“Cain ruled in January that the Civil Rights Act only authorizes enforcement in cases of intentional discrimination.”

Looks like lawfare has hit a brick wall.  Title VI of the Civil Rights Act doesn't allow legal carte blanche after all.

Supporting troops: A bipartisan consensus amidst polarization

“Learn how a whole of nation approach can help recruit the force of tomorrow.”

Oh, no.  If the military can't recruit enough suckers, err... patriots, then the country would have to rely upon citizen militias.  And a President Kamala Harris couldn't lead the country into another quagmire without politically expendable troops. We might even have to resort to military...

It 'Ends Now'—Donald Trump Reveals Surprise Assault On 'Crooked' Wall Street

“Former U.S. president Donald Trump has said it's time to "take a stand" against Wall Street...”

Decentralized finance is a proper policy prescription, IMO.  Finance has gradually become so concentrated and autocratic that it is stifling the general economy.  It's time to break up the monopolies.  Bitcoin, or cryptocurrency, seems to be a rather dodgy tool to achieve decentralization.  But...

Mapping Ukraine's Surprise Invasion of Russia

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  15 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  4 months ago

“Ukraine has captured dozens of Russian settlements, adding a new twist to a war that had largely settled into grueling fighting in eastern Ukraine.”

Ukraine has gambled and lost.  Ukraine's counter-invasion into Russia's Kursk Oblast was a valid tactic to draw Russian troops away from the front lines in Ukraine.  Unfortunately Russia hasn't take the bait.  So, now the Ukrainian counter-invasion becomes an albatross that cannot be discarded...

Social media calls out Tim Walz coaching history after former players take center stage at DNC

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  13 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  4 months ago

“Walz served as an assistant coach during Mankato West High's state championship run”

Rick Sutton was actually the head coach that turned an 0-27 team into state champions.  In typical grifting style, Tim Walz is stealing more valor. It would've been a lot more impressive if Tim Walz had been a hockey coach.   Go, Wild!

“The Labor Department issued revised figures for the 12 months through March that point to greater economic fragility.”

Bidenomics hasn't really been working after all.  So, now the Dem-o-ratz are doing a little CYA.

Tim Walz has described his family’s IVF experience. But they used a different procedure

“Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president, is facing fresh scrutiny for how he's described his family's struggle with...”

Alabama courts did not halt IVF treatments.  That claim is a flagrant lie that isn't even told well.  The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that embryos created as part of the IVF procedure are children.  The immediate result was opening the door for civil suits against IVF providers over destruction...

Tim Walz Attacked For Calling Rural Areas 'Mostly Rocks And Cows'—What He Really Said

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  12 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  4 months ago

“The 2017 statement has dogged Walz throughout his career as Minnesota governor.”

Tim Walz didn't really say what he actually said.  Or, maybe, Tim Walz didn't really mean what he meant to say.  Or, was it that Tim Walz accidentally revealed his smug Democrat elitism.   Tim Walz ain't a good ol' boy from the country. 

Minnesota GOP leader sounds alarm on Walz trying to 'bamboozle' rural voters: 'Bernie Sanders in flannel'

“A Republican chairman in rural Minnesota told Fox News Digital that Gov. Tim Walz is trying to "bamboozle" voters by framing himself as a moderate...”

Bernie Sanders in flannel.  Great line and it hits the mark. (Disclosure for the peanut gallery:  I supported Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election.  The nomination of Clinton convinced me it was time to wave goodbye to the Democratic Party.  It's not worth it trying to...

Is Kamala Harris a 'failed border czar' as Trump says?

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  1 Comments  •  1 Like  •  4 months ago

“Critics call the vice-president a "failed border tsar" - but supporters say that was not her mission.”

If Kamala Harris wasn't the border czar then exactly what was her role?  Was Harris only Biden's liaison to corrupt governments in Central America?  Wasn't that Hunter Biden's role? Kamala Harris' supporters claim she should get credit for encouraging investment in the region.  That was a good...
