But the truth is that there is a difference between an CNN journalist making a silly argument for other liberals and an actual legal argument made by attorneys in front of Judges. The former just needs rhetoric, while the latter needs to evidence and proof above.
The concepts that there is no voter fraud or that there are people out there incapable of voting is something that liberals will demand amongst themselves. But when it comes to showing proof of these concepts in court, they fall short. The reality shows that voter fraud is real and every election there are hundreds of arrests and convictions and probably thousands that get away with it. Entire elections have been overturned because of fraud. Yet, when push comes to shove, these attorneys generally fail to yield even one tangible person who is legally incapable of following the necessary rules to vote.
Instead they rely on the "argument" that the voter fraud that does exist is not tangible or otherwise worthy of attention. Then they will "argue" that there are people who are obviously capable of following the voting laws, but none-the-less will either choose not to or will not take the time to understand them. They will argue that these people are victims and the idea of following the law to be intrusive.
In other words, they downplay the tangible proven problem and attempt to inflate the unproven implied problem. Again, works well when you are attempting to prove your point to other liberals openly longing to believe it. But this sort of argument has no place in a court of law.
The USSC by a rather large 6-3 held up the law on the standards of fact. They see voter fraud as a strong and viable concern because there is (contrary to popular liberal rhetoric) tangible and real evidence that it exists. They see a difference between people who either choose not to inform themselves or choose not to follow the voting laws and the rhetoric that these people are somehow victims of a targeted law.
This is a real court. Not a court of liberal public opinion. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. This is why the liberal concept that Merrick Garland can come to the rescue and stop that new Georgia law (and presumably the Texas law and others) from taking hold is pure folly.

Stocks rose at the open and the S&P 500 hit another record high after the June jobs report showed an accelerating recovery for the U.S. labor market.
The broad market index rose 0.2%, while the tech heavy Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.4% to hit its own intraday all-time high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added about 60 points.
The economy added 850,000 jobs last month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones were expecting an addition of 706,000. The print topped the 559,000 jobs created in May.
The unemployment rate did come in at 5.9%, higher than expected.
“This is a strong report and should be taken as a sign of things to come for an accelerating labor market,” Aberdeen Standard Investments deputy chief economist James McCann said in a note.
“Today’s data won’t change the Fed’s view. An acceleration in the labor market like the one signaled in this report is exactly what they were anticipating,” McCann added. “The pick-up in hiring should tell the central bank that firms are having more success finding workers, which will ease concerns about a more protracted period of increasing wages. What will happen now is that investors will really focus in on when the Fed is likely to announce a tapering of its asset purchases.”
Wages rose 0.3% for the month and are up 3.6% year over year, matching expectations.
Biden Makes Push to Encourage U.S. Citizenship
July 2, 2021 at 8:54 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 12 Comments
“The Biden administration is introducing an unprecedented effort to encourage eligible immigrants to apply for US citizenship,” CNN reports.
“That includes, for example,
holding naturalization ceremonies at national parks to raise awareness,
partnering with the US Postal Service to display promotional posters at Postal Service facilities about becoming a US citizen,
and engaging with the Department of Veterans Affairs and veteran service organizations
to find ways to educate service members and veterans on citizenship.”

"OH NO!" say the Repulbicans. "Now we're gonna have to try to come up with even more creative ways to keep those new citizens from voting!!!"
This is very conservative Supreme Court exposed an existential crisis that can only be repaired by the President and the Democrats, because the minority party has almost complete control over elections.
A carefully crafted version of the voting rights act is necessary to save the country from minority rule.
The best solution is to eliminate the electoral college system. It gives voters in Wyoming the power 9 to 1 in the electoral college system.

We conclude that SB 3 imposes unreasonable burdens on the right to

Supreme Court Erodes Votings Rights Act in 6-3 Vote: Conservatives See No ‘Racially Discriminatory Purpose’
Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) challenged those rules in a federal lawsuit, alleging the policy “adversely and disparately affect Arizona’s American Indian, Hispanic, and African-American citizens” and had “discriminatory intent.” A federal district court judge rejected the case following a bench trial, as did the first appeal before the Ninth Circuit. The secretary of state’s second appeal before the Ninth Circuit’s full bench en banc was more successful—until the case reached the Supreme Court’s supermajority.
Joined by all of his conservative-appointed peers, Justice Alito ruled that the evidence showing that the law harms communities of color more was not enough to show discriminatory intent.
“To the extent that minority and non-minority groups differ with respect to employment, wealth, and education, even neutral regulations, no matter how crafted, may well result in some predictable disparities in rates of voting and non-compliance with voting rules,” Alito wrote. “But the mere fact there is some disparity in impact does not necessarily mean that a system is not equally open or that it does not give everyone an equal opportunity to vote.”

They gutted the civil rights act in 2013. The Republicans want to go back to the 50s. no n***** in the voting system.
The Republicans "argument" is that the voter fraud that does exist is not tangible or otherwise worthy of attention.
Because like you believe and Trump and the Big Lie
State courts are still open to claims that voting laws violate state constitutions. And even after the Court's decision, Section 2 is still available to ferret out the worst voting laws, though the standard is now a lot tougher to meet.
The Court's decision is a stark reminder that it is no fan of voting rights. The thumb is firmly on the side of the states to regulate their elections as they wish, which in many places is bad news for American democracy.
Our federal democracy itself was created to protect and right to own slaves, and get the slave owing states to confirm the Constitution.
The Republican controlled legislatures can decide whether the popular vote is valid.
If your home state legislature passed a similar law, you would be writing to the editor and screaming bloody murder.
he Supreme Court Should Be Expanded
by staff, July 2nd, 2021 7:57 AM EST
Washington Post columnist E. J. Dionne, Jr. comments on Thursday’s “twin rulings” from the U.S. Supreme Court, which allow states to “make it harder for people to vote” “made it easier for big donors to sway elections in secrecy.” Dionne argues that “These decisions send three important messages”:
The first is to Sens. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and other senators still reluctant to overturn or reform the Senate’s filibuster rules. Their choice really is between defending the filibuster and defending democracy. If Manchin and Sinema allow Republicans in the Senate to kill all efforts to enforce voting rights and to check the power of big money in politics, they will be throwing in the towel on democracy itself.
Manchin, to his credit, has put together a series of provisions aimed at defending voter rights in states where Republican legislatures are engaged in both overt and subtle efforts at voter suppression. If he can’t get 10 Republicans to join him (and all the evidence says he won’t), he has to decide that his (small-d) democratic commitments take precedence over his reluctance to alter the Senate’s rules.
Second, Congress should think again before it strips the For the People Act of its provisions creating strong incentives for federal candidates to rely on small contributions. Small-donor incentives are, at the moment, the most effective way to push back against the Supreme Court’s solicitude toward the role of the wealthy in our political system.
The third is to all who have so far resisted the urgency of battling conservative Republicans’ systematic effort to pack the court with justices who will do their bidding.
From the GOP blockade against President Barack Obama’s appointment of Merrick Garland to the 2020 confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett a little more than a week before Election Day, Republicans have been ruthless in using raw power to tilt court outcomes. Two votes on the court could (and likely would) have shifted the outcomes of Thursday’s decisions the other way.
They earn the same James.
AND blacks with the same income as white have less net worth and little in equities.

