Thursday Overnight Open Thread (2/9/17) Fast & Loose With The Facts Edition
The ONT received the following from Speaker of The House Paul Ryan this past week. His letter was dated February 1, 2017.
Dear Misanthropic Humanitarian: The people of Wisconsin have spoken. With a loud, clear, conservative voice on Election Day, Wisconsinites shocked the political world by electing Republicans with a mandate to: Aim High. Be Bold. Go Big. GET RESULTS!! [May I interject? That was my first laugh.] We have a new President, a unified Republican government, and a new beginning. [Several paragraphs of babble and begging for money] During President Obama's eight years in office, we were subjected to broken promises, failed policies at home, and the loss of respect for our country around the world. Our country was going the wrong way (and fast).
We have to fix that. And WE WILL! We're acting quickly to repeal and replace ObamaCare. [That sentence earned my first utterance of Bullshit] [Several more paragraphs of hoo-rah] We've tried health care the Washington Way. Now let's do it the American Way by replacing ObamaCare with patient-centered system with more choices, better services and lower costs. I want to give you back the control that ObamaCare took away from you. [Another page and a half of campaign rhetoric, begging for money, proud of having my help yadda, yadda, yadda. ] Nothing will stop us. Sincerely Yours, Paul Ryan
Wisconsin Congressman
House Speaker PS. [Blah, blah, blah and blah]
Yes, fast and loose with the facts. Just exactly were you Republican (?) folks doing while TFG was in the White House. You brought how many bills to repeal Obamacare, but you didn't have anything ready to go? Games, it's all fun and games until you have a chance to "govern".
So repeal and replace ehh Congressman? My response Congressman.
Quotes of The Day Quote I
There is no distinctly American criminal class - except Congress. -Mark Twain
Quote II
The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money. -Alexis de Tocqueville
Quote III
The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.- Will Rogers
Quote IV
Americans have a lower opinion of Congress than they do of the NFL replacement refs, head lice, traffic jams, cockroaches and even the group to which yours truly belongs - Washington political pundits.- Juan WilliamsJuan, The ONT believes you are tied about right now.
A UFM (Unidentified Flying Moron) submitted this to The ONT. He received this letter from the president of the company.
Dear Peetniks, In light of recent events, I’m reaching out to reaffirm our values and beliefs as a company. Peet’s is and always will be a place of inclusion and community. Our Peet’s family is made up of a vibrant mix of people from many walks of life, beliefs and backgrounds, and it is this diversity that makes us so special. We source coffee from 25 countries around the world, and have established mutually beneficial long-term relationships based on trust and respect for different people and cultures. In these times of uncertainty, we stand strong in our dedication to equality. We do not accept intolerance or discrimination. We do not waver in our commitment to our team members, customers and communities in which we live and work to provide a safe, tolerant and welcoming place. Our doors are open to you - no matter what country you hail from, your spiritual beliefs, the color of your skin or whom you love. That is how Peet’s began more than 50 years ago -- when we were founded by a Dutch immigrant -- and it is this ethos that still drives us today and is a source of such pride. As such, we are committed to doing the right thing, and we will not be shaken in our quest to be a beacon of equality and tolerance. Thankfully, there are guardians of liberty in these uncertain times. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is organizing lawyers throughout the country to defend the country’s civic values and the human rights of our citizens. The ACLU is a non-partisan, non-profit organization with no political affiliation dedicated to defending the most vulnerable in our society. In parallel with a national coffee fundraiser taking place this weekend and supported by scores of coffee companies, Peet’s will be making a $25,000 donation to the ACLU on behalf of all of our Peetniks. Through this campaign, we hope to contribute to an effort that is about equality and creating a world built on tolerance, inclusion and community. Be assured that we stand together and hold true to our values. Thanks for making Peet’s such a great place to work.Peet's is the owner of Caribou Coffee. What is wrong with this employer's letter?
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN.
Screw Starbucks, shove it Caribou. My coffee allegiance belongs to Black Rifle Coffee Company.
"If the CEO of Starbucks is going to push press releases with a political agenda, I'll be the counterpoint. I'll be the conservative option. My intention isn't to defame Howard Schultz. Starbucks is a great company for its employees. But Schultz has openly said that he doesn't want the business of conservatives. I don't like his political agenda. So I'll supply coffee to the people that he doesn't want to. And I know Starbucks is hiring a PR company to defame Black Rifle. They are going to go after my company and tell people that I can't do what I said I would. They plan to do it through proxies with social media pundits and a few news outlets. And it just continues to get unraveled more about why people shouldn't do business with them."Usually The ONT stays away from business promotion. But not tonight. C'mon Morons let's help this guy's business.
Hmmmm. Debbie
After her embarrassing resignation from her role as DNC chair, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz hid from the spotlight for months. However, she is back, and, once again, linked to a corruption scandal. Politico reported on February 6 that Imran Awan, who is currently employed by Wasserman Schultz, is under criminal investigation for “wide-range equipment and data theft.” Wasserman Schultz’s communications director provided Politico with few details into the investigation and refused to answer any followup questions.
Is he serious? Or is he just an attention whore? Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.)
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) introduced a bill (HR 899) Tuesday that contains just one single sentence “The Department of Education shall terminate on December 31, 2018.”Block grants to states and local control would be a wonderful thing.
Our Founding Fathers must be rolling over in their graves.Law being drafted to protect free speech on college campuses.
Draft legislation has been published with the aim of guaranteeing free speech in US college campuses. The proposals would attempt to reinstate free expression by stopping institutions from disinviting controversial speakers, and explicitly teaching students that universities exist to uphold the First Amendment. The new rules were published last week by the Goldwater Institute think tank, with the aim of forming a model for state legislatures to debate, amend and pass.

