Blood on Biden’s hands

Houston police officer shot and killed by illegal criminal immigrant, second officer wounded

While Biden worries about the border of Ukraine, our own border remains wide open. Estimates are that two million illegals have crossed into and remain in the USA since Biden assumed office just one year ago. In this instance it was a convicted criminal from El Salvador who invaded our country and then shot and killed our American officer. And all this is to say nothing of the huge quantities of drugs Biden is, in effect, inviting into America.

I want to thank all the liberals who used to post here for such as this. Your distorted and erroneous thinking processes elected Biden. Were Trump still in office his mitigation efforts would have been allowed to continue. Now, thanks to you, we are wide open to Biden’s Central American invasion.

Houston police officer dead, 1 hurt; illegal immigrant suspect in custody

Be careful, liberals. Do not click that. You might actually learn something!!

Another Trump media causality

You’d think she could talk about Russia! Russia! Russia! Like before, but I guess, like most Americans, she can’t bring herself to care much about the Ukraine.

Eh, I dunno. U of Chicago is the 2nd best school in the country when it comes to free speech and considering it’s a private school located in deep blue urban area, it’s got some of the best intellectual diversity among it’s professorial staff. It is indeed a shame you’re able to find those ridiculous classes there (or anywhere, for that matter), but that’s partly because of the freedom given to students and professors. If she wants a conservative course taught by a conservative, she can choose from several options in the economics department. But the bigger issues are that conservatives don’t want to be undergrad college professors in general (and why would they); and when they are, they don’t teach the conservative equivalent to “Transnational Queer Politics and Practices.” They teach “Molecular Engineering Transport Phenomena” and “Statistical Methods in Economics”

In case you were only suspicious that the Marxists running BLM were a bunch of opportunistic grifters, now you can be sure. They took millions of dollars, bought mansions, resigned, and now the charity is banned from collecting donations because they’re not following all the state rules about reporting on their finances.

The leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement have come up with incredible ways to use all the money those kind and hopeful people gave them, $5 at a time for black lives, plus big corporate donations. Did they share it all in a transparent way with the families of people killed unjustly by police? Oh god no. They bought an awesome party house (news broken by the New York Post).

Under Patrisse Cullors, the head of the BLM Global Network who has since resigned amid a scandal that she bought several homes, a transfer of money was reportedly made from BLM to Cullors’ wife’s philanthropy, which then spent $6.3 million on a fantastic mansion in Toronto. They’re calling it Wildseed, “a transfeminist, queer affirming space politically aligned with supporting Black liberation,” which is a lot of words for party house . Indiana’s attorney general called BLM a “scam” organization, and California’s Department of Justice has sent a warning letter to the organization for failing to submit the proper nonprofit forms for 2020 – BLM is now banned from soliciting more donations in the state. Even New York Magazine is begrudgingly looking into some BLM financial irregularities this week. At some point a scam crosses into such a brazen offensive territory, you have to just have to applaud the chutzpah.

BLM is the Theranos of social justice.

Peace in our time, Brandon style. Biden gives $29B to Iran so that they might talk to him.

The US State Department is waiving sanctions on Iran’s civilian nuclear program in the hope that Tehran will return to the 2015 nuclear agreement, a senior official said Friday.

The removal of sanctions would see the release of Iran’s frozen funds held abroad, estimated at some $29 billion about a one third of what’s held abroad by the country.

Why wouldn’t you at least get them to agree to your nuclear oversight plan in exchange for $29B? Oh, here we go -

Sanctions against exports of Iranian oil would also be removed.

Selling out national security to try to get the gas price down before midterms. Traitor or just incompetence, you be the judge.

Arizona AG officially declares invasion

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich issued an official opinion Monday saying the surge of illegal immigrants coming across the border meets the legal definition of an “invasion” under the U.S. Constitution.

“The on-the-ground violence and lawlessness at Arizona’s border caused by cartels and gangs is extensive, well-documented, and persistent. It can satisfy the definition of ‘actually invaded’ and ‘invasion’ under the U.S. Constitution,” the Republican attorney general wrote in his opinion.

It is now up to AZ Governor Ducey to take such actions as he deems necessary to protect the people of Arizona and their property.