Bidenomics is not creating jobs.

July 1, 2021, might come to be known as Oligarchy Day.
It should certainly be the day when advocates of democracy and equal rights rip off their blinders and stop pretending that the court’s conservative majority is in any way impartial or nonpartisan. The decisions in both cases could have been written by the Republican National Committee, attorneys for the Koch brothers and advocates of voter suppression.
In a much-anticipated case on voting rights, the court let stand Arizona laws requiring election officials to discard ballots cast in the wrong precincts and prohibiting campaign workers, community activists and others from collecting ballots.
The larger implication: The ruling in Brnovich, Attorney General of Arizona v. Democratic National Committee will weaken Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the most important part of the law left standing after the court’s 2013 decision gutting Section 5 of the law. That part had required Justice Department pre-clearance of voting rules changes in places that had a history of racial discrimination.

EDITOR'S PICK, The Pantagraph
From the Pulpit: Common-ism
The earliest Christians were “common-ists.” No, not communists — not modern atheistic Marxists — but followers of Jesus who sought to practice his teachings by sharing “everything in common. They would sell their property and possessions to give to anyone who had need… No one claimed private ownership of any of their possessions, but everything they owned was held in common” (Acts 2:44,45; 4:23).
One reason Christian believers in Jerusalem could observe so communal and socialistic a practice was their conviction that the return of Jesus was going to take place within a very short time, bringing the blessings of God’s Kingdom to all the earth. As the years wore on, however, and Jesus’ immediate return failed to materialize, churches founded in Asia Minor, Greece and Italy relaxed such stringent requirements for membership.
Still, as late as a quarter century after Jesus’ crucifixion, the Apostle Paul, writing to the Christians in Corinth, could assure them that “the present form of the world is passing away” and the return of Jesus was now so very near, he said, that they might want to consider abstaining from sex within marriage and even from marrying itself (!) in order to prepare themselves spiritually for Jesus’ imminent return. (1st Corinthians chapter 7; Paul’s certainty about the nearness of Jesus’ return can probably be attributed to a statement by Jesus that not all his original followers would die before he came back: Mark 9:1; compare Matthew 16:28).
Of course, Jesus could be exceedingly demanding and envisioned an imminent godly Kingdom on earth in which there would be neither wealth nor poverty (Luke 6:20-26) and in which no one would attempt to rule over or take advantage of others, but all would strive toward being loving servants, even slaves, of one another, as he himself felt tasked to be, even to the point of dying for the sake of the vast “many” (Mark 10:42-45; Isaiah 53:11-12).
In the political turmoil of today, it is regrettable that so many who claim allegiance to Jesus adamantly oppose any form of “common-ism,” even when practiced by democratic societies. It is disheartening to have to admit that several nations in our world today are far more responsive to Jesus’ communal teachings than are many American politicians who seem hell-bent on creating a government dedicated to pursuing the selfish greed they wish to impose on all the rest of us.

Radical Left New York City and State Prosecutors, who have let murderers, rapists, drug dealers, and all other forms of crime skyrocket to record levels, and who have just announced that they will be releasing hundreds of people involved in violent crime back onto the streets without retribution of any kind, are rude, nasty, and totally biased in the way they are treating lawyers, representatives, and some of the wonderful long-term employees and people within the Trump Organization. After hundreds of subpoenas, over 3 million pages of documents, 4 years of searching, dozens and dozens of interviews, and millions of dollars of taxpayer funds wasted, they continue to be “in search of a crime” and will do anything to frighten people into making up the stories or lies that they want, but have been totally unable to get. In an unprecedented move, they retained an outside “Never Trumper” lawyer from a Trump-hating law firm to work on the case. It is a continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt of all time.
Now they are issuing ultimatums, working in close conjunction with the Washington, D.C. hacks who have been investigating me from the day I came down the escalator in Trump Tower, but who have failed. In fact, the guilty parties were these prosecutors’ partners in crime, the Radical Left Democrats and friends. They will do anything to stop the MAGA movement (and me), even if it involves prosecutorial misconduct and harassment of a political opponent, which they are using at levels rarely seen before. They leak, they lie, and they campaign based on information that has already been gone through in other of the many investigations I have put up with.
Now they just leaked that we were given one day, today, to make our case about things that are standard practice throughout the U.S. business community, and in no way a crime. They also know that no matter how strong our case, they will work hard to embarrass us and the Republican Party.
Having politically motivated prosecutors, people who actually got elected because they will “get Donald Trump,” is a very dangerous thing for our Country. In the end, people will not stand for it. Remember, if they can do this to me, they can do it to anyone! Why would anyone bring their company to New York, or even stay in New York, knowing these Radical Left Democrats would willingly target their company if viewed as a political opponent? It is devastating for New York!
These Witch Hunters are relentlessly seeking to destroy a reputation of a President who has done a great job for this Country, including tax and regulation cuts, Border control, rebuilding the Military, and developing the vaccine in record time—thereby saving our Country, and far beyond. Washington, D.C. and ultimately, the U.S. Supreme Court, should finally stop these vicious, angry, and highly partisan prosecutors. They are a disgrace to our Nation!
Salute Me Scott!
And Trump just calls witch hunt and does not counter the charges against his namesake!!!!!! This is just the first wave as there are many skeletons in donnie's fat ass!!!!!!!! Sad the slurpers will just ask for another!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Justice Won’t Hear Case of Florist Refusing Service
July 2, 2021 at 10:27 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 91 Comments
“The Supreme Court on Friday turned away a challenge from a Washington State florist who declined to create an arrangement for a same-sex wedding, the latest development in a long running dispute over LGBTQ rights,” USA Today reports.
“The court refused to hear the case without comment, as is its usual practice. Three conservative associate justices, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, said they would have taken the case. The high court’s decision not to take the case leaves in place a Washington State Supreme Court ruling against the florist.”

