All they need to do is admit Trump was right and they were wrong

The White House Know Its Police And Border Policies Are About To Crash, But Can They Stop It?
Something strange is afoot in the party of Jefferson. With the Democrats still spinning after the collapse of their election bill — and progressives furious with the White House’s seeming lack of commitment to that effort — the president has already pivoted, announcing a plan to tackle the violent crime wave besetting American cities.
Trump was right, Biden and Democrats are wrong!
And the vice president? She’s on her way to the border, 91 days, two countries, and countless laughs after it was first assigned by the boss.
Some might notice that cracking down on rampant crime and tackling a crisis at the border were not topics of discussion when now-President Joe Biden and now-Vice President Kamala (briefly) shared a debate stage two years ago. In fact, it was quite the opposite, littered with jabs and brags about who was more anti-cop or more open-border. So what gives?

Well what gives is that Democrats and their lackies have been trying unsuccessfully to pin the increase in violence on Trump, Republicans, White supremacists, and law enforecement in general. They continue to pretend that the rash of violence and rioting in many of our cities is not really much of a deal. Rather, the only thing that should concern anyone is the Jan 6th Capital riot. This is why they are working so hard to keep the Capital riot in the news. Not because it was especially violent compared to other riots, but because it's the sole example they have of something not caused by liberals. 

The problem with this logic is for all of the rhetoric and nonsense about White supremacy, there really hasn't been any real NEW tangible violence, rioting, or other outbreaks of crime that can be tied to White supremacy. It's one thing to "declare" it from the bully pulpit. It's another thing to convince people that it is real, when the stubborn facts are suggesting something 180 degrees different. 

 Antifa is still rioting. Border crime is through the roof. Inner cities are blowing up. But there just doesn't seem to be that rash of White supremacy violence that has been promised by the Biden Administration and Biden DOJ. Nope, all the violence seems to stem from where it always has stemmed from. The blame can be squarely placed on the defund the police movement and the lax manner in which our Justice departments across the country are handling the criminal actions. 

Democrats have tried to play the game of misdirection. Pretending that if they simply don't arrest or punish anyone for Antifa/BLM violence or if they simply allow looting and property crimes to happen without consequences that the American public will not see it as an issue. As long as they spend all of their time rounding up tourists from the Jan 6th rally, they will convince everyone that that was the only criminal event since Biden has taken office. 

So now Biden and gang are planning on addressing violence. The problem is that they really cannot help themselves. I have no doubt that their plan will still include finger pointing at Trump and the Republicans and pretending that the issue is not the issues with defund the police or the lax manner in which our justice departments treat criminals. They will do more to deflect blame than to solve the problem. Because solving the problem will be to admit that Trump was right and they were wrong.

The military is a Woke Hoax.


Most Americans of all colors on some level understand this. They don’t always have the words to articulate it. Their kids come home with school assignments that suggest all races are not, in fact, equal. Some races are guilty, and some are innocent. Some groups are oppressors, and others are oppressed.

In the universities, this is called "critical race theory," so that’s the term many people go with. "Critical race theory" — that’s what we so often debate on TV. But it’s an inaccurate way to describe what’s happening. Like so much academic jargon, the phrase "critical race theory" doesn’t mean anything. It obscures, rather than illuminates. It’s designed to confuse you. What’s happening in our schools and our military and our government is both simpler and easier to recognize than that. It’s not critical race theory. It’s racism. Not "neo-racism" or "reverse racism." Those are meaningless terms. It’s race hate, peddled by the people in charge in the hope it’ll make them more powerful. That’s all it is.

We haven’t said that often enough or clearly enough. And because we haven’t — because we’ve been tied up in some pointless debate about a concept nobody can actually define — the race hate, and that’s what it is, has oozed from the universities and infected the entire country, including at the highest levels.

BIDEN SHOWS THAT HE CAN DO WHAT TRUMP COULD NOT

Bipartisanship Lives, and Biden Takes a Bow

Finally, Infrastructure Week is for real.

