And Hits Just Keep Coming

The establishment Dems are starting to run scared because the Left has come calling…..and winning….

This time the Left won in Colorado…..

Democratic socialist Melat Kiros beat US Rep. Diana DeGette in a Colorado House primary Tuesday, a stunning victory for the first-time candidate against a nearly 30-year incumbent and another win for progressive challengers across the country, the AP reports. Kiros, a 29-year-old lawyer turned doctoral student, is the latest candidate to rise from the party’s left flank and boot establishment-backed candidates. That includes two self-described democratic socialists and a progressive who won their Democratic primaries in New York last week. Kiros’ victory adds to a nascent but clear uprising, stirred by frustration among some voters, that has vexed party leadership. Colorado’s 1st Congressional District covers the dark blue city of Denver, and Kiros is expected to win in November and reach Congress in January.

We are winning from coast to coast,” Kiros said to an ecstatic audience and the blast of air horns. “We are taking back our party and our country!” There were mixed results for progressives in Tuesday’s other races. Sen. John Hickenlooper fended off a primary challenge from self-fashioned “insurgent progressive” state Sen. Julie Gonzales. And a smaller divide separated the two Democrats competing for US House in the state’s lone swing district, where the candidate considered more progressive, state Rep. Manny Rutinel, won. Phil Weiser, the state attorney general, won the Democratic gubernatorial primary Tuesday and will be favored to win come November. Term-limited Democratic Gov. Jared Polis will depart after two-terms governing with a more moderate touch, at times stymieing progressive state lawmakers.

So far this is looking up for 2026…..finally some progressives and hopefully they can get stuff done or at least become a major thorn in Donny’s ass.

Chipping The 2nd

I WOULD LIKE TO WISH MY CANADIAN FOLLOWERS A VERY HAPPY CANADA DAY.

SCOTUS seems to be the theme or the meme for today…..they will be ruling on the law against AR-15s….a good law in my opinion…..

The Supreme Court is stepping directly into the fight over bans on AR-15-style rifles. On Tuesday, the justices agreed to hear challenges to assault-style weapons restrictions in Connecticut and Cook County, Illinois, setting up a major Second Amendment clash in the term that begins in October, NBC News reports. Both laws bar certain semiautomatic rifles that gun-control advocates label “assault weapons,” including AR-15s, which have been used in mass shootings such as the 2012 attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School and the 2022 Uvalde school massacre. Connecticut expanded its ban after 20 children and six adults were killed in the Sandy Hook mass shooting.

The court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, has recently broadened gun rights, including a 2022 decision that the Second Amendment protects the right to carry guns outside the home. Last week, the court struck down a Hawaii gun law. When the justices declined to hear a similar case last year, four conservatives signaled they view AR-15 bans as unconstitutional; Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote that the court “should and presumably will address the AR-15 issue soon.”

Under longstanding precedent, bans of “dangerous” or “unusual” weapons are allowed, but gun rights advocates say that as “the most popular rifle in the country,” AR-15-style rifles shouldn’t be considered unusual, Politico reports. At least 10 states have banned “assault weapons,” arguing that they don’t qualify as “arms” protected by the Second Amendment, per the Hill. Challenges to the Connecticut and Cook County laws were brought by individual gun owners and gun-rights groups including the Firearms Policy Coalition and the Second Amendment Foundation. Lower courts have so far upheld both bans.

I look for SCOTUS to strike down the law for they have not been a friend to the people but rather the gun industry….it has a lot more money to give than joe blow.

Do not get me wrong….I have no problem with gun ownership just that of assault weapons and such….no one needs that for hunting or personal protection….if they are that bad of a shot then get a shotgun the coverage is better.

Do you think SCOTUS will do the right thing?

If At First…

Yesterday SCOTUS handed another defeat to Donny’s push to rid this country of brown skin people….and after the ruling I said it would not end there….and I was right…..

President Trump isn’t dropping his fight over birthright citizenship, even after the Supreme Court ruled against him. In a social media post, Trump called the decision “too bad for our Country” and urged Congress to start work immediately on a legislative workaround, reports the New York Times. “No long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary!” he wrote. In its ruling Tuesday, the court overturned a Trump executive order that sought to end the policy of bestowing citizenship on children born on American soil. The order violates the 14th Amendment, declared the 6-3 ruling authored by Chief Justice John Roberts.

  • Kavanaugh dissent: Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh joined the majority, along with the court’s three liberal justices. Kavanaugh, however, dissented from the majority ruling by disagreeing that the order violated the Constitution, per the Washington Post. He agreed it violated federal law, though.
  • Thomas vents: Clarence Thomas was in the “no” camp with Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, and Thomas wrote a dissenting opinion joined by Gorsuch. “The Court adds to the sad history of the Fourteenth Amendment, which was designed and understood to secure equal rights for the freed blacks but has instead been repurposed for political projects that the Reconstruction Congress did not support,” Thomas wrote.
  • Alito, too: “This is one of the most important decisions in the history of the Court, and in my judgment, the Court has made a serious mistake,” Alito wrote. “As interpreted by the Court today, the Fourteenth Amendment confers citizenship on virtually everyone who happens to be born in this country, including the children of ‘birth tourists.'” But a “careful analysis” of the amendment shows it does not do that, he asserted. (The full text of the 1868 amendment is here.)
  • Birth tourism: As alluded to by Alito, supporters of Trump’s executive order argued that the existing policy encourages “birth tourism,” in which pregnant women come to the US for the express purpose of giving birth. “The trouble is that there is scant evidence for this dramatically revisionist view,” wrote Roberts, per the Wall Street Journal.

Birth tourism?  Sounds a lot like the crap that use to be spread about women who got pregnant so they could collect welfare…that was bullshit and this subject is too.

This is just hatred of people with brown skin….they can put all the cheap lipstick on that pig but it will not change the bigotry.