You have all said that American Greatness is a great new news source!
Do you agree that the FBI should be defunded?????
Do You Trust the FBI?
A few days ago, I spoke to the spouse of a January 6 defendant who has been in jail for months awaiting trial. She told me about the FBI raid of their home, which occurred at 9:30 p.m. on a Sunday night in front of their young child. (American Greatness is concealing their identities to minimize the risk of reprisal.)
Twenty agents showed up with weapons drawn to arrest him and ransack the house. She was taken into a separate room—the couple did not ask to have an attorney present—where she was interrogated by three FBI agents. They asked her who they voted for and which political party they identified with. The agents grilled her about what news channels they watched and their views on immigration, including the border wall.
She was asked if they followed QAnon. (The FBI has given lawmakers a report titled “Adherence to QAnon Conspiracy Theory by Some Domestic Violent Extremists,” which claims the “participation of some domestic violent extremists (DVE) who are also self-identified QAnon adherents in the violent siege of the US Capitol on 6 January underscores how the current environment likely will continue to act as a catalyst for some to begin accepting the legitimacy of violent action.”)
The FBI agents asked her if she belonged to a group such as the Oath Keepers or Three Percenters. She told me she had no idea what they were talking about.
“Obviously it was stupid to talk to the FBI, but we’re not criminals, we weren’t hiding anything, [and] I knew he did nothing wrong that day,” she told me by text. “I’d like to think I answered their questions wisely and honestly but now I realize . . . how they turn everything against you. Most of the questions I answered I don’t know or I can’t remember. I feel so stupid!!!”
She shouldn’t feel stupid for cooperating with a powerful government agency entrusted with tracking down real criminals, as opposed American citizens who did nothing wrong on January 6. The only people who should feel stupid are the FBI officials and agents conducting this destructive farce disguised as a legitimate investigation.
Republicans would do well to abandon their longtime, reflexive loyalty to the FBI. With all the talk of defunding the police, it’s clear the nation’s most powerful police department is a threat to civil liberties and the rule of law. Maybe it’s time to defund the FBI.
Hiring leapt back up in June as employers added 850,000 workers, the government reported Friday. It was the strongest gain in 10 months and a fresh sign that the labor market’s recovery is gaining momentum.
The unemployment rate rose slightly, to 5.9 percent, the Labor Department said.
The report follows several promising economic developments this week. Consumer confidence, which surged in June, is at its highest point since the pandemic’s onset last year. Stocks closed out the first half of the year at record highs, and businesses’ plans for capital investments are rising. The Congressional Budget Office said Thursday that the economy was on track to recover all the jobs lost in the pandemic by the middle of next year.
“I think it’s a very solid and strong report and very encouraging that we’re seeing over the last few months continued increase in the net job creation,” said Kathy Bostjancic, chief U.S. financial economist for Oxford Economics. She noted that the totals fell below the one million mark that the Federal Reserve chair, Jerome H. Powell, has said he would like to see. Still, she added, “the momentum is moving in the right direction.”
The faker KU economic expert said that Sleepy Joe economic recovery is terrible.
We need about 6 million more jobs to restore the economy. If it continues, in about seven months from now, we will have recovered every single job.
If the infrastructure bill passes, the economic recovery will be the greatest recovery in history.

Because the politics of Supreme Court reform have moved very quickly in recent years, and it’s possible to imagine a critical mass of lawmakers rallying behind Court expansion if a majority of the current justices hand down decisions that are likely to outrage Democrats, such as a decision neutralizing what remains of the Voting Rights Act.

CONGRESS is required to EXPAND the court. The President cannot expand the court unilaterally.
We need a third Reconstruction.
The debate on protecting voting rights and on the filibuster in Congress is only part of an assault on democracy underway nationally. Halfway through 2021, the very Republican extremists who continue to cry wolf about a “stolen” presidential election have introduced close to 400 voter suppression bills in 48 states (including West Virginia), 20 of which have already been signed into law. As journalist Ari Berman recently tweeted all too accurately, this wave of reactionary legislation is the “greatest assault on voting rights since the end of Reconstruction in the late 1870s.”
When history circles back on itself like this, it’s worth paying attention, especially since the years following the Civil War represented the most significant wave of democracy this country had ever seen. For almost a decade during that First Reconstruction, formerly enslaved men and women forged fragile but powerful political coalitions with poor whites across the South, leading state governments to advance the rights of dispossessed millions, while securing key federal legislation and constitutional amendments that would forever change the country.

Rabbi Shlomo Noginksi was stabbed outside Shaloh House, a Jewish Day School and synagogue, in Brighton, Boston, at 1.19pm on Thursday
Boston Police Department have since arrested Khaled Awad, 24, of Brighton, on suspicion of carrying out the stabbing
Rabbi Noginski, who is a teacher and rabbi at the Shaloh House, was reportedly sat outside when the suspect launched his attack on him
Awad allegedly approached the rabbi, drew a firearm and attempted to force him in the car and kidnap him before stabbing him in eight times
The rabbi's family believe he was targeted in the attack because he is Jewish

Advice And Concent is not legislation you stupid right wing terrorists and again the racist rodent bastard Jimmy Hitler Jr.
I know that, asshole.
The House of Representatives are the only folks who can legislate an EXPANSION of the court. If they do, then and only then can a President appoint the justices.
A vacancy must exist for the President to appoint. Sans a vacancy, all Biden* can do is what he does best, sit there with his thumb in his ass.
As usual you are fucking WRONG, alky live asshole.
Advice and concent
It is where the president has the power to nominate people for important jobs in government with the advice and consent of the senate. This process is called advice and consent.
LMAO @ the alky who is so blatantly and obviously WRONG, but he digs his heels in anyway.
Heh.
Poor alky. He can't even go outside and play.

"Under the Constitution, the number of Supreme Court Justices is not fixed, and Congress can change it by passing an act that is then signed by the President. Article III, Section 1, starts with a broad direction to Congress to establish the court system: “The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.”
https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/packing-the-supreme-court-explained
If the court can be packed by the President and the President alone, FDR would've done it years ago, and Biden* would've done it already by Executive Order.

Climate Scientists Slam Exxon Mobil
July 2, 2021 at 1:17 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Politico:
“A recently leaked draft report written by some of the world’s top climate scientists blamed disinformation and lobbying campaigns — including by Exxon Mobil — for undermining government efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increasing the dangers of global warming to society.
“Details from the leaked report began emerging last week, days before a British television broadcaster aired a video showing a top Exxon Mobil lobbyist admitting the company worked with ‘shadow groups’ that engaged in disinformation campaigns.”

Yep, RRB,
Is correct.
The laws attacking democracy fall into three categories.
Making voting more difficult or burdensome.
1: This includes limiting mail-in and early voting
2: imposing onerous ID requirements, closing or restricting hours at polling places
3: reducing the number of drop boxes that can be used
4: and increasing the ability of partisan poll monitors to challenge and potentially harass voters.
5: Seizing control of the regulation of voting procedures.
This includes limiting the responsibility and power of secretaries of state, promoting the power of partisan appointees more likely to do the bidding of their party, placing sharper oversight on election administrators and workers, and even creating criminal penalties for election officials exercising their judgment.
6: Seizing the power to decide who wins elections regardless of the actual vote. This includes placing the ability to overturn outcomes not acceptable to the party in power in the hands of the legislature. The unprecedented effort here is to deny the will of voters and change the outcome of elections when necessary to maintain control.

I've been doing business with a lot of car dealers lately. Thanks to our idiotic covid lockdowns the supply chain is so fucked up they have no inventory to sell.
But at least we're rid of bad orange man so it's supposed to be "worth it."

They can't accept the fact that the USSC has found Arizona's voting laws and procedures constitution and in conformance with the voting rights act.
And for all the crazy talk about expanding the court, they forget the power of precedence. And Arizona v. Democrat National Committee was a landmark decision. It will be hard for subsequent courts to overturned.

