VP Mike Pence overcomes Republican Jeff Flake alliance with Democrats to advance nomination of Thomas Farr to NC US District Court post vacant since 2005
The judgeship is just one of 136 current federal court vacancies. Authorized positions in 2018 are north of 860.
Senators typically veto nominees they don't like in their jurisdictions by returning a negative blue slip on the individual.
North Carolina is a playground for Supreme Court intervention in representation decisions involving race through the 1965 Voting Rights Act, making judicial appointments there radioactive. Both US Senators from North Carolina have been Republicans since 2014 when Tillis defeated Hagan. Burr was re-elected in 2016.
Barack Obama lets one go: "Suddenly America's like the biggest . . . gas, that was me, people"

Whooooooweeeeee, that one smells:
The blocked rule would not have affected most fracking operations in the United States, since it would have applied only to fracking on federal lands. The vast majority of fracking in the United States — almost 90 percent — is done on state and private land and is governed by state and local regulations. The rule was unlikely to have stopped most new fracking on public lands, although oil and gas companies complained that it could have slowed operations by creating burdensome paperwork.

I'm guessing the Broward County election results upset her stomach
Wilson allegedly pulled a small “lock back knife” from her purse, “opened the knife and told the victim she was going to ‘gut’ him,” the police report said.
While doing so, she pulled back her right hand with the knife as if she was going to attack the victim with it, the report read.
If you need an attorney in Tucson, Arizona, make sure you pick one who knows the difference between "in" and "out"
The readers are having none of attorney Frances Lynch's opinion at USA Today, or at her Twitter feed.
The images of the Berlin barbed wire are only in her head. Be careful that you don't cut yourself.

Ha ha, Jack Ma, member of the Chinese Communist Party since the 1980s
State-run Chinese media on Tuesday reported on a social media post from someone claiming to be a former classmate of Ma's, who said that they joined the Communist Party while in university.
"We all joined the party around the second or third year of university. Back then, joining the party meant not just that you were a good student, but also that you had integrity, organizational ability, enthusiasm and idealism," the post said, according to a translation that matched a screenshot of the post seen by CNBC.
When it comes to divide and conquer, libertarians are the easiest to defeat because they're already divided
Something something about hang together or hang separately.
Uighur woman named Mihrigul Tursun claims genocidal Chinese communists tortured her with electrocution
One day, Tursun recalled, she was led into a room and placed in a high chair, and her legs and arms were locked in place.
“The authorities put a helmet-like thing on my head, and each time I was electrocuted, my whole body would shake violently and I would feel the pain in my veins,” Tursun said in a statement read by a translator.
“I don’t remember the rest. White foam came out of my mouth, and I began to lose consciousness,” Tursun said. “The last word I heard them saying is that you being ... Uighur is a crime.”

China's richest man outed as Communist Party member after pre-mature resignation announcement
Like these are unrelated developments, or surprising after the rise of Xi Jinping Pooh.
No one makes Jack Ma kind of money in China without the blessing of the Communist Party. And no one stops making Jack Ma kind of money without the urging of the Communist Party.
People do very well indeed under "communism".
Jack Ma, the head of e-commerce giant Alibaba Group is a Communist Party member, the official Party newspaper said on Monday, debunking a public assumption the billionaire was politically unattached.
The People's Daily revealed Ma's Party membership in a list of 100 people it said had helped drive the country "reform and opening up" process. Ma is China's richest man with a fortune of $35.8 billion, according to Forbes.

Justin Raimondo knows Mexico is the real threat to America, but he's so against war he can't argue for it when he needs to
Forget the Russian ‘Threat’: Mexico Is Our Real Problem:
The cartels control our southern neighbor
[W]e hear
almost nothing about the one country where journalists who report on official
corruption are routinely killed, and in such numbers that the death toll makes
Russia look like a utopian paradise – Mexico, where more than one-hundred
reporters have been slaughtered by the drug cartels and their collaborators
inside the Mexican government. The killers are rarely found, let alone punished:
as of 2012, 98%
of homicides in Mexico went unsolved. ...
Some problems don’t have solutions, and this may be one of them. The accumulated
stupidity and venality of the Mexican and US authorities over past decades has
created such a toxic brew of social decomposition and political dysfunction
that we can only await the coming explosion with a mixture of fear and hope
– hope that our leaders will force their gaze away from the far horizons of
the Middle East and focus on the rising crisis right here on our own southern
border.
The number of doofusses taking Hillary's recent immigration comments seriously is truly astounding
It's self-evident that Hillary's "new" view about immigration is nothing more than immigration reform as a means to an end, namely the center-left's election to power in order to defeat populism and the right.
Her response to the situation of her defeat is completely in keeping with Marx, who viewed the embrace of the free-trade doctrine of unalloyed capitalism as an accelerant for The Revolution. The important thing is not that the left is wrong about "late stage capitalism". The important thing is that they are insincere about what they say they believe in common with us.
Yet everywhere I go otherwise sane people are talking shit about this. Ooh everyone's coming around to Trump's way of thinking, and so on.
Like Obama who lied about his own mother's health insurance in propounding Obamacare, Hillary will use anything and anyone to get where she wants to go.
Obviously what's needed isn't a Wall with Mexico, what's needed is a War
Take over the Central Plateau and then push them into the seas east and west.

Under my proposal Chief Justice John Roberts' appointment to the Supreme Court would have expired in 2017
Do you think Trump would have reappointed him to four more years?