Meet the Peruvian Nuns who rock. No, not that Peruvia. Wonder what the roadies say when they drop one of those Marshall's on their feet? Oh gosh darn that super smarts?
Quite the cargo. Canada air drops wild bison in Banff National Park.
These are the first wild bison to set hooves down in Banff National Park in well over a century, after their forebears were over-hunted nearly to the point of extinction during the 1800s. They don't have free range of the park at this point, and will remain in an enclosed pasture in order to acclimate to the new surroundings. Wildlife experts have tagged the herd and will closely monitor its behavior over the next year to make sure the reintroduction process continues smoothly
Ingestible batteries are invented.
Researchers at MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital have recently invented a breakthrough device that could make that super-targeted treatment much safer. It's an ingestible battery. Yes, it can be swallowed, unlike the button cell batteries of death all around your house. And more than that, it is actually powered by the acids in the stomach, allowing it to reside safely in your gastrointestinal tract for several days. “A big challenge in implantable medical devices involves managing energy generation, conversion, storage, and utilization. This work allows us to envision new medical devices where the body itself contributes to energy generation enabling a fully self-sustaining system,” said Anantha Chandrakasan, head of MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Real or fake?
GLADSTONE, Miss. (KSHB) - A 19-year-old Missouri woman whose family emigrated from Mexico says she was the target of harassment while she was exercising last Thursday.
Jessica Diaz said she was out for a run when a man pulled up next to her.
"He rolls down his window, he looks at me, and tells me 'I didn't know there was any illegals living in this neighborhood'," she explained. "He then spat on my face and told me to go back to my country."
She described the alleged suspect as an older white male with white hair, blue eyes, and a white beard.
The incident left Diaz shocked and saddened moments after it happened.
"I just stood there. I couldn't believe it had just happened to me," she said. "I walked back home and I cried. That's all I could do."

Some good news.
Got confirmation from Hubby that Joyce starts Avastin on the 13th. This was somewhat of a challenge b/c of insurance.
It's important because at one of Monday's appointments the doc indicated that it's really a necessity now if her treatment is "to go forward."

"The proposals would attempt to reinstate free expression by stopping institutions from disinviting controversial speakers, and explicitly teaching students that universities exist to uphold the First Amendment."
Interestingly, from the 50's through the late 60's UNC had a ban on commie speakers. BUT, it was rescinded because 'free speech'. Oddly, once in control, the Lefties are happily banning speech which they find inconvenient.

Not quite the same thing at all. I was thinking, harnesses, dude, wow.
Vivid Map Company spells "borders" as "boarders." I'm sure I'll cite them in my next thesis.
I don't understand things like that football map. If you live in a county, do they issue you fan gear, and you have to, like that team? Where I am, there are people liking a lot of different teams. Kind of makes it fun. No notes on the methodology, but I guess, they take some kind of survey, and whoever is the biggest group gets the color code? That's a certain kind of thinking, it is, and it's the kind that makes some Morons wish death and destruction on whole states where they know damn well their friends and relatives live. Because "map code color!" I guess some people think like that. Don't like it.