Awesome KD, I'm glad she's happy. I was at a Toyota dealer just yesterday. Myself and my engineer both drive Tundra's and when we both pulled in I thought the sales guys were going to get in a fist fight over who got to wait on us. Turns out we were there to see the GM and IT Director. And we couldn't have traded up if we wanted to. Not a Tundra in sight and no idea when new ones were coming in.
But hey, bad orange man was worth it, right?

Yep.
Because the truth is undeniable – our ruling caste is beyond salvage. Our institutions are beyond saving. The current conflict is really them holding on, fearfully, to power that is slipping through the fingers of their soft, girlish hands. The key indicator is their norm-breaking – the norms they touted for so long about free speech, due process, and self-determination were all fine right up until the outsiders started to use them to threaten the insiders’ positions and prestige. All these attacks on free speech are really desperate attempts to do by force what they can’t do by persuasion, and they can’t do it by persuasion anymore because they so completely and manifestly suck.
When you have to try to intimidate and gag your opponents, you aren’t winning. You are losing. And it might work for a while, but in the long-term you are only putting off your inevitable ejection from power. And ticking off their enemy – us – in the process.
Oh, we’ll have our vengeance.
The next victorious Republican – one will come even if we detour back to another squish for a cycle or so – will be ruthless. He will understand that the enemy is serious about holding on to power and that means holding us by our throats. He will understand that to win means to take the fight to them, to ignore the whining and howling and to impose fair election laws, free us to carry weapons, ban the cancer that is CRT, and do all the other things Democrats fear. And he will do it without the baggage and the mean tweets that let the left shift the argument from “Conservative Policy Good” to “Orange Man Bad.”
He will not care about earning their favor. He will care about payback. He will be woke, conservative woke, and for the first time in a long time, Democrats will be right about something, for they shall fear him.

What do Covid lockdowns, energy re-dependence in “pursuit” of the chimera of “green” energy, BLM/Antifa/OFA "mostly peaceful" protests, and decriminalization of low-level crimes have in common with open borders, reversing Trump’s Middle East peace advances, and 70 years of wars we refuse to win all have in common?
Chaos.
Why?
Because when chaos serves the State, the State will encourage chaos.
What do those who work in government want? More government. What’s the most government? A police state. What do you get when you have day after week after month after year of riots, murders, lockdowns and lawlessness? Voters demanding more security: a police state. Chaos is a win-win for government. Why else do you think we have so much of it?
Does any reasonable adult think that releasing thousands of violent felons can possibly have a result other than chaos? Or that the loss of tens of thousands of good-paying energy jobs and the millions of wage jobs (retail, restaurant, transportation) that evaporate with them can result in anything else? Or that anything other than chaos will come out of the restart of the ever-failing “two-state” “peace process” in the Middle East? Or that no-bail and shoplifting-isn’t-a-crime policies will result in low/no crime? Or that our constant wars for, literally, generations, introduce into foreign lands anything other than chaos? Or the accelerating influx of illiterate immigrants to a first world economy can result in anything else?
Welfare does what? Pays people not to work. The absurd Covid lockdowns served no medical or health-related purposes – and we know now that the political establishment knew this all along. What do unemployed people do? Those working to further the Universal Basic Income agenda tell us these people will be free to express themselves in art, literature, music, to be the people they can become if they no longer are “locked into” a workforce.
Seen a lot of new art, music or literature in the past 16 months? No? Hmm… What have we seen in that time frame? Kenosha. Portland. Chicago. Riots, lootings, arson, murder. What do people do if they aren’t working? Look around: They burn cities, murder innocents and generally get in trouble. "Idle hands" has been a saying for millennia... for a reason...
This past month, evidently in celebration of Juneteenth (an odd holiday for blacks and Democrats to honor as it celebrates the day Republicans freed the last of the Democrats’ slaves, in Texas), a peaceful twenty-something Puerto Rican couple in Chicago was dragged from their car and shot dead on the street. Many people watched. So did their children. Not violating the community standards of Facebook, this horrific murder was broadcast on that morally-upright social media platform for the world to see.
What was this shooting representative of?
Chaos.

The Sleepy Joe Biden Biden economy is winning!!
Stocks rose on Friday and the S&P 500 hit another record high after the June jobs report showed an accelerating recovery for the U.S. labor market.
The broad market index rose 0.7%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.8% to notch its own record. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added about 160 points. The S&P 500 has now risen for seven consecutive sessions, its longest winning streak since August.
Solid moves by major tech stocks helped support the overall market on Friday, with shares of Apple and Salesforce rising by nearly 2% and 1.3%, respectively.
For the week, the Nasdaq Composite rose 2%, while the S&P 500 and Dow climbed 1.7% and 1.1%, respectively.
The economy added 850,000 jobs last month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones were expecting an addition of 706,000. The print topped the 559,000 jobs created in May.
“This is a strong report and should be taken as a sign of things to come for an accelerating labor market,” Aberdeen Standard Investments deputy chief economist James McCann said in a note.
Angelo Kourkafas, an investment strategist at Edward Jones, said that the report showed solid growth but wouldn’t change the Fed’s policy path, hitting a sweet spot for markets.
“I think it was one of these goldilocks-type of reports, because hiring accelerated -- which is a positive sign for the second half and the recovery -- but not so much that it would trigger a reaction of an accelerated timeline for the Federal Reserve to start tapering,” Kourkafas said.
In addition to the job gains, average hourly wages rose 0.3% for the month and are up 3.6% year over year, matching expectations.
Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius said that the report eased concerns about a labor shortage.
“I think we also learned that the explanations for the weaker numbers from April and May -- namely that seasonal probably weighing on job growth and probably some impact from the unemployment benefits on labor supply -- that those were pretty good explanations. So I think it was reassuring, in that sense,” Hatzius said, adding that the unemployment rate coming in higher than expected showed that the recovery still had a long way to go.
On Friday, shares of Boeing fell 1%, weighing on the Dow, after a 737 cargo plane made an emergency landing off the coast of Honolulu. IBM’s stock fell 5% after the company announced that president and former Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst was stepping down.
Even with the recent strength for stocks, market strategists say that uncertainty about the Fed and the upcoming earnings season could keep stocks from making major gains in the near term.
“I think there’s less major catalysts now. The market is still very much concerned about the Fed’s reaction function,” said Max Gokhman, head of asset allocation at Pacific Life Fund Advisors, adding that he thought there was still a lot of slack in the labor market.
The U.S. markets will be closed on Monday for the July 4 holiday.

