responsible for the kids not being able to read.
They were actually in the room with them, and all.

I read somewhere this morning that this broad sends her own kids to private schools. Using racism to cover your own incompetence is a time honored teachers union / Democrat tactic.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] BNSF was ordered to pay the Swinomish tribe nearly $400 million. More penalties for big oil.
US District Judge Robert Lasnik ordered BNSF Railway to turn over the astonishing sum of cash on Monday after finding that the company intentionally trespassed on the Swinomish Tribe's reservation north of Seattle when it repeatedly ran 100-car trains carrying crude oil across the land.
By doing so, the railway deliberately violated a 1991 easement with the tribe that allows trains to carry no more than 25 cars per day, Lasnik initially ruled last year

If only there was another way of moving the stuff. Say like pipelines. Try to get one of those built today.
The past presidents and responsible board members should face $$$ responsibilities for blowing off the tribe and playing the 'go sue me' game as a trade off.

Ahh Besoeker, from Wikipedia: Juneteenth (yes spelled as one word)
Juneteenth, officially Juneteenth National Independence Day, is a federal holiday in the United States. It is celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the ending of slavery in the United States. The holiday's name is a portmanteau of the words "June" and "nineteenth", as it was on June 19, 1865, when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War.[8][9] Although this date commemorates enslaved people learning of their freedom under the Emancipation Proclamation, this only applied to former Confederate states. There remained legally enslaved people in states that never seceded from the Union. These people did not gain their freedom until the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution on December 6, 1865."
[DM] Americans have seen how the Communists in power in Seattle treat the police - as scapegoats and pinatas
Seattle has become the latest Dem-run city trying to replace an exodus of police officers with illegal migrants.
Washington's largest city has just 913 cops to serve its 750,000 people after losing 725 officers in the last five years.
Now its police department has tweaked the rules to allow applications from migrants who crossed the border illegally as children and are registered on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), or 'Dreamers', program.
And under a law change signed by Democrat Governor Jay Inslee in February they can be chosen above an equally qualified candidate if they speak more than one language.
More than 500,000 people in the US registered under the Obama-era DACA program before it was rescinded by Donald Trump in 2017.
While they are allowed to work in the US under a renewable two-year work permit, restrictions on carrying firearms had previously barred them from police work.
But in a memo last year the Justice Department stated that 'DACA recipients can possess duty firearms and possess ammunition as part of their official law enforcement officer duties'.

This will lead to a cataclysmic clash of oppressed classes. Do illegal aliens become oppressors once they join the police force? This is going to confuse the hippies.

Illegal migrants will become cops? I think the key word here is illegal but I thought cops were supposed to enforce the law. The idea must be that they will do whatever the commies want and to hell with the law. Seattle will become a damn good place to avoid.

The "law" now is simply a set of rules used to punish anyone not onboard with the communist narrative. Who better to enforce sham civility than illegal cops? Next up, stunning increases in disappearances and kidnappings.

[FoxNews] Migrants have arrived on flights from Europe and Australia.
A Biden administration program to offer migrants "humanitarian" commercial flights directly to dozens of American airports has seen supposedly endangered migrants fly to the U.S. from some of the world's richest countries.
Migrants are being flown in from rich European countries such as France and Germany and vacation hot spots like the Bahamas and Jamaica under the Biden administration's CHNV Program, according to data obtained by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).
The CHNV Program, which allows migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to fly commercially directly to dozens of U.S. airports, was launched in 2022 and was created to give nationals from those countries and their family members sanctuary in the U.S. for "urgent humanitarian reasons."
The program has led to over 460,000 migrants being flown to the U.S., according to the CIS report, with the migrants being released on temporary humanitarian parole for renewable two-year periods and given work permits. The migrants are also assumed to be using that time to apply for asylum, though the CIS report notes they are not required to submit an asylum application.
But the list of departure countries used casts doubt on claims that the migrants are in any sort of urgent danger. In addition to Germany and France, migrants have flown to the U.S. from Australia, Iceland, Fiji, Greece, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Italy, Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Other popular vacation hot spots include the Caribbean, Barbados, Martinique, St. Lucia. St. Kitts, Nevis, St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
In all, migrants have been flown to undisclosed U.S. airports from 77 countries, a list that also included Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

Our border crises IS NOT by accident. THIS👇🏼 video starts with Sheriff Lamb showing the pre-paid debit cards they find on illegals they encounter...
Then it shows migration hubs in Equador and Columbia
where the IOM (International Organization of Migration) of the UN is organizing all of this!! With maps and directions (written in Chinese in this instance)
The IOM guy they caught on camera was NOT HAPPY... why would that be?🤔
We are being flooded on purpose and while the Biden admin is responsible for leaving our border wide open, it goes WAY deeper than that!!!

There were far more defense contractors back in the 60s just as there were more ship construction yards. It's all be shrunk down to a handful of available corporations. Efficiency vs Single Point of Failure?
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.
