Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

It true, it's very good news that college enrollment is declining. The world needs less useless degrees and more people that can do something useful; and no education is preferable to mis- or dis-education.

Wow! NCAN manages to blame the DoE and FAFSA bugs instead of Whitey and the Orange Man. Apparently it's outside their worldview that perhaps "the dogs just don't like the dog food."

QUOTE:
Birthright Citizenship Is a Breach in the Border ... Pointing to the statute's language, they argued that "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" meant, among other things, "not subject to any foreign power."

Migrants to the US are not subject to a foreign power but are under the jurisdiction of the US. Unlike a diplomat, if they commit a crime in the US, they will be subject to US law, not the law of their country of origin. (Indian communities were originally excluded, because they were quasi-sovereign entities enforcing their own laws.)

A foreign tourist to the US is also subject to US law. Neither an illegal nor a tourist are citizens. And Indian communities were not made citizens of the US. Negros were made citizens by AMENDMENT. Congress passing a law giving Indians citizenship is NOT constitutional but also requires an AMENDMENT. The citizenship discussion denied the same citizenship to Indians that was granted to Negros.

Glenn Reynolds asks why the woke is going away.... primarily because it is not going to be tolerated or subsidized by the admin state political class and the corporate class will be punished.