Uh. No. If the Feds have money to waste on blog grants to local government, then the Federal Tax rates are too high and should be cut.
Nixon started this 'revenue sharing' after yet another 'fix' for social security, and the Feds had all this SS money rolling in and no lockbox to store all those digits. So the money had to go somewhere, and it was back to the states to buy votes.
All that money didn't help Nixon any and funded a whole lot of leftist programs.

But immigration proceedings are matters of administrative law, not criminal law. (As a result, the consequence of violating your immigration status is not jail but deportation.) And Congress has nearly full authority to regulate immigration without interference from the courts. Because immigration is considered a matter of national security and foreign policy, the Supreme Court has long held that immigration law is largely immune from judicial review. Congress can make rules for immigrants that would be unacceptable if applied to citizens.

An alien can be deported at any time for any reason, therefore his speech can be restricted. Now, we have made laws that extend some privileges to aliens we allow in but those are not Constitutional rights.
I don't say that an alien can be prosecuted for speech (aliens are severely restricted from participating in our political system - speech and all) but he can be thrown out, for sure, which is enough to say that his speech can be heavily curtailed.

Chelsea Clinton tweeted out two fake news stories on Wednesday, one of which she later acknowledged was false while the other about an abortion law in Arkansas she continued to defend as fact.
Clinton sent out one story that described how climate data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is “disappearing” from its website, in an apparent swipe at President Donald Trump, who has questioned the existence of climate change.
The second story discussed a new law in Arkansas that would, according to Clinton’s retweet, allow rapists to sue victims who get an abortion.
Both stories have since been proven false, and the Daily Caller‘s Chuck Ross called out Clinton for promoting the stories.

Sure. But there are no Constitutional grounds for the alien to stand on. Of course, in today's world, everything in our courts is more political than legal. It's a sad state of affairs and why the Congress needs to start exercising its responsibilities to defend the Constitution against federal judges with lifetime appointments who think that that means they are allowed to do any damn thing they please.

I don't say that an alien can be prosecuted for speech (aliens are severely restricted from participating in our political system - speech and all) but he can be thrown out, for sure, which is enough to say that his speech can be heavily curtailed.

Nixon did more than think about it, he attempted to deport Lennon. It went back and forth in the courts for a few years, but after Nixon resigned, Ford let the matter drop.

He is a former feral kitten and does not like being picked up or taken to the vet, so I wound up having to net him in my shirt after cornering him.
Gah, It was like the Kipling story about the battle between Rikki-tikki-tavi and Nag among the water jars. In this case, Nag won and he went to the vets'
He had drains in so I have to take him back on Monday to get them out. So he gets to spend the weekend in a kennel so we don't have to have a rematch.

This about them: they got replaced with Chevettes, and we missed them.
Yes, the Pontiac T1000 was the badge-engineered Chevette. Just about killed an old boss of mine. Should have been a city car only; rolled into a state-route ditch, it deformed rather badly. Government couldn't buy 'em fast enough, and never thought to limit the application, so this senior executive had no choice but to drive it all over the state. They weren't up to that.

Not quite the same thing at all. I was thinking, harnesses, dude, wow.
Vivid Map Company spells "borders" as "boarders." I'm sure I'll cite them in my next thesis.
I don't understand things like that football map. If you live in a county, do they issue you fan gear, and you have to, like that team? Where I am, there are people liking a lot of different teams. Kind of makes it fun. No notes on the methodology, but I guess, they take some kind of survey, and whoever is the biggest group gets the color code? That's a certain kind of thinking, it is, and it's the kind that makes some Morons wish death and destruction on whole states where they know damn well their friends and relatives live. Because "map code color!" I guess some people think like that. Don't like it.

It's one of those maps based on "Facebook likes", the dumbest fucking metric ever, but in today's world, some people that do these maps thinks it is fascinating to create that map.
I know from real metrics, like TV ratings, that there is no way that Dallas is the most popular team in over half of Virginia. Not. Even. Close. On several occasions, TV stations have decided to dump the Redskins' game on the last weekend or two of the season to show Cowboys' games. The GMs of those stations issue mea culpas on the Monday after the game and promise never to do it again.