The invasion of Arizona

Biden, of course, is busy defending Ukraine. He has no interest whatsoever in defending The United States of America.

Tough on China, the Biden way. Shady Hunter dealings with China state oil giant.

Hunter Biden tried to strike an exceedingly lucrative, “forever” business deal with a state-owned Chinese energy company that’s since been sanctioned by the US over its ties to the Chinese military, according to the latest emails unearthed from his infamous laptop.

The plan would have apparently also involved the then-prime minister of Kazakhstan, who was arrested on suspicion of treason last month following his ouster as head of the country’s intelligence service.

Just a couple of personal observations as I review the news:

The heroes in Ottawa really have set liberals’ hair on fire. Strictures are falling everywhere as their movement threatens to spread to the USA and beyond. Those Canadian truckers are the BEST!! Disruption of liberal jackasses always brings a smile.

In addition and unrelated:

I question the far left’s ongoing mega-attacks on Trump. It’s their timing I question above all. The Presidential election is not until 2024. Are they trying to discredit Trump so he will not be named Speaker next year? If so, the timing would make sense.

But otherwise all these Trump attacks are premature. It all will be rear view mirror stuff in 2024. Maybe the left, writ large, simply cannot control itself where Trump is concerned, so all consuming is their animosity. But their timing stinks. They cannot possibly keep up this level of attack for the next two years.

I am enjoying the “Trump plugged up the White House toilets” stories. That’s a good one!

Also let’s not forget, if the Republicans win this fall in Congress everything will change. There will be Durham hearings and more Durham hearings. And all the Democrat dirty shenanigans will come into public view. I can hardly wait!!

Biden’s diversity hire for the Fed. Will she be qualified to navigate the uncharted waters between inflation and recession, or will she help as all realize that the economic disaster was deserved because we are all a bunch of racists? Ask the chair of the top Econ department -

Clearly, the key reason for her appointment to the Federal Reserve is her keen interest in matters of Racial Equity and Social Justice. As Governor, she will have access to the research powers of the 400 Ph.D. economists working there. Will she send them to work on these matters, then creatively cherry-pick findings and sweep serious caveats under the rug, as she may have done in her 2014 paper and as described above? Would she instruct the research staff to keep updating their findings, until it fits the narrative she desires, as may have been the case in her own research? Will she use these “insights” to tilt monetary policy and to disseminate them, given the powerful public voice granted to a Governor?

Couldn’t one simply avoid these risks and concerns by appointing an academic expert on monetary policy instead, who also happens to know a thing or two about how to combat inflation? I surely think so.

Her stance pro reparations has been well documented: even her supporters confirm that she has stated as much… she appears rather quick at invoking limiting free speech and raising the charge of “hate” in a matter of disagreement.

Should these activist stances be a cause of concern, before appointing someone to one of the highest offices in the country? I do think so. Might she use her then considerable power to shut down speech and disagreement in the Federal Reserve and elsewhere? Is it reasonable to appoint a person as Fed Governor, who so forcefully spoke up against someone critical of defunding the police, when some police protection might occasionally be welcome to, say, help guard the gold reserves

Fact checkers don’t want you to believe your lying eyes, how the Biden administration is trying to kill minorities off by giving them free drug paraphernalia to fuel their deadly addictions, and how misinformation makes you a domestic terrorist. Cant make this stuff up.

Meth kits for justice: The Biden Administration announced this week it would be putting $30 million of taxpayer money into grants for programs that will in part provide drug users with crack and meth “safe smoking kits,” which typically include the glass stems (the pipes). Priority would be given to drug programs for minority-groups, the administration said.

The Free Beacon reported that a source told them the crack kits could specifically include pipes, and the story went viral. The Fact Checkers were furious. Snopes, which at one time was a Facebook official fact checker, labeled the reporting with a big red X and MOSTLY FALSE rating . . . while confirming the Free Beacon reporting as entirely true. Here’s how they explained it:

In 2022, a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services substance abuse harm reduction grant did require recipients to provide safer smoking kits to existing drug users. In distributing grants, priority would be given to applicants serving historically underserved communities. However what’s false is this was just one of around 20 components of the grant program and far from its most prominent or important one.

That’s right: Snopes claims that the news about smoking kits is true. It’s just not important .