“This reminds me of the days we used to get an awful lot done in the Congress,” Joe Biden said, on Thursday, while announcing a bipartisan infrastructure deal.

THIS IS the first, and so far only, major bipartisan breakthrough of Biden’s still-new Administration:
a plan, negotiated by a group of ten senators—five Democrats and five Republicans—to advance a version of Biden’s sweeping infrastructure legislation, reduced to a not-quite-a-trillion-dollar package.

If passed, it would be the largest infrastructure bill ever enacted. On Thursday morning, Biden called the negotiators to the White House. Less than an hour later, he emerged, grinning, and announced, “We had a really good meeting. We have a deal.”

THE EXCELLENT NYT ARTICLE CONTINUES.

Biden Administration Will Sue Georgia Over Voting Law
June 25, 2021 at 10:34 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

“In its first major action to combat GOP voter suppression laws, the Biden Justice Department will announce on Friday that it is suing the state of Georgia over its new voting restrictions,” Mother Jones reports.

“The lawsuit is being overseen by Kristen Clarke, the head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, and Vanita Gupta, the associate attorney general—two longtime civil rights lawyers with extensive records litigating against new restrictions on voting.”

The Washington Post has more details on the lawsuit. (see my next post)

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

WASHINGTON POST:
Justice Dept. to file lawsuit against state of Georgia over new voting restrictions

The Justice Department will file a federal lawsuit Friday against the state of Georgia for its efforts to enact new voting restrictions that federal authorities allege discriminate against Black Americans, according to people familiar with the matter.

The legal challenge takes aim at Georgia’s Election Integrity Act, which was passed in March by the Republican-led state legislature and signed into law by Gov. Brian Kemp (R).

The law imposes new limits on the use of absentee ballots,
makes it a crime for outside groups to provide food and water to voters waiting at polling stations,
and hands greater control over election administration to the state legislature.

Attorney General Merrick Garland and Kristen Clarke, head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, will make the announcement later Friday alongside others who worked closely on developing the lawsuit, including Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta and Principal Deputy Assistant Pamela Karlan, the people familiar with the matter said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because the action has not been formally made public.

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill have been briefed on the matter.

The action is the first major voting rights case the Justice Department has filed under the Biden administration and comes as Republican-led state governments across the country have been seeking to impose broad new voting restrictions in the wake of President Biden’s victory over Donald Trump last November.

Trump has spent months waging a baseless effort to discredit the result, making false and untrue allegations of widespread voter fraud.

It will be fun watching Garland get smacked down by the very USSC he felt so entitled to join.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

In particular, Garland said the department was reviewing recent studies that showed that, in some jurisdictions, nonwhite people wait in line much longer than white people to vote.

"To meet the challenge of the current moment, we must rededicate the resources of the Department of Justice to a critical part of its original mission: Enforcing federal law to protect the franchise for all voters," Garland said.

Garland, a former federal judge, said the department's new steps were inspired by "a dramatic rise in legislative efforts that will make it harder for citizens to cast a vote that counts."

"So far this year, at least 14 states have passed new laws that make it harder to vote, and some jurisdictions, based on disinformation, have utilized abnormal post-election audit methodologies that may put the integrity of the voting process at risk and undermine public confidence in our democracy," 

Undermineing public confidence in our democracy is the most dangerous situation since the Constitution was adopted by a majority of the states.

Bipartisan Biden Continues to Be Better at Politics Than You

He ain’t taking your bait Scott.


by TIM MILLER 

 

JUNE 25, 2021

U.S. President Joe Biden delivers remarks on the Senate's bipartisan infrastructure deal at the White House on June 24, 2021 in Washington, DC. Biden said both sides made compromises on the nearly $1 trillion infrastructure bill (Photo by

While everyone in the Twitter and cable-news bubble is obsessing over panic porn, bemoaning the end of our democratic experiment, nitpicking the president’s mask messaging, and smearing him as a dangerous radical, “Average” Joe Biden is just plugging along, cutting deals, keepin’ his Trans Am shiny and his favorability rating above 50 percent.

I mean look at this chart. It is beautiful in its simplicity and steadiness.


