[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Nikki Haley, the 51-year-old former governor for South Carolina, blundered her way through the question at town hall debate in Berlin, New Hampshire, on Wednesday night.

This is her "good people on both sides moment." That was out of context bullshit to get Trump but even with the media backing her the way they backed "Maverick" McCain, she's done.

In 1860 what would be the 13th Amendment could not have passed. It was passed in 1865. Something fundamental happened in between. Nuff said. Everything else is rationalization.
#4
/\ Or a 'politically correct' cover for action.
Google - What states did the Emancipation Proclamation apply to?
The ten affected states were individually named in the final Emancipation Proclamation (South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina). Not included were the Union slave states of Maryland, Delaware, Missouri and Kentucky.
The states as underlined above did NOT succeed from the Union, as was permitted by the constitution. Causation issue solved.

Lincoln took an act of a union general who stipulated that as 'property', slaves were contraband utilized in the economy of the rebellion and thus could be seized, and under federal control. Since the exempted states were not in rebellion such seizing could not be justified.
The 36th United States Congress proposed the Corwin Amendment on March 2, 1861, before the outbreak of the American Civil War, with the intent of preventing that war and preserving the Union.
The Corwin Amendment was clear. "No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State."

If one reads through "The Declaration of Causes of Seceding States" for Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia, slavery is noted only as it pertains to 'States Rights'.

Less many forget there were 4 Northern (UNION) States that allowed Slavery:
Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri.
An many other Northern State (UNION) legally recognized the right of ownership even long before the war.
PLUS
The Slavery issue was not raised as a war cause by the UNION until January 1, 1863, with the Emancipation Proclamation, and the war started on April 12, 1861.

succeed it's SECEEDE. There were many causes for the Civil War. When an adviser told Lincoln that maybe they should let the south go he said "Let the south go! My God man who would pay our tariffs?" A big part was about money.

^ Yes, following the money. Isn't that pretty much a common denominator ?

Nikki ended up defending a college thesis in a town hall. She failed spectacularly. Nuance is not for town halls and political rallies. Her campaign was failing, but she is now no longer viable for 2028. The kid who called her John Kerry made a simple statement that crystallized the opinions of a large group of people. He has a brighter political future than she does.