1988 Accord - bought new. Lasted 245k miles. Sold it for 10% of the original price.
1990 Jeep SporTruck - bought new (I couldn't drive a Honda in a steel mill, now!) Lasted for at least 100k miles. Sold it to another coworker in 2002.
1998 Honda Civic - bought new. Lasted 200k miles. Sold to a family member who is still driving it.
2002 Honda Civic Hybrid - bought new. Lasted 220k miles until the batteries went out. Awaiting final disposition.
2004 Honda Accord - inherited from parents. Has about 160k miles, I think, and getting long in the tooth. I will have to start looking for the next one.

It's not putting down people who are here legally working toward becoming citizens to refer to them as aliens, and it doesn't disparage their legal status. Foreigners living here are aliens, until they become citizens. It's just a simple statement of legal fact.

My first car was an '81 Toyota Celica Hatchback (new). Drove it for 20 years. Daughter trashed it by negligent driving; bought a used Toyota something or another. Then a new 2001 VW Passat Wagon with manual transmission (all my cars have been manual transmission vehicles). That died, totaled, within five years with the engine aspirated water from a plugged drain in the battery well and bent the crankshaft (don't ask). Returned to the SOA Toyota before getting a new 2010 Mazda 3. It's okay, but I'm looking to ditch it for a late model manual transmission truck in the next year or so. The two Mrs. Krebs have had about the same number of vehicles each over the same 35 year time span. Buying vehicles ain't our thing.

woman whose family emigrated from Mexico says she was the target of
harassment while she was exercising last Thursday.
Jessica Diaz said she was out for a run when a man pulled up next to her.
"He rolls down his window, he looks at me, and tells me 'I didn't
know there was any illegals living in this neighborhood'," she
explained. "He then spat on my face and told me to go back to my
country."
She described the alleged suspect as an older white male with white hair, blue eyes, and a white beard.
The incident left Diaz shocked and saddened moments after it happened.
"I just stood there. I couldn't believe it had just happened to me,"
she said. "I walked back home and I cried. That's all I could do."

Barring a comprehensive repudiation of the nonsense to date in the EO case (to include "standing" aspects), the judiciary has now asserted that it can assume control of hitherto unquestioned national security prerogatives of the president - as it chooses, on a whim. Without reference to the constitution or statutes.
And if you think that much of any consequence will get accomplished - in immigration or many other areas, where there are at least weak but existing hooks for the courts to grab onto - if this judicial coup is allowed to stand, you might be mistaken.
There no longer is any real theoretical limit to judicial review. They can invent standing, ignore the const. and statutes. If they can do it non-chalantly, as they are doing now, on matters that may produce dead bodies in the near term, who thinks they won't be 100 times as aggressive in other areas?

Two schools of thought. That the Constitution is a contract of "we the People" meaning citizens, or, it's more a declaration of human rights, and anyone in US jurisdiction enjoys its full protection. Not a new dispute, either.
Let's look at it this way. I belong to a club, of citizens. We rent a hall because we want to hear and discuss the opinions of an alien. A local authority nixes that because there might be trouble. Whose rights have been violated -- mine, or my hired speaker?

That's the speech of citizens. Aliens, as I have pointed out, have their freedom of speech curtailed as it relates to our political processes, just for a simple example.
Further, Congress doesn't have to write any law to allow an alien to be kicked out of the country. Congress has to write laws that detail when an alien is allowed to stay in our country. An alien has no inherent, Constitutional right to be here.
Of course, aliens have the great advantage that they can't be guilty of treason ... so there's that.

So I caught a bit of something on SHO and I needed to go to OnDemand and rewatch. Mark Halperin and John Heilman did a behind the scenes documentary all through the campaign and they just put out a new one that focuses on the Trump campaign from the beginning.
I fast forwarded the first hour and fifteen. I didn't need to relive the primaries or the Hillary! debates. The part I settled in for was election night.
I'm still not even a Trump guy, but oh what a reminder of how awful Hillary! was. And there was the Javitz Center full of mourners. First shocked, then stunned, then sitting on the floor hugging each other.

Seems my brother had forgotten to remove "something" from the Friday night before.
Good times were had that night when the old man got home.

well, we may not be able to get the hides immediately, however, we should start having the conversation immediately.
the conversation of whether we have a living breathing document or one set in stone? what rights are and who has them. we are actually starting to have the conversation in fits and starts.
those advocating for a living breathing document are not protecting and defending the Constitution, quite the opposite.