Yesterday his political hot streak continued. Right at the moment that the fickle mainstream media was beginning to turn on him, declaring that “his prospects darken” (ominous) at home and that his unity talk had reached its limits, the wheelin’, dealin’, backslappin’ president showed up on the White House lawn with a bipartisan group of senators who were “almost shocking” in their “warmth and good humor” to announce that they had reached a deal on an infrastructure plan.

At the Huffington Post, Igor Bobic and Arthur Delaney lay out the current state of play on the terms of the deal:

The framework totals roughly $1.2 trillion over eight years, containing $579 billion in new federal spending on narrowly defined infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, airports and waterways. Its cost would be offset by a variety of revenue sources, but would not include any tax hikes. “We have agreed on the price tag, the scope, and how to pay for it,” Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said. “It was essential to show the Senate can function—that we can work in a bipartisan way.”

There remain significant ins and outs and what-have-yous before this framework becomes law; an announcement is not a bill signing. But even just an image of the divides being bridged reinforces how Biden can successfully stick to the same political plan that has improbably worked for him since he launched his campaign saying “the American people want their government to work . . . the country is sick of the division.”

For Biden, the good-faith attempt to live up to this promise accrues to his benefit politically, even if it doesn’t pan out. His bipartisan “we have a deal” press conference offers a stark contrast with the record of his boorish predecessor who, despite claims of being a dealmaker, rarely even brought legislators from the opposing party to the White House. (I remain astonished that Jon Tester, one of the most gettable Democrats in the Senate for Trump on a range of issues, had never been invited to the Oval Office before Biden took over.)

So now regardless of the outcome, when critics on his left flank claim bipartisanship is impossible, or bad-faith right wingers fabricate imaginary divisiveness, Biden will have the receipts.

The bipartisan bill will probably pass.

The second half bill, they will attempt to use the reconciliation process. If it doesn't include tax increases, it will also pass.

The trick is keeping the more conservative Democrats in line. But I still believe this is a transitional process.

Well technically the DOJ has no real "rights" here other than to sue.

If the courts decide that the Georgia law is unconstitutional, then they would win that lawsuit. But these so called "racist" lawsuits are hard to prove and there is nothign in these laws that suggest race was any overwhelming factor.

Same arguments were made (and lost) regarding voter ID laws. That Voter ID laws were discriminating.

Since Georgia is in the 11th Circuit Court, that will be a tough road to sled.

Out of the 69 total Judges 42 were appointed by Republicans and 26 of those were appointed by Trump. So almost 40% of the Justices will have been appointed by Trump. Hard place for a Biden DOJ to make a weak case.

Which is exactly why Garland is doing this either for pure partisan politics or he's an imbecile.

Read the GA law. Nothing in it suggest it is racist in the least. The stretch required to get to "THAT'S RAY-CISS!!!" is fucking absurd. Which explains why morons like the alky applaud the effort.






C.H. Truth said...

So if the Biden Administration comes to terms with Republicans on 900 billion dollars...

and then turns around and just tries to pass the rest through reconciliation, then they are just spitting on the "bi-partisan" agreement that they made. What was the point of going to Republicans if they were just going to try to use Reconcilation to get what they wanted in the first place.

But lastly... the reconciliation process is designed for fiscal issues that do not increase the Federal budget to any lasting degree. Hard to imagine that passing 2-3 trillion can be done without increasing the deficit.


Besides, the idea of increasing the deficit for large spending is amazingly unpopular right now.

It's almost as if Democrats "want" to lose 2022.

The big lie hasn't effected a single one decision during the transition period and since inauguration day.

If the justices remain objective, they will see the underlying racism in these cases.

I doubt voter ID will matter enough to uphold the Georgia laws, because the right to vote is THE first right.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

The Wall Street Journal describes why they wrote these new rules.

Georgia’s changes to its voting procedures follow key election losses by Republicans. The GOP has dominated Georgia politics for decades, but in recent years Democratic turnout has grown, particularly in Atlanta’s growing suburbs.

