Quote of the Day
The House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted in favor of a resolution condemning socialism Friday morning, with several Democrats crossing the aisle to rebuke “socialist policies” in the U.S. following Zohran Mamdani’s recent election as the mayor-elect of New York City.
Eighty-six Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure in a 285-98 vote. Two members, Rep. Deborah Ross, D-Pa., and Rep. Janelle Bynum, D-Ore., voted present.
Notably, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y. — who endorsed Mamdani just days before the mayoral election — also voted in favor of the measure.
The resolution, introduced by Rep. Maria Salazar, R-Fla., highlights a list of the economic system’s failures and serves as a rebuke of political forces inching toward more socialist platforms. Among other items, it asserts that socialism has led to famine and mass murder under the Cuban Castro regime, the Chinese rule of Mao Zedong, the ongoing Venezuelan regime of Nicolás Maduro and others.
“Resolved by the House of Representatives that Congress denounces socialism in all its forms and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States,” the text reads.

86 Dems vote with Republicans to condemn socialism in wake of Mamdani’s mayoral victory
Give me a break. Don’t urinate on head and tell me it is raining. Probably 90% or more of those congressmen are eager to continue existing, and create new, socialist policies.
Ask them about “Social Security”, Medicare, Medicaid, “Food Stamps”, Public Education, Unemployment Insurance, Farm Bill Subsidies, FEMA, WIC, Progressive Federal Income Tax, Public Housing Assistance, and Federal Student Aid. This vote was about weathervanes aligning with the wind. It had nothing to do with political philosophy and/or principles (other than getting reelected).
This reinforces my assertion that all politicians should be regarded as criminal suspects, continually investigated, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. It should be a fourth branch of government, given generous funding, and constitutionally require congressional hearings if the guillotine in the plaza hasn’t been used in the previous five years.

there…fixed it for ya…
Fair enough.
The Tenth Amendment needs an enabling act.
How do the states prohibit a power to the federal government? How do the People further reserve a power to themselves and deny it to the Feds or the states?
16 states are enough to block an amendment. That should be enough to tell the feds, “Not enumerated, not yours. Yoink!” If the other 34 states want to enter into an interstate compact and collectively fund something, that’s on them and their taxpayers.
If only the states were directly represented somehow…
The US Senate could been that enabler if everything required a 2/3 majority.