Flashing an “ANTI-WHITE MANIA” graphic on screen, Fox host Tucker Carlson declared on June 24 that something must be done “to save this country” from the scourge of critical race theory “before we become Rwanda.”
Carlson’s barely veiled reference to a genocide that killed more than half a million people invoked images of violent racial conflict in the United States. The segment also came on the heels of Carlson’s full-throated embrace of the “great replacement” conspiracy theory on April 8 -- echoing a belief long held by white nationalists -- that a wave of “Third World” invaders is coming to replace you and reshape your country, and you, the audience, should do something about it. The segment drew widespread condemnation, including a statement from the Anti-Defamation League CEO calling for Carlson’s removal from Fox.
Carlson has often used his show to launder white nationalist ideology, and his recent attachment to the “great replacement” conspiracy theory, “white genocide” narratives, and race war fearmongering is the culmination of years of violent and racist rhetoric

These people are f****** crazy.
Republicans would do well to abandon their longtime, reflexive loyalty to the FBI. With all the talk of defunding the police, it’s clear the nation’s most powerful police department is a threat to civil liberties and the rule of law. Maybe it’s time to defund the FBI.
Forty years ago, Republicans cheered when Ronald Reagan, on the eve of his presidential election, called America a shining city on a hill. Now they cheer when Trump parrots Russian propaganda that American democracy is fake. On June 5, in a speech to the North Carolina Republican convention, Trump scoffed, “All over the world, they used to say, ‘Oh, they’re [America] the land of the free, they have great elections.’ We don’t have great elections.” On Saturday, at his rally in Ohio, he said of the 2020 election, “What happened here is what the State Department used to criticize in communist countries. … [T]hey did a North Korean-style turnout.” On Wednesday, as Abbott nodded along, Trump said the United States was becoming a “banana republic” and a “third-world country … because our elections are a mess.”
When you watch this parade of madness and cynicism, it’s tempting to write off the whole GOP. But that’s a mistake. To defeat authoritarianism, we need help from Republicans who believe in a republic. It’s a small faction, but it’s real, and last year in Arizona, it was arguably decisive. In January, 10 House Republicans voted to impeach Trump; in February, seven Senate Republicans voted to convict him. The third-ranking House Republican, Rep. Liz Cheney, sacrificed her leadership post to defend democracy against the former president. Every week, Trump denounces more Republican officeholders. His stated list of Republican enemies includes four senators, three members of the House, two governors, and state legislators in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Last Friday, Trump went after Reagan, sneering that the 40th president’s endorsements, unlike Trump’s, “didn’t mean anything.” The more Trump talks, the more enemies he makes. Every one of those enemies can be part of the alliance for democracy.
True conservatives can save the American dream.
C'mon man.
Heaven on earth to the left
That is the way to understand our liberal friends and their midwit BIPOCs in the mainstream media. It cannot be that the criminal culture of fatherless Black males was caused by the Great Society programs that made fathers optional. It cannot be that Section VII of the Civil Rights Act was the starting gun for half a century of anti-white anti-male discrimination. The George Floyds and Michael Browns are innocent victims of police brutality and White oppressors. They must be.
When the promised Heaven on Earth keeps failing to show up, it is never the fault of the ideas of the liberals. It is the Other. That is how to make sense of all the witch-hunting and Reigns of Terror and Great Purges -- yes, and even the worst thing in all history, the Hollywood Blacklist: There must be a fault.
Just don’t even think that the fault begins and ends with the priests and Grand Inquisitors of the Holy Woke Inquisition. Holy Writ is Holy Writ, you white supremacist. C’mon Man.

Another week, another lunacy.
This week’s baton-twirler in the congressional Republicans’ endless parade of horribles is Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona. On the same day NBC News reported that Gosar’s own brother called him a “traitor” for his role in provoking the Jan. 6 insurrection, an invitation appeared online for a fundraiser for Gosar hosted by a well-known white nationalist and Holocaust denier who favors segregation.
The invitation said the fundraiser, with the group America First, was “authorized by Gosar for Congress Committee,” and at first Gosar appeared to confirm its authenticity in a tweet: “Not sure why anyone is freaking out. I’ll say this: there are millions of Gen Z, Y and X conservatives. They believe in America First.” (Gosar had appeared at a gathering of the same group in February and stood by as the same white nationalist bemoaned the loss of America’s “White demographic core.”)
Later in the week, Gosar changed his tune, saying, “There’s no fundraiser scheduled on Friday.” This was suspicious wording (the invitation had said the date was “to be announced July 1st”) but the fig leaf was good enough for Rep. Kevin McCarthy (Calif.). “He says he doesn’t have — that it’s not real. That he doesn’t have anything on his schedule,” the House Republican leader told The Post’s Marianna Sotomayor.
It was just the latest leadership failure for McCarthy, for whom no member’s antics go too far. Fomenting or excusing insurrection? Flirting with white nationalists? Boosting QAnon? The clowns keep piling out of the car — Reps. Lauren Boebert (Colo.), Andrew Clyde (Ga.), Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Mo Brooks (Ala.), Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Louie Gohmert (Tex.), Gosar — and McCarthy does nothing to cancel the act. The only one to draw a rebuke has been Rep. Marjorie “Jewish Space Lasers” Taylor Greene (Ga.), and it was the Democrats who forced her off a committee.
There are always going to be clowns, in any party, in any Congress. The problem here is the ringmaster — or lack thereof. The Post’s Paul Kane this week recalled McCarthy’s vow in 2019 that “action will be taken” against racists in his ranks.
“Two-and-a-half years later, McCarthy has ceded that moral high ground in policing his own caucus,” Kane wrote. “Instead, he has adopted something best called whataboutism.”
What about Ilhan Omar, he’ll say. Well, what about her? The Democratic congresswoman from Minnesota, a naturalized U.S. citizen who emigrated from Somalia, has more than once crossed the line into antisemitism with her criticism of Israel. The difference is her Democratic colleagues have criticized her, and she has changed her tone.
This week on CNN, Omar defended her recent statement that “we have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban,” and she said Jewish Democratic colleagues “haven’t been partners” in seeking justice. After an outcry, she authored a retraction, saying “many of my colleagues — both Jewish and non-Jewish — deeply share that commitment to fighting injustice,” and referencing the prominent role of Jews in the civil rights movement.
McCarthy’s counterpart in the Senate has been only slightly less cowardly. ABC News’s Jonathan Karl, in his new book “Betrayal,” reports that the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell (Ky.), privately urged Trump’s attorney general, Bill Barr, to refute Trump’s unfounded claims of voter fraud. Of course, McConnell didn’t speak out himself, because he cared more about political advantage than preserving democracy. “Look, we need the president in Georgia” for the Senate runoff election, McConnell told Barr. “And so we cannot be frontally attacking him right now.”
With such feeble leadership, the most extreme and least honorable in the Republican ranks have nothing to restrain them as they compete to be the most outrageous.
At the moment, Gosar holds the crown. At a hearing on June 15, he alleged that Ashli Babbitt, the insurrectionist shot dead by Capitol Police on Jan. 6, was “executed” by a police officer “lying in wait” for her. Gosar demanded the name of the officer who pulled the trigger. A month earlier, he described insurrectionists as “peaceful patriots.” In April, Punchbowl News identified him, along with Greene, as creators of the “America First Caucus,” devoted to honoring “Anglo Saxon political traditions.” (Gosar denied involvement as the nascent caucus dissolved amid public outcry.)
Weeks before the Jan. 6 insurrection, one of the “Stop the Steal” organizers claimed that he, Gosar and two other lawmakers “schemed up” the plan to put “maximum pressure on Congress while they were voting” on Jan. 6. Now, there’s this purported white-nationalist fundraiser.
And McCarthy? He’s finally threatening to punish Republican lawmakers — the ones who join a select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack.