Last November, President Donald Trump lost the state to Democrat Joe Biden by about 12,000 votes out of five million cast. 

If the Republicans can reduce turnout by just a few thousand votes, they can win it back.

THE ATLANTIC
Does Biden Have an Answer to America’s Crime Spike?
The president has few levers he can pull on to reduce the country’s murder rate.

By David A. Graham, staff writer

Joe Biden knows he needs to appear to be doing something about crime.


Murder rates around the country rose precipitously in 2020, and in many cities the increases have continued into 2021. But the president has few levers to affect crime quickly, and faces political hazards in every direction. Biden has championed police reform, and many progressive Democrats have pushed for sharp reductions in police budgets.

The result was an unsatisfying announcement yesterday, delivered by a meandering Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland, about new federal efforts to fight gun violence.

The public is alarmed. While crime remains lower than it was at its 1990s peak, a recent poll conducted by Leger in collaboration with The Atlantic finds that six in 10 Americans view crime in the country as a major issue. The problem, for Biden, is that there’s simply not much the federal government can do: The fastest initiatives seem unlikely to have much effect, while others have more potential but are unlikely to come to fruition soon. Law enforcement in the United States is largely conducted on the local and state levels, with a limited federal role. Federal efforts at crime fighting can have unintended consequences, as the huge increase in incarceration that followed the 1994 crime bill demonstrated.

One thing Washington does effectively is shovel money at a problem, a brute-force way to fight, for example, a pandemic-induced economic downturn. Crime doesn’t necessarily work the same way. What drives crime—both up, as is the case now, and down, as occured from the ’90s until recently—is not well understood. Money can be used to, for example, hire more police officers, but training cops takes time, and besides, many departments are already struggling to fill open, funded positions, according to a survey from the Police Executive Research Forum.

Writing checks to hire cops might be politically untenable for Biden. Although the president pointedly distanced himself from Democrats who have called for defunding the police, a huge increase in federal funding to departments would likely spark an insurrection on his left flank, at a moment when the president is already struggling to hold together his fragile coalition on voting rights and infrastructure—not to mention trying to nurture a bipartisan police-reform bill.

Biden focused his efforts on gun violence instead. On Tuesday, the Justice Department announced the creation of new gun-trafficking strike forces in five major cities, with the goal of stemming the illegal flow of guns.

“With these strike forces, local and federal law enforcement and prosecutors are going to be able to better coordinate the prosecution of illegal gun trafficking across city and state lines, so illegal guns sold from the back door of a gun shop in Virginia don’t end up at a murder scene in Baltimore,” Biden said yesterday.

This makes political sense: Most Democrats agree on at least modest increases in gun control, and large portions of the population support measures such as universal background checks. Stricter enforcement against illegal gun trafficking is simple enough, because it relies on existing laws. Moreover, contra the familiar NRA slogan, guns do kill people; firearms consistently account for a large majority of murders in the United States, and there’s evidence of a big recent jump in the number of guns that Americans own. Other categories of crime have not increased the way murders have over the past year.

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

Whether this focus on firearms will really affect crime is a different question. Criminologists don’t agree on the specific causes and mechanisms of the recent increase in murders, which coincided with the coronavirus pandemic and especially with protests against police violence last summer. Fighting the root causes requires understanding what they are, but in the meantime, Biden’s focus on gun trafficking might have limited effect.

“What it’s doing is trying to address the supply, and it’s not doing a thing about the demand,” Jerry Ratcliffe, a criminal-justice professor at Temple University, told me. “We have a vicious cycle. Guns on the street are fueling shootings, and more shootings are fueling more guns on the street.”

The federal government can only go after guns that are being sold illegally. But most guns are purchased and owned legally. Biden would surely be happy to sign more sweeping gun controls, but Republicans in Congress continue to block any new legislation, and previous Democratic presidents have already tried many of the most promising executive actions.

The most intriguing element of Biden’s announcement is a push for community violence-intervention (CVI) programs. While there are a range of designs for these programs, some of them have shown impressive efficacy in reducing gun violence. Mark Obbie wrote about the promising results of such programs in stopping shootings in The Atlantic in 2019.

