Obama's Oxygen Thief HHS Secretary, Xavier Becerra, Is Currently the Leading Democrat for California Governor and Cannot Answer Questions About His Record Without Begging for Mercy

First, he wasn't able to answer questions about the 85,000 migrant children he lost while supposedly safeguarding them in the Biden Open Borders Regime.

He claims they weren't "lost" at all. Merely, that when their "sponsors" were contacted to check up on the health and safety of the children, the sponsors didn't respond.

So not lost, exactly! We just placed them with extremely unreliable drifters with no fixed abode. They were not lost, the people we trusted them with just won't tell us where they are.

He also claims that it's not his fault that no one can find these children because they went missing -- or merely incommunicado, as he insists -- after the period of "sponsorship" by shiftless drifters.

See, they were trafficked later.

When the reporter points out that children as young as 14 wound up, get this, working as near-slave labor in slaughterhouses and with heavy machinery, he just sulks. It's not fair to demand accountability from a Democrat.

Now this is where it turns pathetic: He begins whining that he agreed to a profile not an interview and in a profile you're supposed to shine his ass with Turtle Wax and a sheepskin chamois and only ask a few "tough questions" while this monster just keeps asking him tough questions!

Let me repeat the headline fact: He's the current front-running Democrat for governor, and he says it's not fair to ask him about his actual record.

Everyone’s been wondering whether Xavier Becerra can withstand scrutiny.

An overlooked wrinkle: the rules of the Labour party for triggering leadership contests require that at least 20% of MPs back a single, specific candidate as an alternative to the current party leader. Even though more than 20% of MPs are already calling for Starmer to resign, he isn't forced to submit to a leadership contest unless a sufficient number coalesce on a potential replacement.

The Conservatives under Mulroney passed the torch to Kim Campbell, Canada's first female Prime Minister and went from a majority to only 2 seats if I recall correctly. But the conservatives were in for a long time and 'it was time for a change.'

Posted by: Blonde Morticia at May 12, 2026 06:42 PM

I did this math the other day when some Democrat friends opted to get a little spicy on political topics.

Let's assume a sex-trafficked 14 y.o. girl gets ten "clients" a day and works 300 days per year. That is getting raped 3,000 times a year ... since she did not willfully choose the sex trade.

Let's say she works for 10 years before she blissfully dies from a drug overdose. That is 30,000 rapes in her lifetime.

Let's further assume that the trafficker has a stable of ten girls. That is 300,000 rapes attributable to a single illegal alien that pimps (mostly) Hispanic young girls.

I told them I support policies that try to stop those 300,000 rapes, and that is only a small portion of the overall total. They support policies that enable and support those rapes.

Yet somehow I am the racist?

King Charles III technically possesses the legal power to dissolve Parliament on his own, but he is bound by constitutional conventions to act only on the advice of the Prime Minister.

In practice, the monarch must wait for and grant the advice of the Prime Minister. Unilateral action would likely trigger a severe constitutional crisis and could lead to the abolition of the monarchy or a significant curtailment of royal powers.

For that, parents should name a child Huitzilopochtli.

Huitzilopochtli ("Hummingbird of the South" or "Blue Hummingbird on the Left") was the supreme Aztec deity of sun, war, and sacrifice, serving as the patron god of the Mexica people and their capital, Tenochtitlan. As a central figure in Aztec religion, he required constant nourishment through human sacrifice to fight darkness, and was often symbolized by the hummingbird or eagle.

The British monarchy generally avoids political matters, other than ceremonial roles like the upcoming King's Speech to open new sessions of Parliament.

They traditionally only visit with PMs once a week for briefings.

The only time they would truly get involved politically is if there is a tied election with no clear majority in Parliament in which case they would choose the Prime Minister, and ruling party.

I'm not even sure if that's ever happened.
I can't imagine a parliament divided that closely would be able to govern long anyhow.

Given the reputation that the Spanish had in the 14th and 15th centuries, it’s not a stretch to note that the Mexican people are the bastard children of the two most bloodthirsty cultures on the planet at the time. Arguably that’s the reason why a cultural fusion of the two which should never have worked, actually did.

Posted by: Harry Vandenburg at May 12, 2026 07:05 PM (qrzX6)

The Aztecs adopted a lot of their civilized stances from the Mayan civ, much the way the Romans adopted Greek elements. The Aztecs were migrants from the North who got given an island in the Mexico City lake because they acted like mercenaries, and then took over one of the main clans in the area by marrying into the clan and then butchering and flaying the bride and her family, and just went from there.
Truly insane culture who looked at seasonal sacrifices and said, "you know what this place needs? Flayed skins, permanent smears of blood, and cannibalism for our elite" and set out to achieve it by warring with everyone.
When Cortez arrived, the Aztecs were on the verge of conquering the Mixtec in Oaxaca and the last kingdoms of the Maya in the Guatemala highlands.

One of the things that happen when you eat nothing but corn and don't treat it with Alkaline stuff to release the B vitamins - Mostly Niacin, you get a form of Pellagra. This can lead to truly bizarre mental issues that can turn into hallucinations and mania. Of the (relatively) later adopters of the Three Sisters' suite of subsistence crops (Corn, squash and beans) they seem to be incredibly violent or go in for human sacrifice in a big way. This seems to include the Mound Builders, and the Aztecs.
