This is just too damned funny.  You cannot make this stuff up.  New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is campaigning in Miami with a bunch of SEIU (Service Employee International Union) workers.  (Video Below)
And somehow, the doofus from New York thinks it would be a good thing at the Miami International Airport to cheer:  “Hasta la victoria, siempre“.  A very famous rallying cry from communist leader Che Guevara as he led the murder of thousands of Latinos.

Many Latinos in Miami-Dade fled from various communist regimes in Cuba and Central America; and many Miami residents actually have relatives who were killed by Guevara’s political terror teams.
For Latinos to hear a New Yorker shout “Hasta la victoria, siempre” generates an autonomic response that is seriously angry.   If you don’t know the community, you just cannot overemphasize how big a bone-headed deal that is.
Yes, the New York limo-liberal crowd and the Antifa loons loves them some Che Guevara.  However, in the vast majority of the real Latino communities, ESPECIALLY Miami-Dade, even mentioning that name is likely to trigger someone to kick your ass. [Not kidding]
Apparently, after a few hours, someone told Bill deBlasio how stupid that was; and the doofus sends out a tweet saying he didn’t know.   Which, is strangely, even funnier.

The legacy of Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is a legacy of abject shame. Today the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to send the issue of a citizenship question on the 2020 Census back to the Commerce Department.   The justices did not decide the question was unconstitutional, quite the opposite, they indicated the question was entirely up to the Dept. of Commerce, but disputed the motive behind the Commerce dept. position.

The court holds that addition of question about citizenship to 2020 census does not violate Constitution’s enumerations clause or the Census Act, but that district court was warranted in remanding case to Department of Commerce to provide a non-pretextual explanation for adding the question.
The majority of the Court, with Roberts concurring, punted the issue back to Commerce by noting esoteric concerns about the motives behind the administrative procedure for adding the question.  In essence, Secretary Wilbur Ross can add the question, but his current motive for adding the question was rebuked.  Yes, this is ridiculous.  Hence, the punt.
Here’s the SCOTUS Ruling:

Oh, he’s done it again… President Trump spotlights the truth that everyone prefers to  avoid discussing: “Are the Drug Lords, Cartels & Coyotes really running Mexico?”

Everyone knows the truthful answer to that question is a resounding YES, Mexico is a narco-state controlled by drug cartels and political system of bribes and payoffs therein.
The most recent evidence was in testimony within the El Chapo Guzman trial, where witnesses testified to paying-off government officials, including the former President of Mexico:

Reuters – Accused Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman once paid a $100 million bribe to former Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, a former associate testified on Tuesday that he previously told U.S. authorities. (link)

So again, the premier Gordian-knot cutter known as President Donald Trump, dispatches with obtuse dialogue concerned about delicate sensibilities, and he gets right to the truthful nub of the matter.  What makes Trump’s direct-speak so powerful is the brutal honesty of it.

Political “space to destroy” leadership, particularly mayors in Baltimore Maryland, have an inherent disposition toward transparently corrupt behavior.  Remember Sheila Dixon in ’08, or Stephanie Rawlings Blake in ’15… It’s a perpetual cycle. I digress…
Into the recent corrupt landscape comes current Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh, who takes bribes and graft through a pay-to-play bribery scandal for books she “authored” called “Healthy Holly”.  Want a city contract?…. buy some books, easy peasy.

(Baltimore) Hauling out boxes of “Healthy Holly” books and documents, dozens of federal law enforcement agents Thursday struck businesses, homes and government buildings across Baltimore as an investigation into Mayor Catherine Pugh’s business dealings widened.
FBI agents and IRS officials executed search warrants at her City Hall office, Pugh’s two houses, and offices of the mayor’s allies, as the growing scandal consumed the city’s attention, generated national headlines and provoked fresh calls for the embattled Democratic mayor’s resignation.

Well, he called them out. President Trump knew if he supported a program to resettle illegal aliens in sanctuary cities, the hypocrisy of the left would come out… and boy was he right.
The champion for Hollywood’s far-left resistance movement, actress and singer Cher, jumps into action and sends the ultimate NIMBY (not in my back yard) message:

This is infuriating…. Emmanuel Deshawn Aranda is charged with attempted homicide after throwing a random five-year-old boy from the third level of the Mall of America.  How does Reuters present the story:

(Reuters Tweet – Story)

The Minnesota Mall of America is well known for danger and violence due to its proximity to a large Muslim population near Minneapolis.  However, it is not politically correct to talk about it openly…. thus Reuters pulls out the cultural Marxist headline transcriber.  Ridiculous.

Political events in Canada are revealing new levels of leftist collectivism.  The fallout from the SNC-Lavalin bribery/corruption scandal continues to expose just how far the modern left will go in order to demand absolute compliance and protect their political interests.

[Backstory Here – and Here – and Here – and Here]

Yesterday Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau banished former Ministers Jody Wilson-Raybould (statement here) and Jane Philpott (statement here) from the Liberal Caucus, for non-compliant behavior. Both women exposed how Trudeau demanded the Attorney General drop a criminal prosecution to serve his political interests.
Today Ms. Raybould and Ms. Philpott responded to the heavy handed tactics during a press conference.  The former Attorney General stated: “I knew something very dangerous and wrong was going to happen.”  Canada is FUBAR.

Well this is buckets of interesting.  Last year CTH anticipated Bloomberg would be one of the Club insiders positioned to take lead in the 2020 Club primary.  However, as time progressed Club board members seemed to shift Bloomberg aside in favor of Joe Biden. A proactive Rupert Murdoch hired Biden’s former chief-of-staff in preparation.
Unfortunately for the Club’s board, Biden is failing to launch.  The free range Moonbat coalition, aka the unsuspecting astroturf, are turning out to be more challenging to herd than the board anticipated. Their plot against installing Biden may succeed. This opens the club to reconsider Bloomberg’s prior presentation….

New York – Mike Bloomberg may still consider a run for the White House — particularly if touchy-feely Joe Biden decides to stay out of the race, according to a report.

Very interesting Club dynamics playing out as the progressive caucus attempts to block entry of the Chosen One.  The fanclub media are having to pick sides, and currently the Occasional-Cortex clique are winning the schoolyard argument… {{lottsa popcorn}}
Forced into an unfamiliar squabble, Furrowed Brow takes the uncomfortable role of Monitor, as Lucy outlines Joe’s creepy behavior.  “He touched me” Lucy says, as Furrowed Brow listens intently; yearning internally for someone, anyone, to rescue him from this… this… new progressiveness.
No-one has ever organized the playground prefects to challenge Joe’s senior stewardship over the monkey-bars.  So many new things to consider… So well organized… Quick, pour Grandma Pelosi a drink!