Defund the police is working Joe.
"Nearly half of Americans — 48 percent — disapprove of the way Biden is handling crime while only 38 percent approve, according to a Washington Post/ ABC News poll released Friday. Fourteen percent of Americans had no opinion"
Dumb ass. Letting 60,000 plus Federal Felons out of private prisons is pour Jet fuel on the crime fire.
WE know from Roger and James that crime hurt blacks and the poor more.
So you voted for intentional hurting the blacks and the poor, more.
George Floyd had fentanyl in his blood when he died. This suggests that at the very least he must have associated with people of doubtful reputation, and that his commitment to the straight and narrow path was not rock solid. When a person with a long criminal record takes fentanyl, there is at least a prima facie doubt about his innocence, as Professor Le Glaunec calls it as if it were an incontrovertible fact. Of course, it is possible that George Floyd’s resort to fentanyl involved him in no other criminal activity, and that he paid for it honestly (though buying it from criminals) with his hard-earned money; but I doubt that many people would be willing to place a large bet on this point.
In other words, Professor Le Glaunec, who makes much of his dispassionate resort to historical evidence by contrast with his opponent, reveals himself to be at least as parti pris as that opponent. He displays a lack of curiosity about George Floyd that surely derives from his political standpoint. As for the dedication to the memory of George Floyd, it is morally obtuse: for a man does not become good by being wrongfully killed. A mother loves her son because he is her son, not because he is good, and therefore the grief of his family is understandable and easily sympathised with; but for others to turn him into what he was not, a martyr to a cause, is to display at once a moral and an intellectual defect.
The connection between historical explanation and individual morality is nowhere more complex than in Haiti. The victor of Vertières, the former slave Dessalines, was declared dictator for life, with the right to choose his successor, in the very document that announced the independence of Haiti and the freedom of its population. Dessalines then undertook a policy that today would be called genocide: he ordered that every white settler, man, woman, and child killed (about 6000 in all) who remained in the country after the last of the French troops should be killed, and his orders were carried out. The truly atrocious conduct of the French explained this genocide no doubt, but did it justify it? To answer in the affirmative is to claim that there are good, or justified, genocides; to answer no is to be accused of a lack of psychological insight into the righteous anger of Dessalines and others, or of a lack of sympathy for the state of mind of the victims of slavery.
The death of George Floyd was similarly wrong; but that does not mean that the reaction to it was right.
A drug addict and black man.
Why should anyone care? Just another dead n****!
Biden Threatens Nuclear War . . . Against His Own People
If the administration comes for people’s guns, he will set in motion what he aims to prevent.
By Christopher Roach
July 2, 2021
According to supporters, Biden was going to restore boring predictability to the country after the chaos of the Trump years. But crime, racial friction, and partisan politics are all getting worse. Defying his stated goal of restoring social peace, he has reached for the one issue that guarantees a huge political fight and can only succeed in uniting the fractured Right: gun control.
The unserious proposal is a hodgepodge of rules rooted in the anti-gun myth of rogue gun dealers and glaring loopholes. Because most criminals get their guns illegally, this latest stunt won’t affect
Today, Biden is boxed in by his party’s race-based criticism of the criminal justice system. Rather than dealing with a real problem, he invokes the phantom bogeyman of the hour: the specter of right-wing terrorism, which apparently has in reserve every suburban dad who legally owns an AR-15.
When introducing his gun control proposals, Biden said something that is, frankly, insane:
The Second Amendment, from the day it was passed, limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own. You couldn’t buy a cannon. Those who say the blood of lib— the blood of patriots,’ you know, and all the stuff about how we’re going to have to move against the government. Well, the tree of liberty is not watered with the blood of patriots. What’s happened is that there have never been—if you wanted or if you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons.
Biden is wrong on the facts. There were no classes of weapons banned at the time of founding. Rather, laws of the time required every man to be armed so that he could be of service to the militia. The only notable restrictions were laws aimed at restricting free blacks—not exactly the crowning achievement of the early American Republic. His broader point was not that laws or elections are a sufficient bulwark of our liberty, but rather that the military is de facto invincible. This conceit also falls apart under scrutiny.
America’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the earlier war in Vietnam, show that Biden fails both early American history and very recent military history. An armed populace is as formidable today as it was in 1776. Peasants with rusty AK-47s and homemade bombs have managed to tie up the world’s most powerful military three times in the last 50 years. Other nations have fared little better. The things that make a modern military effective—extreme firepower and sophisticated technology—are generally of limited use in counterinsurgency.
United States law only permits the military to be employed domestically in limited circumstances. Law enforcement is the preferred tool for dealing with domestic threats, not least because our legal system includes ample protections for the accused. The Vietnam-era Weather Underground and the Symbionese Liberation Army, while imagining themselves as guerillas waging a war against the American government, were brought down by ordinary law enforcement.
Even when military forces have been used for riot control, the results can be politically disastrous. The bombing of Guernica in the Spanish Civil War became an international cause célèbre. In the run up to the Iraq War, the neoconservatives never ceased telling us how Saddam Hussein gassed his own people. President Trump similarly called Bashar al-Assad of Syria a “gas killing animal” to justify airstrikes against his regime.
Joe Biden seems confused about what an appropriate response would be to a real insurgency. Nuclear weapons cannot distinguish combatants from noncombatants—they would kill millions by design, and poison the soil for generations. Are the American people to be annihilated in order to preserve “our democracy?” Who will be left?
been no hand-written notes from General Mark Milley reminding servicemen of their “oath to the American people.” He’s too busy reading Marx, I guess.
In normal times, one could shrug off Biden’s strange words. He is, after all, prone to gaffes and incoherent statements, and there are many institutional safeguards surrounding the president. But consider the context. After the events of January 6, the organizing principle of much of the ruling class has become fear and hostility towards vaguely defined domestic extremists, variously labeled as “traitors” and “insurgents.” At the same time, the military’s leadership has walked away from its non-partisan heritage and become a key pillar of the deep state, embracing partisan fads and treating ordinary Americans and their beliefs as suspect. These are ominous developments.
Biden would do himself and the country a favor if he spent some time studying our country’s founding, along with the “people’s wars” of the 20th century. These conflicts are invariably brutal, often persist for a very long time, and their outcomes are uncertain.
But they are never inevitable.
A lighter touch, regional autonomy, and power sharing have been used effectively in other nations to diffuse tensions. The January 6 protest, though greatly exaggerated, should be a “canary in the coal mine,” revealing serious disaffection among the populace. Biden could cement an important legacy for himself if he steered his party towards real moderation and championed federalism to permit mutual accommodation between red and blue states.
Unfortunately, Biden and his inner circle seem dedicated to imposing aggressive leftism everywhere along with a self-fulfilling prophecy of confronting armed domestic resistance.
If he comes for people’s guns, he will set in motion what he aims to prevent.

