Hundreds Protest, Call For Resignation Of Puerto Rico Governor Rosselló



The fact that Puerto Rico had so many problems before Trump became President is something the liberal media doesn't like to mention or talk about. Now with this latest drama coming to light, we're reminded that P.R. is a haphazard onto itself.

Barack Obama Won’t Attend Justice Antonin Scalia’s Funeral


HotAir.com:
Unless the Scalia family asked him not to attend for some reason, which I’d guess is unlikely, what’s a good excuse to miss it? Biden will be there, as will various Supreme Court justices past and present, so security will be tight regardless. Says Chris Hayes, “Some amazing advice my mom gave me once: ‘If you’re wondering whether you should go to the funeral, you should go to the funeral.'”

Obama will pay his respects on Friday at the Supreme Court building, where Scalia will lie in repose.
When pressed for clarification on Obama missing the funeral, White House press secretary Josh Earnest repeated that “the president will pay his respects at the Supreme Court on Friday and he’ll be joined with the first lady when he does that.”
When asked whether Obama’s Saturday plans include golfing, Earnest stressed instead that the president believes it is important to honor Scalia’s life and service…
Four out of the past seven funerals for a Supreme Court justice has either had the president or vice president in attendance.
Former President George W. Bush attended the funeral for Chief Justice William Rehnquist.
He’s not going to golf while the rest of D.C. is saying farewell to Scalia. Right?
 
As noted in the excerpt, including the upcoming service on Saturday, the president or VP will have attended only four of the last seven funerals for a justice. What’s not noted, though, is that six of those seven had already retired to private life when they died. Of the previous six — Rehnquist, Burger, Brennan, Marshall, Blackmun, and Powell — only Rehnquist was a sitting justice when he passed, and Dubya made a point of attending his funeral. Scalia, of course, was also a sitting justice, but Obama won’t be there. How come? If he doesn’t respect the man, he could and should respect the office.
Wonder what the odds are on whether or not Barry would've attended...say Ruth Ginsburg's funeral, if she had passed away instead of Scalia? Again, who said this guy wasn't divisive?

Puerto Rico Has Defaulted


Townhall.com:
U.S. commonwealth Puerto Rico defaulted on its debt for the first time Monday, paying just $628,000 of its $58 million scheduled payment. Moody's "views this event as a default."
Puerto Rico has an outstanding debt of $72 billion.
Puerto Rico's Government Development Bank paid only $628,000 of the $58 million due creditors, the agency said. It said the decision "reflects the serious concerns about the Commonwealth's liquidity" and the need to ensure "essential services (residents) deserve are maintained."
Given the tiny payout, "Moody's views this event as a default," said Emily Raimes, vice president at the U.S. credit giant.
Puerto Rico's outstanding debt of $72 billion is far bigger than Detroit's $20 billion bankruptcy two years ago but a fraction of Greece's $350 billion in obligations. But unlike Detroit, there's no law allowing Puerto Rico to declare bankruptcy. And Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has said the federal government won't bail out the island, as institutions such as the International Monetary Fund rescued Greece.
Puerto Rico has seen its population plummet since the recession began, and despite attempts to raise sales taxes to raise revenue, the economy has not recovered. People born in Puerto Rico are U.S. citizens, although they do not pay federal income tax nor vote in presidential elections.
Funny, how Hispanic-Americans up in arms about protecting illegal immigrants, don't seem to mention or care about how Puerto Rico's been doing under Barry's watch.
