And in a bar on 6th street in Austin about 30 years ago I had 3 machos tell me “you gonna speak SPAH-nish!”
The boots with the sliver trim they were wearing was um, so tasteful...all the usual MexiBling
Perfect description...
Her constituents want a genocidal La Raza communist as HHS secretary? Why do they hate America?
The RINO Senators have had a perfect record thus far of not forcing Kamala Harris to cast her tie breaking vote.
How convenient for just one Senator to abstain from voting so the count is 49 to 50!!!!
Another Democrat that continues to fail upward.
The RINOs come through every time. For the other side. They never disappoint.
Her constituents don’t have any knowledge of the nominee other than she’s a member of an ethnic minority and voting against her would be racist.
Because if it’s on the tv/internet it must be true.
It’s getting more difficult to not just throw the hands up and pivot to saving ourselves for the country is a sinking ship. DC simply needs to disappear but it is going nowhere.
Perhaps the missing hard drive will magically reappear in DC.
Only Xavier knows for sure...
"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) called Becerra “woefully unqualified” and “a partisan politician with no expertise in healthcare” in a statement after his confirmation."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
All that post-17th Amendment RINO McConnell ever had to do to shut down unconstitutional federal interference in state healthcare is to read Free Republic to point out the following.
Previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court justices had clarified what anybody who studies the Constitution would conclude, that states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate healthcare.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass.” —Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln., 1837.
"Obviously, direct control of medical practice [emphases added] in the states is beyond the power of the federal government.” —Linder v. United States, 1925.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
But until patriots work with their state lawmakers to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers according to the Gibbons v. Ogden excerpt above, the states are going to continue to struggle to find the revenues that they need to give their respective resident voters the kind healthcare programs that they want.
"It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose [emphasis added], serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country.” —Justice Brandeis, Laboratories of democracy.
The constitutionally indefensible Department of Health and Human Services needs to be shut down ASAP imo.
Insights welcome.
The usual suspect.
No government ever reduces the scope of its influence or power. “We have to pass more laws and regulations’ is the prime directive of bureaucracies.
It matters not that HHS, Education, and a slew of other agencies are a waste and not part of the power of the federal government under the constitution. All three branches decided these ARE in the constitutional, and the government has the last word.
All those SCOTUS cites predate the “new” commerce clause jurisprudence, started around Schecter Poultry and running through Wickard v. Filburn and more recently the pot decision, Raich.
Even gun regulation is now justified as constitutional by dint of commerce clause. And if that doesn’t work, Roberts will just relabel the law as a tax. All taxes are constitutional.
Sadly I have to agree with you.
After all we endured last year, it’s obvious that it will take A LOT more suffering before the sheeple will start to figure things out.
I have NO respect for the people of Maine.
He’s a lowlife, subhuman, dirtbag, commie, socialist, anarchist, leftist, hate-America POS, and needs to be stood against a stone wall.
SPJNK.
No pile on intended, but for DECADES Christians have nicely tolerated child sacrifice under the moniker of abortion, by acid, cutting preborn into pieces, head-crushing and/or incision to the base of the brain, all while daring to pray for security-of-self and country.
Judgement and chastisement is a promise against abject disobedience and grave sin that spares no one.
“Many will cry out in my name,’Lord! Lord!’ I will say I never knew you.”
Get ready for : “If you own a gun, you are mentally ill”.

The voters actually have the last word imo. But corrupt, post-17th Amendment (17A) ratification activist lawmakers, presidents and justices have seized the opportunity provided by widespread, inexcusable ignorance of the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers to trick ordinary voters into turning the Oval Office into a throne room imo.
Regarding Wickard v. Filburn (Wickard), that’s when FDR’s state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices scandalously started the political nullification of 10th Amendment (10A)-protected state sovereignty, including effectively nullifying the unique Article V power of the states to amend the Constitution.
More specifically, using inappropriate terms like “concept” and “implicit,” here is what was left of 10A by FDR’s activist justices in Wickard after the last of state sovereignty-respecting majority justices had appropriately emphasized that amendment in United States v. Butler.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
"In discussion and decision, the point of reference, instead of being what was "necessary and proper" to the exercise by Congress of its granted power, was often some concept [???] of sovereignty thought to be implicit [??? emphases added] in the status of statehood." —Wickard v. Filburn, 1942.
Ongoing abuse of their 17A power by ordinary voters sending crooks to DC has really finished off 10A and Article V imo.
Think of this political mayhem as crooks following the money, following the unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that corrupt Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

No he was confirmed because of the imbeciles in Georgia who listened to lin wood.