The Southern states of the US, including Haley's home state of South Carolina, were pro-slavery, while Northern states were anti-slavery
Daily Mail everyone.
There was plenty of support for a servant caste in 'The North'. Still is.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Mexican and U.S. officials agreed to keep border crossings open, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador
...AMLO for short...
said on Thursday, following a visit by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken that focused on securing Mexico's help to stem record-high migration.
The United States earlier this month temporarily shuttered several crossings, including two key rail bridges, to redeploy enforcement resources elsewhere across the border amid soaring migrant numbers, a pivotal issue in next year's U.S. elections.
'This agreement has been reached, the rail crossings and the boarder bridges are already being opened to normalize the situation,' Lopez Obrador told a morning press conference.
'Every day there is more movement on the border bridges.'
The closures were seen as a way for the U.S. to put pressure on Mexico to do more to stop migrants hopping freight cars, buses and trucks to the border.
[Breitbart] Lopez Obrador urged U.S. lawmakers to invest more to help the poor in Latin America and the Caribbean 'instead of putting up barriers, barbed wire fences in the river, or thinking about building walls.' Because it worked so well for Puerto Rico.
Mexico’s president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, hinted to a U.S. delegation that he will reduce migration to the United States if liberal President Joe Biden gives more aid and support to Latin American dictators.
Instead of blocking migration, “it is more efficient and more humane to invest in the development of the people,” Mexico’s president Andrés Manuel López Obrador said before the Wednesday meeting.
“The migration issue is going to intensify” in 2024, he added.
“Mexico has the upper hand this time around,” said a tweet from Auden Cabello, a Mexico-based journalist who covered the December 27 meeting between Biden’s deputies and Obrador, often called “AMLO.” Cabello continued:
AMLO knows US elections are around the corner and immigration is a top issue. US is desperate for Mexico’s help to stem the [migrant] flow. AMLO will capitalize by asking for more [aid] funding, and ask the US to invest in root causes (Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua) instead of walls.
All three countries — Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua — are run by left-wing dictators who are already exporting their people to work in the United States.
Each month, Biden’s progressive deputies already welcome roughly 22,000 workers from the three dictatorships, who then help the dictators by sending remittances home from their low-wage U.S. jobs. The remittances also fund and motivate additional migration into the United States.
In 2023, Biden and his pro-migration deputies admitted roughly four million illegal migrants across the southern border and deported only about 500,000.
The vast illegal inflow welcomed from Mexico is in addition to the legal immigration of roughly one million migrants, the inflow of roughly one million legal visa workers, and the rising number of people who overstay their legal visas. The total inflow in 2023 added up to roughly 5.5 million people — or roughly three migrants for every two American births.
[CNN] Maine’s top election official has removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 primary ballot, in a shock decision based on the 14th Amendment’s "insurrectionist ban."
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows paused her decision pending a potential appeal in state court, which Trump’s team said they intend to file.
The decision makes Maine the second state to disqualify Trump from office, after the Colorado Supreme Court handed down its own stunning ruling that removed him from the ballot earlier this month. The development is a significant victory for Trump’s critics, who, citing the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, say they’re trying to enforce a constitutional provision that was designed to protect the country from anti-democratic insurrectionists.
after presiding over an administrative hearing earlier this month about Trump’s eligibility for office. A bipartisan group of former state lawmakers filed the challenge against Trump.
"I do not reach this conclusion lightly," Bellows wrote. "Democracy is sacred ... I am mindful that no Secretary of State has ever deprived a presidential candidate of ballot access based on Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment. I am also mindful, however, that no presidential candidate has ever before engaged in insurrection."
Ratified after the Civil War, the 14th Amendment says American officials who "engage in" insurrection can’t hold future office. But the provision is vague and doesn’t say how the ban should be enforced.
Most legal experts believe the US Supreme Court will settle the issue for the entire country.
QUESTION:
How can Trump be charged with insurrection against the US government? Given he was the head of the US Government and calling for a Fair and Honest Vote investigation Count?
QUESTION:
So, having OPENLY violated basic legal and constitutional supported rights of a person. Will all Secretary of State's conducting this Political Faust be impeached?
An, should they be charged with:
18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Supporting Rebellion, or insurrection,
-
18 U.S. Code § 241 - Conspiracy against rights using the color of Law?
Either way, it looks like Democrats only practice "Innocent until PROVEN guilty" if the persons' innocence serves their political party agenda.

I think SCOTUS is looking for any way to avoid having to decide this; hoping for procedural delays to string out long enough for a decision to be moot.
#9
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows paused her decision pending a potential appeal in state court
Wait a sec! Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows stayed her own ruling? Not a lawyer, but this sounds like Trump is not off the ballot yet. At least not off off.
Looking at a pic of Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, my very first thought was Daddy Issues.
#10
Bellows is appointed not elected. Even Collins has condemned this overreach. It is not going to stand. Next they will try to have the ballot printer refuse to include Trump. They think they are on a diving board but they are walking the plank.
Someone has guaranteed future compensation to Bellows or has strongly implied it. She better have it in writing because blowback is coming with all the velocity and stench of a projectile vomit stream.

SteveS, the Colorado Supreme Court did the same. They stayed their own decision. They believe it will be overturned on appeal. The same thing is going on here.

The decision makes Maine the second state to disqualify Trump from office
Awkshually, CNN, it is zero states. Colorado decision and this one, I presume, are null while being challenged.
I like how she immediately confirms she does not have the authority to do such a thing.

Reparations (on top of over a trillion dollars spent on Great Society programs since the '60s) are not going to change what is cultural in nature. History shows the spilling of a lot of blood does.

#4 more cultural. Urban utes far more so than rural ones from my observation. Some meme out there shows that if you eliminate 5 cities from the body count, America moves to like 187 out of 198 in gun deaths (excluding wars).
