Kamala Harris will never be president. I’m not saying she won’t run; but if she does, she won’t be elected. The 2024 election proved it. Sure, she was dealt a tough hand to play, and played it better than anyone had a right to expect. She was a last-minute nominee, saddled with Bid[...]

Is birthright citizenship at risk?
First came Dred Scott v. Sanford, the 1857 Supreme Court decision ruling that African-Americans weren’t citizens and had no constitutional rights. After the Civil War, Congress enacted the 14th Amendment to supersede the Dred Scott ruling and make the newly-freed slaves citizens. It declared t[...]
Can a mayor throw a president in jail?
Actually, the question is whether a president can throw a mayor in jail; I pulled a bait-and-switch on readers. Tom Homan, Trump’s deportation czar, threatened to jail Denver’s mayor for threatening to use city police to stop migrant deportations. The mayor later retreated from that post[...]

Cops rounding up immigrants, what could go wrong?
Practice tips: (1) You need a search warrant to enter someone’s home (4th Amendment), (2) they don’t have to answer questions (5th Amendment), and (3) American Samoans aren’t immigrants (read details here). Return to The-Ave.US Home Page[...]
Harris is saying all the right things
Kamala Harris’s 2020 campaign fell flat, and political observers criticized her campaigning as inept. She apparently learned from her mistakes, because four years later she’s grown as a campaigner. She ate Trump’s lunch in their debate, she’s campaigned on issues that resonat[...]

The tides of political change
Tides flow and ebb, and so does America’s political center. From 1980 to 2005, the progressive left “was mostly irrelevant to national politics,” a Vox article says (here). “The Cold War was over, and capitalism reigned ascendant.” The parties shifted — the GOP to[...]
Are mass deportations feasible?
Sure they are, our government could do that if a political administration is committed and organized enough, and invests enough taxpayer resources. During World War 2, the U.S. rounded up and imprisoned 120,000 Japanese-Americans, two-thirds of whom were American-born citizens. This violated their c[...]
George Floyd protests weren’t riots and didn’t kill 15,000 black men
A Republican liar claims “the post-George Floyd riots resulted in excess of over 15,000 black male deaths in this country.” It’s not remotely true. Ryan Gidursky, a rightwing activist (see his website here), made that assertion on a CNN talk show on Tuesday, October 15, 2024 (read stor[...]