Or here’s Facebook’s “Partly False” Fact Check that also confirms the Free Beacon reporting:

While a description of the HHS grants stated that the grantees would be required to buy materials like safe smoking kits and supplies to “enhance harm reduction efforts,” such kits and supplies are just a few of the many materials that grantees can utilize.

The crack kits are just one of many other things in the basket, you see. So it’s false.

The backlash did, thankfully, reach the White House, which responded by saying they would not directly fund crack pipes and then later that they never were going to add pipes into the smoking kits. Are they lying now in the face of outrage? Maybe. Maybe not. That’s what fierce, independent reporting is for, and that’s why banning articles on developing stories is idiotic.

The disinformation-is-whatever-I-say people run media tech coverage, social media content policy, and now are heavily influencing domestic terrorism policy. Biden’s Department of Homeland Security released this week a bulletin about Domestic Terrorism focused on those who post “mis- dis- and mal-information.” I’m not kidding. The DHS writes: “These threat actors seek to exacerbate societal friction to sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest.”

Remember this anytime you read a story about “misinformation” in the legacy press or see a “fact check” from your social media giant of choice. The people doing this are hoping you can’t use your eyes to read, and their goal is to get the government involved. True is now Mostly False.

Talk about throwing a tantrum…

The majority rewarded anti-vaxxers for gaming the system by asking twelve different federal judges for an injunction before finding one lawless enough to grant one.

First, being against mandates does not make you an “antivaxxer”. This author doesnt even understand who he’s writing about (ok, he’s doing it intentionally, because focusing on the actual arguments doesnt yield the desired outrage, and would…gasp…make the decision look much more rational). Second, this group “found” a judge actually interested in following the law, and the appeals court affirmed this. It remains mind-blowing how following the law regardless of personal bias is now considered “lawlessness”.

The president, of course, is the head of the executive branch, and according to the Supreme Court, he holds all executive power. Although the chief executive often delegates oversight of his roughly 2.1 million employees, he is, as a constitutional matter, their boss. Congress has acknowledged this fact in [a sweeping law](5 U.S. Code § 7301 - Presidential regulations | U.S. Code | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute that allows the president to “prescribe regulations for the conduct of employees in the executive branch.”

Never before in U.S. history has a single federal judge attempted to seize the president’s authority over his own employees to such a brazen and extreme degree.

But history is filled with examples where employers have been forbidden from mandating things of their workers that were not essential to the performance of their job - which is the essence fo this case and this decision. The whole underlying sentiment is not that “he cant make me”, it’s that there is no acute necessity for such workers to be vaccinated against this virus. Mandate vaccinations for all federal employees over the age of 65 or with at least 3 preexisting health conditions, and it might have a chance of standing. Forcing healthy young adults to be vaccinated in order to remain employed is solely to serve a political agenda and pander to a political base.

Judge Stephen A. Higginson, a moderate Barack Obama nominee, penned a dissent that reflected a kind of stunned outrage. “The public interest is not served,” Higginson wrote, “by a single Article III district judge, lacking public health expertise and made unaccountable through life tenure, telling the President of the United States, in his capacity as CEO of the federal workforce, that he cannot take the same lifesaving workplace safety measures as these private sector CEOs.”

So he completely ignores the legality issues, and simply declares we should do it anyways. This is the lawless response. Yet is the one we’re suppose to cheer?

If there were ever a time for the Supreme Court to rein in this exploitation of judicial power, it is now.

I agree, and this is what we are now seeing happen…

It is about who governs this country: a democratically elected president or an unelected, life-tenured juristocrat.

Um, I’m pretty sure both are expected to enforce the boundaries established by the legislature. We have a democratically elected President, not a democratically elected dictator. It doesnt matter how good someone thinks something may be, they cannot do it if it remains against the law. Funny how the critics keep leaving that part out.

A New Mexico group that advocates for government transparency has weighed in, calling for Luján’s office to release more information about his health. The New Mexico Foundation for Open Government said New Mexicans have been left confused and concerned in the wake of Luján’s stroke. The group urged the senator’s office to make a spokesperson and one of Luján’s treating physicians available for regular updates.

i’m really disappointed that the turtle has not forced a vote on a new majority leader. I guess it would be too unseemly for the Republicans to fight like Democrats.
