NY – Court Blocks Non-Citizens from Voting in Municipal Elections "New York City’s attempt to allow non-citizens to vote in municipal elections was recently terminated by the highest court in New York State. In a 6-1 decision, the high court stated that “the New York constitution as it stands today draws a firm line restricting voting to citizens.” Who cannot vote? Non-citizens, including permanent legal residents, cannot vote in federal, state, and most local elections. Some people who have a mental disability may not be able to vote. https://www.usa.gov/who-can-vote Congress Approves Civil Rights Act of 1957 An article from CQ Almanac 1957 "One of the notable features of the 1956 election was the movement of Negro votes into the Republican column. Republicans and northern Democrats alike interpreted the returns to mean that the Negro vote, safely Republican from Reconstruction days to 1928, and later, during the New Deal, overwhelmingly Democratic, currently could not be considered the exclusive property of either party. Rather, Negroes were weighing the performance of both parties, especially in the field of civil rights. Republican candidates scored heavily in the 1956 campaign by contrasting President Eisenhower's initiative in the civil rights field with the lack of performance by the Democratic-controlled 84th Congress." Interesting use of language. Still don't find anything that includes non-citizens being allowed to vote. Been this way in the US since the 1700's without challenge. The USofA belongs to US citizens only! IF you don't fight for it, you're fighting against it PERIOD! 🤠

The Olympics (like everyone else) should create a 3rd category where that 4% can compete. Pretty simple solution. It'll guarantee no cross gender competitions. Every female gets a Gyno exam and a check (blood work) for hormone treatments that NO REAL FEMALE would have had. Thought you all that support this BS would have learned by now that supporting the 4% over the 96% is a failure from the start. The only other way to be sure is to have everyone compete naked. (not really, don't get pervy on me)

Where's Bob, Sticky Riceballs or Jinthing when a "newbie" needs a hug?

Makes one wonder about your choice of an avatar depicting an American Indian in "White-face" because it projected power and strength. Some African tribes and the aborigines do that too. President Trump lives in today's world while looking ahead, but, a short trip back to the 1700's for some common sense in policing and eliminating bad actors. He may also be wondering if the right choices were made 80 yrs ago. Completely understandable considering. Makes one wonder what it would look like today if the USSR had been included in the formation of NATO.

Can some of the dems on here help get this ignoramus on the ticket in '28? 2 second search: Early life and education. Melanija Knavs was born in Novo Mesto, Yugoslavia, now part of present-day Slovenia, on April 26, 1970.

I have a few appointment slots open. Send them by. 🤠

You had to RSVP to an unsent invitation to attend - the "No Bags, Signs or Guns" was a nice touch. 🤠 Makes one wonder how much this is costing the DEMS to support. No apparent ticket cost, road crew, roadies (for the bands) working 2x 18hr shifts, etc. Was it funded by Soros? (the irony of that boggles the mind) And where does he stand ATM? On February 21, the Times published an interview with Sanders under the headline “Bernie Sanders Isn’t Giving Up His Fight.” In it, Sanders advised the Democrats to recognize that “the system is broken, period. And you can’t patch it up a little here and a little there.” Does he think the audience was going to be ok paying $2-4T more in taxes replacing what the "Oligarchs" usually cover? Ah Bernie, bless his heart. At least he gets to hug the congressional "hottie" on stage.

Until stories like this stop, I hereby decree UK poster opinions about the US shall be considered "Special People Posts".

This simple statement means a single judge is trying to stop the highest law enforcement in the country and the president from enforcing the law, AFTER he'd taken the junket to an "Anti-Trump" event in Idaho. The law says exhibiting "Good Behavior" during his time on the bench. He should be careful because there's also laws against sedition and treason and subversion.

Dude, you need to contact the DNC and see if you can be a "Spin Doctor" for the '28 Harris/AOC ticket. You really seem to believe that 49,8<48.3. Let's see if this helps: 49.8+48.3=98.1. That leaves 1.9 who voted for RFK (or other) even though he wasn't running. The electoral college was 226(H)42% and 312(T)58% = majority. https://www.archives.gov/electoral-college/2024 By state: 16(H) and 34(T) = majority https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/elections/2024 Are ya seeing a pattern here? Big number good (majority), small number bad. (minority)

As a refresher: The Soviet Union was composed of 15 constituent soviet socialist republics. Those were Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. Question is; How many of these countries has Russia attacked? Follow up question; How many European countries sent troops and arms to help? Those who picked Georgia have short memories: "The international reaction to Russia’s military campaign in Georgia was to prove remarkably muted, with Moscow suffering few negative consequences. On the contrary, EU leaders led calls for a ceasefire that appeared to favor Russian interests..." https://carnegieendowment.org/russia-eurasia/politika/2023/07/playing-with-fire-georgias-cautious-rapprochement-with-russia?lang=en Might be backing the wrong horse in this conflict. Interesting read.