You aren't. If the populace was concerned with the rule of law, the judge would be removed immediately. BUT, the Left have seized all of academe, and indoctrinated the majority with the idea that the outcome is more important than the rule of law. It bodes ill.

Yankeefifth, nope. Things are quite dire when courts intrude on unquestioned executive branch national security prerogatives, with no basis whatsoever including the law. And as I said above, if this coup succeeds then many important things the next few years will be slowed or defeated outright by the super-legislature in robes.
And as far as last word on the constitution, the one branch that would absolutely *not* have that word would be the unaccountable, unelected one.
And good luck impeaching a federal judge for professional malfeasance. Big-time criminal violations are a minimum to have a chance at that (and it's still not easy).

I was only responding to your objection to the word alien.
Regarding speech...
I am of the school that believes the US Constitution is a compact between the citizens of the US and its government. There are no right for aliens, legal or ot6herwise, other than those granted via legislation. Nothing constitutional.
I am aware that there are various court decisions that have ruled otherwise, but as far as what I believe the constitution says, that is it.

So I caught a bit of something on SHO and I needed to go to OnDemand and rewatch. Mark Halperin and John Heilman did a behind the scenes documentary all through the campaign and they just put out a new one that focuses on the Trump campaign from the beginning.
I fast forwarded the first hour and fifteen. I didn't need to relive the primaries or the Hillary! debates. The part I settled in for was election night.
I'm still not even a Trump guy, but oh what a reminder of how awful Hillary! was. And there was the Javitz Center full of mourners. First shocked, then stunned, then sitting on the floor hugging each other.
It was as satisfying as re-watching the NFL Films version of the Super Bowl with the players mic-ed and the new angles. It was glorious.

There are all sorts of ways foreigners can come here legally without actually becoming Americans. They can be tourists, exchange students, guest workers, diplomats (or relatives thereof), refugees... but until they become citizens, yes, they are foreigners; they are aliens.
Our very own Chique d'Afrique announced here on this blog that she had become a full-on American citizen. We were all proud of her, and welcomed her to her new status as an American.
Prior to that, yes, she was an alien. She was "one of us" in a very real sense, because she was with us, politically-speaking, but she was still a foreigner right up until she became a US citizen.
She was really proud of having become an actual American, and we were all proud of her, too.

I read a UN Report regarding Syrian refugees and ID. The UN says that they do make every attempt to ID everyone who makes it to a camp. Problem is that the individuals who are rural/nomadic (specially females) are not issued birth certificates or id papers. In some cases where entire villages are destroyed, the UN issued documents are usually the only papers these people have. In some instances ID can keep only be verified by travelling companion.
Report was from 2015 I think. I'm on my Kindle so can't pull up bookmarks.

I never said that Milo was breaking any law or shouldn't be allowed to speak. I was only pointing out that I don't like people to hinge some 1st amendment arguments on aliens who don't have the right of free speech, to begin with, because they don't have any "right" to be here.
I have no problems with Milo. I like him a bit. But he's not an American (so I've heard) and, therefore, cannot be the face of any 1st amendment argument as regards his individual speech. That's all.
As I wrote in some comment above, the Americans in the audience certainly have their rights to free association and assembly but those rights aren't transitive - they don't imbue an alien with any "rights". We have made laws to extend many privileges to alien guests but they remain nothing but privileges which can be snatched away by law as easily as they were first extended.
Of course, this is all theoretical as any discussion of Constitutionality and actual law means pretty much nothing in our court system ...

You have to imagine there was some gussetting involved there.
You can set a car up to handle. That doesn't mean its natural tendencies are not quirky and fierce. And hell, once properly tweaked, they often get quirkier and fiercer.
Usual trouble with subcompacts back then was amplification of The American Flaw: not enough weight on the back wheels. "Add enough lightness" and this became an actual vice. Unloaded, they were twirly, even with their puny stock motor. Low-ish polar moment, simple therefore only grudgingly compliant rear suspension.
Snickiest vehicles I ever had to "manage" were the Jeep DJ Dispatchers, a Mishawaka product with two wheel drive and the big ol' Rambler Six, carbureted. A sticky automatic choke on a frosty morning, brick streets? Consider yourself end-swapped, just that quick.