Supreme Court turns down petition from Christian florist in same-sex wedding case

The Supreme Court on Friday turned down a petition from a Christian florist who refused to create flower arrangements for a same-sex couple, declining for now to take another case asking when anti-discrimination laws must give way to religious convictions.
Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Neil M. Gorsuch indicated they would have accepted the case. But it requires four justices for a grant, and that means none of the court’s other three conservatives were willing to go along.
Case of Washington state florist creates another opportunity for court
It just seems that Lil Schitty's anti gay cake baker opinion is not as solid as he thought as the conservative SCOTUS turned down very similar case about flowers!!! Dayum......I guess the fact you are in business does not give you the right to blame god for not doing your job!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/courts_law/supreme-court-turns-down-petition-from-christian-florist-in-same-sex-wedding-case/2021/07/02/c0367a62-db3b-11eb-bb9e-70fda8c37057_story.html
A unanimous Washington state Supreme Court found that the florist, Barronelle Stutzman, violated the Washington Consumer Protection Act and Washington Law Against Discrimination, a state civil rights law.
In 2013, Stutzman told a friend, Robert Ingersoll, that she would not create arrangements for his wedding to his longtime companion, Curt Freed. Stutzman said she held Ingersoll’s hand and told him said she had to decline his request because of her “relationship with Jesus Christ.”
She was fined for violating the state’s law that prohibits businesses from discriminating because of sexual orientation. The conservative legal
oganization Alliance for Defending Freedom has been trying to get the Supreme Court to accept the case ever since.
It was seen as a natural follow-up to the court’s 2018 decision in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, in which the court sided with a baker who would not create a wedding cake for a same-sex couple celebrating their union.
As news of VP harris' operations being in shambles, we're reminded that 14 other candidates did better than her in the primary and why she did so poorly.

Pennsylvania GOP May ‘Audit’ Last Year’s Election

“Following in the footsteps of Arizona’s Senate Republicans, Pennsylvania’s Republican-controlled Senate is considering an investigation into how last year’s presidential election was conducted, a quest fueled by former President Donald Trump’s baseless claims that fraud was behind his loss in the battleground state,” the AP reports.

Report finds extremist right-wing rhetoric in the US is going down a darker path
Alex Henderson, AlterNet
July 03, 2021
Fox News host Tucker Carlson
Because the right-wing media are so competitive, countless pundits are resorting to increasingly over-the-top rhetoric in the hope of juicing their ratings or traffic. The conservative pundits of the 1970s and 1980s — most famously, George Will and the late National Review founder William F. Buckley — were downright tranquil compared to the far-right extremism one finds on Newsmax TV or One America News on a daily basis. And journalist Adam Gabbatt, in an article published by The Guardian this week, reports that critics of this inflammatory rhetoric fear it will lead to violence at a time when political tensions are extremely high in the United States.
According to Gabbatt, "The extremist rhetoric from right-wing news networks and some elected Republicans is 'intensifying,' experts have warned, after a Republican congressman compared Democrats to Nazis and a hard-right news host suggested tens of thousands of Americans should be executed. Right-wing TV personalities, including Fox News' Tucker Carlson, and Republican politicians have seized every opportunity to rail against Democrats and liberals in recent months, with race increasingly coming to the fore."
Gabbatt notes that Fox News' Tucker Carlson has said that Democrats want the U.S. to "become Rwanda," and Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania compared Democrats to Nazis and said, "They are not the loyal opposition…. They want to destroy the country."
We may be going through the most dangerous situation since the civil war.
Case Against Trump’s Company Echoes Father’s Tactics
July 3, 2021 at 8:31 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 0 Comments
New York Times:
“The first criminal case against the former president’s company features no grand schemes to launder money through Russia, hide millions offshore or commit other offenses commensurate with a self-described global business empire headquartered in a Fifth Avenue skyscraper. Rather, the details of the charges brought by a Manhattan grand jury have a rather low-rent feel that one might associate with a scrappy real-estate operation born in Brooklyn and Queens.
“Which, of course, it is.
“The Trump Organization, for all the puffery of its leader, has always been essentially a family business, tightly controlled by Mr. Trump and a small number of relatives and trusted associates, including Mr. Weisselberg. Although the company has about 3,500 employees worldwide, most are lower-tier workers at golf resorts and hotels and only 122 made $100,000 or more in 2018.”
Trump to Hold Florida Rally
July 3, 2021 at 8:26 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 2 Comments
USA Today:
“Donald Trump’s campaign-style rally in Florida Saturday comes at a fraught time for the former president: While the organization bearing his name in New York was indicted this week, he is also facing a potential rivalry with Florida governor and protege Ron DeSantis.
“Trump revisits Florida, a state he won twice, with some Republicans already talking about the 2024 presidential race – and expressing support for DeSantis for the GOP nomination over the ex-president. DeSantis has scored well in early straw polls conducted at high-profile meetings, the Conservative Political Action Conference and the Western Conservative Summit.
“Florida’s top Republican, however, will not be at Saturday’s rally.”
This weekend may go down in history as the most dangerous situation since the original 4th of July.
A bizarre incident is playing out Saturday morning in Wakefield, Massachusetts. Local police are saying that "during a motor vehicle stop, several heavily armed men claiming to be from a group that does not recognize our laws exited their vehicles and fled into the woodline" near I-95.
"Approximately 8 males fled into the woods carrying rifles and handguns and appear to be contained in the wooded area adjacent to the highway," the Wakefield Police Department said in a statement. "No threats were made, but these men should be considered armed and dangerous."
Massachusetts State Police, who are also on the scene, tweeted early Saturday: "We have several armed persons accounted for at this scene on Rt 95. They are refusing to comply with orders to provide their information and put down their weapons. We are asking residents of Wakefield and Reading to shelter in place at this time."
At around 6:40 a.m. ET, state police announced that two suspects were arrested by members of The Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council (NEMLEC) in Wakefield. Police took them into custody and transported them to one of their barracks.
"The situation is ongoing w/remaining members of the group. We continue to work to resolve the situation peacefully," they tweeted.

Republicans Divided on Midterm Message

The Hill:
“The 2022 elections are still more than a year away, but congressional Republicans are wrestling with their strategy: Rally behind a central message — complete Donald Trump’s wall and stop the surge of migrants crossing the southern border — or attack President Biden and Hill Democrats on a broad range of disparate issues, from socialism, “defund the police,” and inflation to China and critical race theory.
“At the moment, that 2022 strategy is in flux, with some Republicans warning that a narrower message, one focused on the border and economy, is the key to winning back the House and Senate next year.”

“House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has asserted he’d ‘have no problem talking to anybody’ about his conversations with then-President Donald Trump on January 6. That proposition may soon be put to the test,” CNN reports.
“McCarthy is just one of several Republicans who could get caught in the crosshairs as the Democratic-led investigation into the Capitol riot unfolds over the coming months, teeing up the possibility of partisan showdowns and raising questions about a conflict-of-interest if any potential witnesses are tapped for one of the five GOP spots on the select committee.
“Yet, Republicans too have their own emerging plan once McCarthy names his picks: They want to focus on the steps that Speaker Nancy Pelosi took — or didn’t take — to secure the Capitol that day.”

