NEW: House Democrats have introduced a bill to give Puerto Rico statehood (H.R. 1522), which would give Democrats two more Senate seats and multiple House seats -Politico
If this bill passes the House and Senate it is done.
The democrats and their rino buttslaves are hell bent on destroying what reputation the US has left.
Then when their Chinese paymasters seize Taiwan by force and “vote” it into China, the Chicoms will point to PR as justification for their naked aggression.
This will be the start of the end of the whorehouse Congress has become.
Hell is too good for them.
Not just democrats pushing this. Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio, whose handler on K st, Cesar Conda said so... were all about anything Puerto Rico wants. Conda controls Liz Cheney too.

Conda tried to stop Rand Paul in Kentucky in 2010. (search his name and Rand). He was on an email with Bill Kristol etc. These guys are all connected and own Rubio and many others!
At this point it’s a done deal, so no sense arguing. Just don’t buy into tropes about Boricua being “deeply religious” (whatever that means these days). High levels of illegitimacy belie that trope. If PR and DC become states so be it, but don’t believe the LIARs in the statehood party who tell us pale faces on the mainland that they are “natural conservatives” when over half their party affiliates with the Democrats (including Pierluisi).
Yep. More than you’ll ever want to know about Conda on my blog
My mainland son is married to a Puerto Rican woman. They met while she was comleting college in our city and my son was a high school dropout with dyslexia. I did not have the impression she was particularly religious. They lived together several years while she finished college then moved to Miami as a compromise since she hated winter and I wanted to be able to drive to visit once a year, Eventually they got married and had a child. Then the economy blew up and they moved to PR where she had good contacts for employment. They had another child and their first is now in college, They are still happy together and live in faithfulness and love. My son has his own small construction business. They are not very religious, but they are loyal and self supporting, and their lives seem to encompass a fair number of conservative values and they have been together for more than 25 years. My son is actually the more laid back of the two. When he was in his teens and worried about his dyslexia, I told him not to worry, that with his personality he could find a good woman who would take care of the paper work for the family which is what happened.
The only two groups of people who seem to be “natural conservatives” re the descendants of Palatine Germans and Scots Irish on the mainland, but that’s a whole ‘nother discussion.
Best to your son and his wife. I know first hand how difficult it is to meet “the right person,” and we should all be blessed in such a way.
Thanks. Since my mothers parents were German immigrants, and his father had a fair bit of Scots, I guess my son has some of that going for him.
No, its turnout was 54%. They had previous referendums boycotted and receiving like 23% turnout, but over 50% turnout is legitimate under any country’s laws.
Puerto Rico’s vote is counted by Dominion machines.
In general, we also need to examine any military advantage with PR.
IF PR is admitted s the 51st State, the DIMocRATS may get a surprise.
The majority of Puerto Ricans are Roman Catholic & PRO-LIFE.
To tell everyone how NOBODY knows what a NEW State may do in voting, may I remind everyone that BEFORE HI & AK were admitted, HI was thought to become solidly GOP & AK was believed to become solidly DEM??
(Didn’t work out as “the experts” planned.)
Yours, ex-cadet
That $15/hr minimum wage will sure do a number on that State’s economy!
They own all 3 brancehs of government.. it looks like a done deal..except Puerto Rico has in the past voted against it.. They are not a dumb people ..they pay no federal taxes and get tons of Federal money
Schumer said no... calling the island corrupt.
Pot/kettle me thinks.
Did PR voted largely for Dems. historically?
Current governor of PR is a PNP member who is also a Democrat. PRD controls the commonwealth legislature.
Since PR was allowed to elect governors in the late 1940s, there have been two elected governors who were PNP and also affiliated with the GOP (Luis Ferre and Luis Fortuno). When the Democrat/PNP governor Ricky Rossello resigned under scandal a few years back, Wanda Vasquez was appointed governor, who was of the same party (PNP), but also affiliated with the GOP. PR politics are confusing for folks from the mainland and sadly very corrupt on all sides.
Hi.
The U.S. should sell PR back to Spain.
Give DC to MD and VA. (Yes, I know), but it may save the Republic.
Either way, the U.S. or North America isn’t mentioned in the book of Revelation. St. John for those in Rio Linda.
We are doomed.