If Trump rescinds/amends the EO, he's made the courts part of his administration, in effect. Which means he's made hostile entities, political opponents, even foreign entities part of his decision process.
The smart money expects that a tiny number of freak judges from the most lawless circuit, brazenly ignoring relevant law, can render this outlandish result - the new president will cede hitherto unquestioned national security authority - and that this administration won't be eaten alive with lawfare on most of its major domestic initiatives?

No that is correct... aliens do not have any rights not given them by Congress. They have no Constitutional rights. This is proven by the fact that judicial activism only tries to give them rights that the left approves of (so no second amendment rights) and why aliens were legally deported for violating the alien and sedition act even as it was declared unconstitutional as applied to citizens.

A friend of mine had an early 70's Pinto. He finally sold it when rust got into the door panels, and the driver's side door fell off.
Always the Ford fan, he moved onto a '78 Fairmont wagon (with 4 on the floor!). he kept that for a few years until the driver's seat fell through the rusted out floor.

Aliens - in the LPR (green card) category - are in fact allowed to own firearms. Believe the 4473 (background check) form has "citizen" and "legal resident" boxes (or something like that).
Have no idea how that came about, whether it rests on a legislative or court/const. interpretation basis.
Also pretty sure that, at least de facto, aliens have certain BOR protections - those relevant to criminal proceedings, for example. Habeas corpus, the 5th, the 4th's limits on searches/seizures. A criminal (not immigration status) case against an alien isn't going anywhere in any US court if any of those trip-wires have been tripped.
Again, not sure of the legal infrastructure underneath it all, but pretty sure this is the case.

Milo is an alien, all right. He has come here as a guest worker, specifically to discuss his opinions.
I certainly wouldn't support silencing him (in fact, I oppose the idea), but, yeah, I can understand the argument that technically the 1st Amendment doesn't really apply to him, because he's not actually an American.
That's something I'll have to give a little more thought, to try to make sure my views are actually consistent on this point.

The "outcome" of acquiescing in the escalating onslaught of judicial lawlessness is more of it. And this EO falls entirely outside the court's meaningful jurisdiction (pro forma confirmation of legality, a la the MA district, was the only reasonable action).
If you don't think the judicial bolsheviks winning this round (which they still may not, I still think SCOTUS would balk at the audacity of this assault on the constitutional system) won't directly result in even more ambitious lawfare against anything useful Trump tries, then I'm curious why.

Maybe not the world's finest car, but they'd last forever, the '03s and newer had great suspension and handling, a well cared for one could easily get 27 mpg on the highway, and of course, the roominess, ride and all day comfort of the car.
Pretty much unequaled in today's market, at anywhere near a comparable price-point, when adjusted for inflation.
And with a few tweaks, it wasn't hard to mildly improve the power, get up to 29 or 30 mpg highway, make the handling even better, and never, ever alter the car to look anything other than plain ol' factory stock in the doing.
Mercury made 'em till the 2011 year, identical save for badging.
If I can find a low mileage grannymobile, I'll do my best to buy it and drive it for another decade.

fact allowed to own firearms. Believe the 4473 (background check) form
has "citizen" and "legal resident" boxes (or something like that).
Have no idea how that came about, whether it rests on a legislative or court/const. interpretation basis.
Also pretty sure that, at least de facto, aliens have certain BOR
protections - those relevant to criminal proceedings, for example.
Habeas corpus, the 5th, the 4th's limits on searches/seizures. A
criminal (not immigration status) case against an alien isn't going
anywhere in any US court if any of those trip-wires have been tripped.
Again, not sure of the legal infrastructure underneath it all, but pretty sure this is the case.
Posted by: rhomboid at February 10, 2017 12:12 AM (QDnY+)
You are correct that permanent residents do have the right to own firearms (and, have other rights and responsibilities including registering for the draft).
And courts have through judicial activism said that other rights like 4 and 5 amendment rights apply to aliens of all classes. I would argue though that Constitutional rights (rather than legislation from the bench) is an all or nothing affair. You either have them all or they are not yours to begin with.
The fact that no court ever has ruled that non-permanent resident aliens have the right to own guns shows the other "rights" they have extended to include aliens both legal and illegal to be the farce they are.