Arizona GOP Pressured Officials to Stop Counting Votes
July 2, 2021 at 4:11 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
113 Comments
New records obtained by the Arizona Republic reveal the behind-the scenes efforts by Donald Trump, his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, and state GOP Chair Kelli Ward to pressure the county supervisors, who make up the elected body that oversees elections in the state’s most populous county.
After Maricopa County Supervisor Clint Hickman asked Arizona GOP Chair Kelli Ward to clarify what she meant when she asked for the “transparency of a human evaluation,” Ward replied:
“We need you to stop the counting.”
Arizona is even worse than we knew before.
The Associated Press
PHOENIX — Newly released records show the top Republicans in Arizona's largest county dodged calls from Donald Trump and his allies in the aftermath of the 2020 election, as the then-president sought to prevent the certification of Joe Biden's victory in key battleground states.
The records — including voicemails and text messages — shed light on another state where Trump, his attorneys and others mounted a behind-the-scenes pressure campaign on Republican officials overseeing elections. Similarly, days before Congress certified Biden's win on Jan. 6, Trump pressed Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to find enough votes to overturn Biden's win there.
Trump tried to reach Clint Hickman, then the chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, on Jan. 3, shortly before midnight in Washington and hours after news broke of Trump's call with Raffensperger.
“Hello, sir. This is the White House operator I was calling to let you know that the president’s available to take your call if you’re free,” the White House operator said in a voicemail. “If you could please give us a call back, sir, that’d be great. You have a good evening.”
Hickman told The Arizona Republic, which first received the records from Maricopa County, that he did not return the phone call. He said he presumed Trump would try to pressure him to change election results or discuss election conspiracies as he had done with Raffensperger.
“I’m not going to tape a president, so I’m not going to talk to a president. … I didn’t want to have a very rough call to my home on a Sunday night," Hickman told the Republic.
Hickman and the rest of the Board of Supervisors, which is controlled 4-1 by Republicans, have aggressively defended the vote count in Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix and 60 percent of Arizona's voters. They have maintained the outcome was not affected by fraud or irregularities.
State Senate Republicans used their subpoena power to take control of all 2.1 million ballots and the machines that counted them. A firm led by a Trump supporter who has shared far-fetched conspiracy theories is overseeing an audit for
The most aggressive pressure came from Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward, who tried to persuade Republicans on the board to question the election results, even as the officials tried to instill confidence in the them. At one point, she texted Hickman, "We need you to stop the counting.”
She tried to persuade Hickman and Supervisors Steve Chucri and Bill Gates to call Trump attorney Sidney Powell, who filed lawsuits around the country alleging the election conspiracies. The lawsuits were all thrown out.
Early Nov. 20, when the board was scheduled to certify Maricopa County's election results, Ward texted Gates, “Can we talk today now that the lawsuit is over? There are so many abnormalities that must be adjudicated. I know the Republican board doesn’t want to be remembered as the entity who led the charge to certify a fraudulent election.”
After sending information alleging fraud — and shortly before the board voted to accept the election results — she texted him, “Sounds like your fellow Repubs are throwing in the towel. Very sad. And unAmerican.”
She texted Chucri, "Seems you’re playing for the wrong team and people will remember. WRONG team.”
The records also include voicemails from Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani trying to reach several of the GOP supervisors. Chucri met with Giuliani when he was in Phoenix to air Trump's baseless fraud theories.
“If you get a chance, would you please give me a call,” Giuliani said in a message to Gates. “I have a few things I’d like to talk over with you. Maybe we can get this thing fixed up. You know, I really think it’s a shame that Republicans sort of are both in this kind of situation. And I think there may be a nice way to resolve this for everybody.”
The vote fraud was conducted by the Republicans, not the Democrats.
Media matters found out that CRT nonsense was started in 2012.
A few weeks before he died, Breitbart News founder Andrew Breitbart teased his masterplan to take down President Barack Obama ahead of the 2012 election. In part, the plan relied on associating Democrats with the little known academic study of systemic racism called “critical race theory” and rendering it radical and toxic enough to damage them in the upcoming election cycle.
“This election we’re going to vet him from his college days to show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008,” Breitbart declared during a speech at Conservative Political Action Conference. “The videos are going to come out.”
The most-hyped video among the ones Breitbart promised was ironically already publicly available and had been reported on during the 2008 election. It finally surfaced after Breitbart’s death in early March 2012. The footage showed a law-school era Obama who was then the president of the Harvard Law Review talking about and hugging an academic named Derrick Bell at a 1990 protest. The video was supposedly evidence of Obama embracing — literally in this case — extreme anti-white views.
As Joel Pollak, then-editor-in-chief of Breitbart News, would tell CNN’s Soledad O’Brien, “Derrick Bell is the Jeremiah Wright of academia. He passed away last year, but during his lifetime, he developed a theory called critical race theory which holds that the civil rights movement was a sham and that white supremacy is the order and it must be
CitationFrom the March 8, 2012 edition of CNN's Starting Point
Ultimately, the smear attempt flopped. But it marked conservative media’s first crack — led by Breitbart, Steve Bannon (who at the time was a board member of Breitbart News Network), and their employees — at poisoning the specific phrase “critical race theory” and seeding it in the wider public discourse.
This attempt may also partly explain why the current fearmongering about critical race theory spread so fast and successfully. Right-wing media and activists, as well as their peers at conservative think tanks like the Heritage Foundation and the Manhattan Institute, seem to know exactly what they are doing because they have dusted off the same playbook from 2012. And they even share some of the same funders.
They wanted to accuse then President "Olinski" Obama of being anti-white President.
The same tactics were are witnessing today.

Breitbart is saying that the MSM and the Democrats are hiding Sleepy Joe's mental illness, is trying to elect the first acknowledged gay President in history.
Vice President Kamala Harris is facing White House sabotage as the establishment media lay out Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg’s path to the presidency.
With Harris’s history of “mistreatment of employees and dissent” before entering the White House, the establishment media have begun reporting on the infighting and “sabotage” impacting the office of the vice president.
“It’s a whisper campaign designed to sabotage her,” Biden’s senior adviser Cedric Richmond said, admitting Friday to the Hill the infighting is real.
Axios reported Friday Harris’s aides are panicked that she is “fucking up” and perhaps “shouldn’t be the heir apparent” for 2024’s presidential race because she “could not defeat whomever the Republican Party puts up.”
On Wednesday, a White House staffer told Politico Harris’s aides “are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses and it’s an abusive environment.”

A bill awaiting the Illinois governor’s signature would require schools to provide free menstruation products in both girls' and boys' bathrooms for grades 4 through 12.
Currently, Illinois requires tampons to be provided to students who need them, but the supplies are kept in the nurse’s office.
State Rep. Kathleen Willis, D-Addison, a co-sponsor of the proposal, said products such as tampons and sanitary napkins are needed in both girls’ and boys’ bathrooms in order to address the health needs of transgender students.
“If you are biologically a female, but identifying as a male, you’re going to menstruate and you’re going to need these products,” Willis said during floor debate.