Thomas Abt, a senior fellow at the Council on Criminal Justice and a former Justice Department official, has championed such efforts, and told me he was cautiously optimistic about the Biden initiatives.

Yesterday’s announcement “features much-needed federal resources for law enforcement, community-based service providers, the hiring of returning citizens, and more,” he said. “Partnership across sectors and constituencies will continue to be critical in the fight against gun violence.”

Making CVI programs work requires time, money, and the right partners. The White House has told local governments that they can use money from the American Rescue Plan, the stimulus bill passed in March, for CVI programs. Biden has also asked Congress to allocate $5 billion for these programs. But even if Congress agreed, that money wouldn’t be available in time to mitigate the annual summer surge in violence.

Biden has been careful not to overpromise, warning, “There is no one answer that fits everything.” That’s certainly the case, but it’s unlikely to absolve the Biden administration in the public’s mind, during what may be a very violent summer ahead.


OR PEOPLE MAY SEE THAT HE IS SAYING AND DOING THE RIGHT THINGS.

The exchange took place during a House Armed Services hearing on the Defense Department budget, where Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin faced similar questions on "critical race theory," a decades-old academic concept that recognizes systemic racism as part of American society, that has become a political talking point for Republicans nationwide.

Embattled Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, who was seen shaking his head during Milley's comments, later tweeted a video of Milley's remarks, writing in the tweet:

"With Generals like this it's no wonder we've fought considerably more wars than we've won."

No, it would be far more appropriate to say,

"With politicians like you, Gaetz, it's a wonder we've won as many wars as we have."

Lower crime occurs when The President supports and defends all LEO's.

Reverse his disastrous Exercutive Order on closing private prisons.

Releasing 60 K Federal Felons will repeat offend @ rates up to 30,000 victims .

Seems to me goat fucker that the GOP of trump and you show no respect for cops or the jobs they do by virtue of ignoring the insurrection and the damage to the capital building and its police force without trying to get the actual answers....You also refuse common sense gun legislation that most cops agree to!!!!! The private prisons are a disaster and do not in any way save money or resources that were claimed....No go plough a field or a goat ....whatever is easier for a non entity like yourself!!!!!!

Private Prision are wanted by the US Marshalls.

These men and women are in the field arresting US Federal Criminal Felons.
The prisons keep those arrested.
And those prisons transport the Federal Felons to and from court.
And to US prisons after conviction.
Those jobs will revert to the US Marshalls. Restricting their ability to hunt down and arrest US Federal Criminal Felons.

"Current and former officials at the U.S. Marshals Service said they are worried about an executive order from the Biden administration that phases out contracts with private prisons and jails.

The order, which likely applies to 10,000 of the 60,000 people the marshals have in custody on any given day, could mean that some pretrial detainees are housed hours away from courthouses where their cases will be heard, and that marshals could be diverted from their work on fugitive task forces to transport those defendants over long distances"

Bingo!! The lawsuit has a snowballs chance in hell of prevailing but it keeps the left-wing natives from becoming restless.
This is how the left-wing gf the Democrats is close to controlling the party.

But these so called "racist" lawsuits are hard to prove and there is nothign in these laws that suggest race was any overwhelming factor.

Which is exactly why Garland is doing this either for pure partisan politics or he's an imbecile.

Read the GA law. Nothing in it suggest it is racist in the least. The stretch required to get to "THAT'S RAY-CISS!!!" is fucking absurd. Which explains why morons like the alky applaud the effort.

Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, was a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case that established the principle of judicial review in the United States,

Nobody here is disputing that. But unless they can charge some violation of the civil rights or voting rights act they will have a hard time establishing standing in essentially an constitutional exercise of state power.

What Garland is trying to do is establish through judicial fiat what couldn't legislated by the Democrats. The courts would be in no mood for lawsuits such as this.

The electorate agrees on what is causing the recent spike of crimes. It's not all that hard to see.

Whether this focus on firearms will really affect crime is a different question. Criminologists don’t agree on the specific causes and mechanisms of the recent increase in murders