Kennedy.
Roberts.
I rest my case (just kidding).
But we are seeing, this very day, the fruits of dealing with judicial lawlessness and aggrandizement through half-measures and quarter-measures and temporary fixes and relying on individuals to (barely) keep the train on the tracks.
I don't have a true "fix" (which would mean creating integrity and adherence to job description and the constitution in the humans involved).
But since I don't see any fix of that sort, the only serious option is (greatly) limiting court jurisdiction.
Even THAT might not work - we increasingly face the conundrum confronting democrats trying to create rule of law and integrity in lawless places in the 3rd World and former USSR. How do you create a system based on rule of law, when the people staffing the system refuse to be bound by the law?
Few places in human history have had anything like true rule of law, not men - the US of course by far the most notable and important. I think we've lost it, or are on the cusp of doing so.

I know they had a law about the same media entity controlling all the media in a city. I can't remember the city, but it was a company that owned a newspaper and a radio station and they want to buy or start a TV station. The FCC objected to having all the media controlled by the same outfit.
Nothing at all to do with foreign ownership. And if events had went in a different order: if they had owned the TV station first and then went to buy a newspaper, the FCC wouldn't be able to say dick.
But, to get to your point: no, I don't think there is anyone trying to control foreign ownership of print media. But, if the federal government wanted to restrict foreign ownership, I think they would be able to under the constitution.
What about you? During WWII, if a newspaper in the US was owned by Japanese or German interests, would the government have been able to shut them down? Since the feds were rounding people up and sticking them in camps, I think they would have. Come to think of it, maybe they did. Were there any Japanese people putting out newsletters or the like at the time? I don't know, but I think it is something the government would not have allowed to continue.

Like Mustangs, though, they did get over-motored a lot. They had plenty of power with a modest version of a small block. There was a 307 that was unique to the Nova. Yet you saw them with the 396 in there. The frame of that car, as you might call it, was not sufficient to carry that engine around, much less deal with its torque.
I had a 67 Mustang with a built-up Boss 302. Just trying out some hole shots one day, I just about tore it in half. It was not rusty. The "engine support cradle" beams had 2 to 3 inches left unripped. Cost a little, but we were able to pull motor, straighten the channels, install gussets, and save it. Also put in the subframe connectors and Monte Carlo brace that could have been stock from the factory for less than $100 their cost.
And yet, AND YET, they sold that car with the 390, right out the dealership door. They must have been left laying in the streets from coast to coast.

The nic you're thinking of, is, I believe "Citation X Driver".
Which does not refer to the pukeworthy GM product known as the "X-Car", as in Chevy Citation. Their first foray into the world of front-wheel-drive, in U.S. factories.
Rather it refers to him being a Corporate Aviation Pilot, flying the Cessna Citation X bizjet.
Which at a .92 Mach cruise speed, and .96 VNE speed, is the fastest corporate jet in the world at this time.
Only certain versions of the Boeing 747 have the same speeds. Nothing else short of military hardware flies faster.
Yeah, the Concorde did, and Tupolev flew their"Concordski" a grand total of 50 flights, most of those in cargo-only mode.
As yet, there's not an FAA certificated supersonic bizjet on the market. Some are said to be getting close, though.
But a Chebby Citation X would dissolve in a cloud of self-disassembled scrap, were one ambitious enough to strap on enough JATO rockets to get it even above 100 mph.

My first-first was a 1953 Lincoln which I bought in 1963 when I was 15 because my dad had been laid off for a couple years and finally got a job offer in another city and we only had one car which mom needed to get to work and back so I used my car fund I'd saved to buy him a car to get to work. Cost $100. That winter he slid off the road with it and rear-ended a tree but by that time he had money to buy a new car, a 1964 Ford Galaxy 500.
When I turned 16 and got my license he gave me the $100 toward my second first car and the first one I drove, drove through HS. $500 for a two tone blue and white 1958 Ford Fairlane, 6 cylinder 3 on the tree, but loved those bench seats.

I never warmed up to their stock sixes, 144 and 170. The 200 six though, with multiple carbs, was the power plant the Mustang was designed to take. Seven main bearings, and blowed up to many larger sizes in later versions.

The other guitar player had 1965 Imperial 2 door. I had muscle cars and occasionally questioned their choices, but looking back on it they were cool cars.

When I was in college in '66 my parents bought an all metallic blue 1966 Olds Cutlass which looked like some old man's car. Under the hood was a 320 hp 330ci V8 with 10 to 1 compression. Just a two speed automatic but floored it shifted to high at 70 mph. Fun car to surprise people with.

