Nikki Haley Announces She Is Running For Vice President

-

     Nikki Haley, former Governor of South Carolina and former Ambassador to the United Nations announced she's running for vice president.  She actually announced that she was running for president as a Republican, but as we all know the only potential contender for President Trump is Governor DeSantis of Florida.  Assuming Trump gets the nomination for the Republican Party, everyone else that will run against him is just trying to get selected as his vice president.

     And why not Nikki Haley?  Trump already picked her once to be the US ambassador to the United Nations during his first term in office, and our political system demands that there are multiple people that run, we can't just give the nomination to Trump, and unless we change the laws to allow president for life, the Republicans do have to figure out some future after Trump, even if he is elected to a second term.

     Trump already announced that he was running for his second term back in November of 2022, so Nikki Haley is just one of many potential non-serious competitors.  In fact, the only thing she can point out about herself that is different from all of the Republicans that will run for president in 2024 is that she is a younger generation than Trump and Biden, and she has suggested that everyone over the age of 75 take a mental competency test.  Not that in any other year she would not be a good candidate, but against Trump she's only a candidate for vice president.

     In my blog post in January The MAGA Republican Party I detailed how Trump took over the Republican party in only 6 years by targeting Republicans that opposed him in the primaries, and that this House of Representatives is the first MAGA Republican-controlled House in history, so Trump is essentially running the House of Representatives. 

     And in Trump's four years in office he was able to stack the Supreme Court with so many middle-aged conservatives that the Supreme Court will be conservative for decades to come.  With the help of the Senate he also effectively filled judge vacancies at every level of the United States, bringing the famously liberal 9th circuit close to evenly split between liberals and conservatives.  And despite the mainstream media making fun of Trump for saying that the judges that he would appoint to the Supreme Court would, "automatically," overturn Roe v Wade, it happened, just like he said, so Trump is essentially running the Supreme Court as well.

     Welcome to MAGA country.

How SCOTUS Could End Birthright Citizenship

-
In 1832 US Army Surgeon John Emerson bought the slave Dred Scott from Peter Blow to be his manservant, then traveled into a free state and then free territories for years. He bought a wife for Dred then Emerson died in Iowa Territory in 1843 and Emerson’s wife Irene inherited Scott and his wife Harriet. After trying to purchase their freedom from Irene Emerson and failing, Irene remarried and her brother John Sanford inherited Dred and Harriet. When they were in Missouri in 1846 Dred and Harriet sued for their freedoms on the grounds that they had resided in free states for years and won their case, then it was appealed and they lost both of their appeals at the state and at the US Supreme Court, where for the first time a style of jurisprudence called Originalism was popular on the Court. Essentially, they only cared about what the original writers would have meant when they wrote the Constitution and what was in the Constitution, and in 1857 decided in Dred Scott vs Sandford (the SCO...

Coding Your Way To Orbit How Musk Dominated Spaceflight

-
In 1984 when Elon Musk was just 12 years old he created a video game called "Blastar," and sold the code for the game to PC and Office Technology magazine for $500. In 1995, Elon Musk along with his brother Kimbal Musk and Greg Kouri co-founded Zip2 which provided online city guide software to newspapers, offering maps, directions, and business directories. Elon did the coding, Kimbal focused on sales, and Greg Couri was an Angel investor. Four years later in 1999 Compaq acquired Zip2 for $307 million in cash and Elon Musk's share of the sale resulted in him receiving $22 million which he used to found X.com, an online financial services and e-mail payment company where again Musk was the main or only coder. X.com later merged with Confinity, which had a money-transfer service called PayPal and the merged company adopted that name. At PayPay he tried to influence the coding and the software but was removed from being CEO for it and all of his code from X.com was deleted, ...

The MAGA Republican Party

-
     This week from Tuesday January 3rd through Saturday January 7th 2023, the House of Representatives held 15 votes to elect a speaker of the House, and the result was that Kevin McCarthy is the next speaker of the House of Representatives, but what seemed to slip through the cracks of all media sources including Fox News is that this is the very first MAGA Republican Party controlled House of Representatives, and that as of 2022, President Trump has officially taken over the Republican Party. As the official and now undisputed leader of the Republican Party, what does this mean for America?      When President Trump was a real estate developer he got rich through a particular form of capitalism, people like to say that he is a crook, he is not a crook, everything he does is within the law, or at least a reasonable interpretation of the law according to lawyers that he has consulted. President Trump declared bankruptcy seven times in his life, most peop...
