The Supreme Court restored former President Donald Trump to the Colorado primary ballot in a unanimous ruling, according to the Associated Press.

The court’s majority ruled that only Congress can enforce the Constitution’s ban on insurrectionists serving in federal office.

"[The] responsibility for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the States,” the court’s majority opinion said. "We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office."

The court ruled 9-0 that Colorado cannot remove Trump from the ballot, only five of the justices held that the only way to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is through Congressional action, court expert Steve Vladeck explained, while four of the justices would have stopped at barring a state from disqualifying a presidential candidate.

WeightWatchers shares plummeted nearly 25% Thursday after slimmed-down media mogul Oprah Winfrey announced she was leaving the diet company’s board to “eliminate any perceived conflict of interest around her taking weight-loss medications.”

Winfrey, who had admitted to using a weight-loss drug as a “maintenance tool” a few months ago, said she would donate her 1.4% stake in the company — – reportedly worth about $12 million — to the National Museum of African American History and Culture during the company’s open trading window next month.

The Republican-led Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic specifically wants to question Cuomo’s controversial March 25, 2020, state order that required nursing homes to take in COVID-19 positive patients if they were able to. The Associated Press reported a year later that, as a result, more than 9,000 COVID-19 patients were transferred into nursing homes between March and May 2020.

Two investigations by New York Attorney General Letitia James and Comptroller Tom DiNapoli found the Cuomo administration under-counted the number of nursing home residents who died in the early months of the pandemic. 

“This misguided decision effectively admitted thousands of COVID-19 positive patients into nursing homes, causing predictable but deadly consequences for New York’s most vulnerable,” 

With the death of 15,000 elderly,  no one was held accountable. It seems to me that some conspire to hide the facts.

HIMARS..

 

A Russian drone spotted the wheeled HIMARS and its trailing support vehicles next to a treeline in Nykanorivka, in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast around 25 miles from the front line.

A missile launched, hypersonic Iskander—struck near the HIMARS, setting ablaze the 17-ton launcher and apparently cooking off one of its 227-millimeter M30/31 rockets.

  The 27th Rocket Artillery Brigade, the Ukrainian army’s sole HIMARS unit, normally operates at dawn or dusk and keeps it vehicles moving and under cover when they’re not on a fire-mission.

In any event, it’s a hard loss for the Ukrainian army. It seems the combination of a far-flying reconnaissance drone and a fast-acting Iskander battery finally got the better of the Ukrainian 27th Brigade.

Comment: Who are we kidding here? Ukraine should stay neutral, the American should stop providing free lunch to establish NATO base in Ukraine, circling the Russians as they did before in the Sixties.    Just a thought.

Our climate plans are ambitious," Biden said. "But we are America. We are unwavering in our commitment to innovation."

On his first day in office last week, Biden had the United States re-enter the Paris accord. He also cancelled the permit for the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.  That was earlier with promises as he got into the office.

A year later, The U.S. has appealed to members of OPEC to step up production and exports to cover demand, including Saudi Arabia in particular. 

In other word, we need the Opec Countries, and the oil producers to dance the way Biden needs to keep the office. Hard to do. Just a thought.