Some jerk was next to me in my Chevelle; don't remember what car he was in, something small that he thought he could beat me in, also with a two-speed power glide if I recall. The two lane road turned into one lane to go over this bridge from Hoboken to Jersey City, so I did the old power brake and smoked him. I laughed all the way home. God I miss big American cars.

My most fun car was an International Harvester stepvan that someone before me had made into a sorta camper. This was before the days of seat belt laws and I put a light chain that would hook across the driver's door and drive the highways with the door slid open. It finally sprang a radiator leak and the repair cost was too much so I drove it too a dealer who offered $300 for anything you could drive onto the lot and traded it for a 1966 VW camper bus.

Diesel pros: lower fuel cost, long service life (provided regular maintenance is faithfully done), massive torque for pulling trailers or hauling heavy loads.
Diesel cons: higher first cost, higher service costs (oil changes cost about double), new ones need "Diesel Exhaust Fluid", slightly slower acceleration.
Now that Diesel fuel is more expensive than gasoline in many areas, the fuel cost advantage has greatly diminished; also gasoline engine fuel economy has improved greatly over the last 20-odd years, while Diesel fuel economy has improved modestly.
If you routinely tow a heavy trailer or haul heavy loads, spring for the Diesel. Otherwise, I think the gasoline engine is the better choice in today's circumstances.

The recent push for even-higher economy, causing everyone and their chinchilla to design around a turbocharged 2.0L, has messed with gasoline prices, too.
Not too many years ago, the steps between "regular", "midgrade", and "premium" were a dime or so. Now, I usually see pricing like $2.25, $2.40, $2.65, so the "premium" premium has doubled to 40 cents/gallon, because of all the turbocharged weenie engines that require it.

i dropped the hammer, got rubber at 65, and ate his lunch before the next exit.

straight 6, 4 speed manual, with a granny low you never used.
except for the time some FNG's ran a Cav Deuce out of fuel at the top of the southbound exit to Club Bob, blocking it.
they walked over to the supply room, because it was the closest place on base the Squadron was at.
everyone was like "oh shit we gotta get that out of there ASAP, before there's problem, how do we contact the maintenance troggs?"
i just went over, unlocked a couple arms vault chains and took them and the 5200 series locks, and told the E-6 i w*rked for that i'd be back in a bit.
hoped in it, with the idiots, drove over, locked one end around the trailer hitch with a lock, locked the 2 chains together, and used the 3rd lock to attach the other end to one of the towing rings on the front bumper. i then told the brightest looking of the FNGs that he was driving, that he was not to hit the brakes unless i signaled, stop signs or not, and that if he ripped off my bumper or hit my truck for not stopping when i told him to, i'd beat the ever loving shit out of him.
put it in granny low, eased off the clutch and towed that bastard onto base... the MP at the gates just watched, and didn't say shit.
once safely off the road at the supply room, i told the idiots they had to walk over, get a jerry can of DF-2, and bring it back, so i could show them what to do if they were ever this stupid again.
they whined that the fuelers were a long way away. i told them that stupid is supposed to be painful, so you learn from it. they looked at my NCO for salvation, and all he said was "start walking".
their excuse for running out of fuel? "the gauge said we had plenty"
that was the other lesson they learned that day: Fuck gauges in a military vehicle, look in tank and see what's there.

I'm confused by that football map. Oakland has no football loyalty in-Oakland?
That can't be right.

Real or fake?
GLADSTONE, Miss. (KSHB) - A 19-year-old Missouri woman whose family emigrated from Mexico says she was the target of harassment while she was exercising last Thursday.
Jessica Diaz said she was out for a run when a man pulled up next to her.
"He rolls down his window, he looks at me, and tells me 'I didn't know there was any illegals living in this neighborhood'," she explained. "He then spat on my face and told me to go back to my country."
She described the alleged suspect as an older white male with white hair, blue eyes, and a white beard.
The incident left Diaz shocked and saddened moments after it happened.
"I just stood there. I couldn't believe it had just happened to me," she said. "I walked back home and I cried. That's all I could do."

Fake. What, she approached the car and stuck her head like a hooker in to get spat on? That and the fact these stories are never true.

They could do most of it by repealing Obamacare itself, then remove all coverage mandates (gender reassignment surgery, birth control) allow cross state shopping.
Tort reform (loser pay winners costs) is the new effort they need to put in place to reduce costs.