Have a beer, do some bongs and relax. It's gonna be alright. https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/03/06/nato-5-percent-defense-spending-trump-russia-ukraine/ “To be honest, 2 percent is not nearly enough,” NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said in January. “To stay safe in the years to come, allies will need to spend considerably more.” His suggestion—a new minimum threshold of up to 3.7 percent—also came with a warning: “If you don’t do it, get your Russian-language courses or go to New Zealand.” Trump's Five Percent Doctrine and NATO Defense Spending "President Donald J. Trump is right to push US allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to do more for collective defense: The wolf is at the door in Ukraine." "The US has been the world’s largest defense spender since the 1940s, tallying $880 billion in military spending in 2023[1] (3.36 percent of GDP), roughly double what China and Russia spent combined. NATO spent $1.28 trillion on defense in 2023, or about 54 percent of the global total (in constant dollars). Had all NATO members spent 5 percent of GDP on defense in 2023, their expenditures would have surpassed actual total global defense spending" https://www.piie.com/blogs/realtime-economics/2025/trumps-five-percent-doctrine-and-nato-defense-spending Had NATO and the EU made this a priority back in 2017, Russia MAY not have went after Ukraine. Peace through strength, what a concept.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/19/charting-the-biden-economy-deeply-unpopular-despite-growth-and-jobs.html To the untrained eye, Joe Biden leaves the presidency with what appears to be a sterling economic record: hiring proceeding at a solid clip, gross domestic product on the rise and consumers still spending at a strong pace. There’s just one problem, and it is one that will forever taint Biden’s legacy, the one that sank him and his party politically and for which he will always be remembered. “Inflation was two-and-a-half times higher under President Biden than it was under President Trump. That essentially was the key catalyst for the return to Trump’s policy, which was one of very good growth and low and stable inflation.”

The French are planning ahead what with the newly unpurched stockpiles of wine and champagne and they know how much Russians love their caviar. You know, just in case.

you mean like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/194568838677 I'm pretty proud of this one: I also have about 1/6 of these, some with "clusters". I earned them but they stay in the drawer. https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/References/US-Navy-Uniforms/Uniform-Regulations/Navy-Awards-Precedence/

Yes, you do need a history lesson. Finland was invaded by the USSR or are you not old enough to remember them? On topic: When you "Rattle Your Sabers" sometimes the other guy just runs you through and moves on.

This is no time for hurt feelings and wet panties. This also isn't the time for a meeting to set up a committee who will launch a study that will be sent to "An Expert Annalist" to review and write an opinion....

Like the deportation of terrorists, gang members, illegals sucking on the taxpayer funded tit. Like ruling that our military MUST remain DEI instead of defending the country with prejudice. Like ordering the WH to restore waste, fraud and abuse by reopening USAID. (AND this is AFTER it was exposed) The "List Of Lost Causes" and just blatant defiance because the troughs are drying up. I'm sorry but I think ordering the US Government to continue the destruction of the country is wrong by any standards. These judges are causing more countries to be nervous than tariffs are. Waiting and watching to see where the power lies. In my opinion, No one but the SCOTUS should rule on anything coming from their counterparts. Curious that ALL of these so-called "Legal Challenges" are coming with an accompanying "audition" video of dem relevance and insult hurling practice.

I agree and disagree. For the past few decades we've only had 2-3 strong presidents. I include 45/47 as 1 of the strong ones BUT, as 45, he came in as purely a businessman and was attacked by a government machine "The likes nobody has ever seen before". If you completely remove emotion from the equation and do an analysis of the systematic attacks on "An Outsider" in the inter sanctum. Surprise FBI visits, a smear campaign that extended across 9 yrs labeling him as everything evil, vile and imaginary, but is now driving citizens to him. NONE of this is very calming to the world. I completely agree with the reciprocal tariffs push. Pretty much every current trade deal doesn't favor the US and as a businessman that's unacceptable. From my own personal experiences living in the states that a full tank of fuel costs about 20-ish% less than in 2024. Egg prices (blamed on President Trump) cost $7.98 in Jan 2025 and in just 2 months have dropped to $4.69. As for your closer: "The rest of the world will probably get along without the USA though sadly IMHO the USA won't be able to get along without the rest of the world." This is what President Trump wants but NOT for the nefarious reasons being bantered about. He wants to make money for America yes (kind of part of the job) but he wants peace and prosperity for the good, controls in place for the bad and total annihilation of the ugly. If the EU and NATO were capable of backing a strong play without waiver, we could eliminate the ugly in a yr. JMHO

He canceled it because it was being enforced worse that "Prohibition" was. Especially when Biden released them from sanctions. A couple of interesting reads if you care to.

waiting til the story unfolds. Europe better hang on to their butts.

So, the UK is bring electricity to people with nothing to plug in. Seems to be catching on. Good Job UK.

H3LL YEA! Back to the good 'ol days. President Trump carries as does Putin. Guess Zelensky can come and pound his D!@k on the table or try and borrow 1 when he gets there. 🤠
