    Terror-Linked, Anti-Semitic Group Invited to White House

    …but I couldn’t stop laughing after reading the first sentence:

    “One of the last places you’d expect to find a radical Islamic group with an extensive history of terrorism is at the White House…”

    I don’t quite understand this, is he saying the House will decide if he’s eligible and if they decide he’s not then they will choose POTUS?

    http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-02-23/ted-cruz-asks-u-s-judge-to-reject-texas-birther-challenge

    Cruz’s lawyer said challenges to a candidate’s eligibility are premature during the primary-voting season and must wait until he’s actually elected president, when that question should be resolved by the electoral college and Congress, “not this court.”

    A court ruling on a candidate’s eligibility to serve before a national election “would inappropriately interfere with the electoral college’s constitutional authority to elect the president and to evaluate the qualifications of the candidates seeking that office,” Kruse said. If the electoral college finds the elected candidate is disqualified, the Constitution says Congress — specifically the House of Representatives — will choose the president.

      Based on what we’re seeing now, I don’t think Cruz will see the general election, much less the electoral college. Rubio should also be under scrutiny.

        I don’t think he will either, I just don’t understand his argument. In Chicago his argument was he wasn’t served and now his argument is that it’s settled law, but even if it isn’t the time to argue that is after he’s been elected and then let the House decide if he’s eligible and if not then they can elect a President.
        In my view it makes it sound as if he’s not so convinced it’s as settled as he says it his.

        I, for one want it to become settled law one way or the other in regards to both of them.

        I don’t know if it’s true or not but there is something I see a lot of people saying now that a Saudi prince was born to an American mother, so if Cruz is eligible he is eligible. Something like that scares me.
        We also all know we have thousands, possibly millions of “anchor babies” now.

        This needs to be addressed now, because chances are it will come up again.

    Morning, everybody! I went to bed early last night because I finally couldn’t hold out after staying up all night on Monday and all day on Tuesday.

    The caucus results were about as expected for Trump. The second place result is more interesting, don’t you thing? Beck is a poopy head and a sore loser. Eventually, he and a bunch of other sore losers will have to face reality, and I think that will be soon. I know my own state is solidly in the Trump camp.

    We are getting a significant winter storm today (5-8 inches of snow), but the temps are hovering around freezing, so I think the snow will be wet and heavy. It’s just starting now. We haven’t had much of wintery weather this year, so I guess I can’t complain (wouldn’t do any good, anyway).

    Stay safe, and have a great day!

    I hadn’t seen this story until last night. Snopes the nest of liberal apologists begrudgingly acknowledges that it is true but “outdated”. Amazing times.

          My son was on one of the Navy ships off the coast of Africa patrolling for pirates a few years ago. I wasn’t sure what he was doing, so I was very nervous about it. Their ship was involved in only a few attacks/rescues, but one was very dangerous. The other problem I worried about was that he was one of the two “rescue swimmers”. If anybody fell overboard or got into trouble in the water, they would (in my mind) toss him overboard to rescue them. Actually, they lowered him, they didn’t throw him 🙄 . And, the stories about swimming in the shark infested waters, while setting up a perimeter to ward off sharks 😯 put me over the edge. I had to avoid the news as much as I could while he was over there. {sigh}

    Now, I would like some input to what I have been thinking about. The BGI and the CGI. I don’t know if this makes any sense, but is there a (conservative grievance industry)? Are identity politics going both way? It is troubling me and will like any input. Just thinking about it and can’t get in edgewise in the traffic jam at CTH.

    Damn it’s some nasty, nasty weather in South Haven right now. Since 10 A.M., actually.

    Tripod is a happy, happy cat right now. Encased in quilts and knit blankets.

    The windows are whistling, and the snow is blowing horizontally, and Tripod knows it.

    Because I took him outside for about one minute, just to see.

    Ahhh Dunno. The President seems to declare, the war was never declared, but we lost, now we have to let go the POW’S who were not POW’s because the war we never declared, is over. Makes no sense to me.
