The first president we have had since polling began with Eisenhower who never could get even to 50% in the approval ratings lost by millions and you find that incredulous.

“Thou shall not commit adultery, unless you are King Trump, who can have affairs with a Playboy bunny and a porn star following the birth of his son and have unwanted sexual encounters with at least 20 other women.”
“Thou shall not lie, unless you are King Trump who, for the record, lies and misinforms, on average, more than six times a day.”
“Thou shall not steal, unless you are King Trump who has bamboozled and misled and swindled thousands of workers, students, and associates during his business career.”

Tell your local election officials who are protecting those ballots like a mama bear protecting their cubs. ________
Strange, Ch. I thought the local election officials who kept insisting that theirs was the fairest election possible were Republicans. I am not aware of any local lection officials here in Illinois who are resisting an audit. Or that there are any serious demands for one.
Aren't you going to be ashamed when future generations ask you why you chose to believe the lie?
FORBES ELECTION 2020|Jul 2, 2021,03:28pm EDT|10,687 views After Arizona Audit, Is Pennsylvania Next? State Sen. Reportedly Begins Push For Privately Funded Election Probe Alison Durkee Forbes Staff
TOPLINE Pennsylvania Republican senators could launch a privately funded audit of the state’s election results similar to the controversial partisan recount taking place in Maricopa County, Arizona, as the Associated Press reports a leading state senator is taking steps to start a Pennsylvania investigation after visiting the Arizona audit.
Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano, a Republican who chairs the Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee and is a potential future gubernatorial candidate, was one of three Pennsylvania lawmakers to visit the Arizona audit in June and has said he wants Pennsylvania to hold its own “forensic audit” of the state’s results.
The AP reports Mastriano briefed Republican state senators on Wednesday on his plan for an audit in the state and has asked a law firm whether a privately funded “oversight investigation” akin to the Arizona audit would be permissible under state law.
The law firm wrote in its response to Mastriano Tuesday that “Pennsylvania law does not prohibit” state lawmakers from “accepting or receiving” private funds for such an investigation, according to a copy of the letter viewed by the AP.
The aim of the Pennsylvania audit would be to “develop legislation which will enhance voter participation and election integrity,” according to the law firm’s letter.
Former President Donald Trump has publicly pressured the state Senate’s GOP leadership to launch an audit, and several other state senators have signaled their openness to an investigation.
Pennsylvania Republicans had tried to force a measure into the state’s budget that would have helped facilitate an election audit by allocating money to establishing a Bureau of Election Audits, but Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf vetoed that provision on Wednesday.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR The Arizona Senate launched its partisan audit by issuing subpoenas to take possession of ballots and voting machines, which they then turned over to private companies running the audit. Pennsylvania senators could take a similar approach, rather than passing legislation that would have to go through the Pennsylvania House and Wolf. Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa, a Democrat, told the AP Senate Democrats could challenge subpoenas in both the state Senate and in court, however, and it’s unclear whether Mastriano could issue subpoenas through the committee he chairs, as it’s typically a different committee that handles elections.
CHIEF CRITICS The Pennsylvania audit push has been criticized by state officials on both sides of the aisle. Democrats like Wolf and Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro have slammed the potential audit as well as Republicans like Philadelphia City Commissioner Al Schmidt, who said on CNN it would be “reckless” for Pennsylvania to launch a similar probe to Arizona. “I don’t know why you would want to repeat what’s going on in Arizona anyplace across the country,” Schmidt said, criticizing the Arizona probe as being carried out with a “partisan political agenda.” Pennsylvania state Rep. Seth Grove, a Republican who leads the state House committee overseeing elections, has ruled out the Pennsylvania House of Representatives pushing for an audit, saying in June the House “will not be authorizing any further audits on any previous election.”
SURPRISING FACT The Pennsylvania government has already completed a risk-limiting audit of the state’s election results, which affirmed President Joe Biden received more votes than Trump.
KEY BACKGROUND The Arizona audit, which first began in April, has raised significant concerns for such issues as a lack of transparency, privacy concerns, questions about how it’s being funded and the fact it’s being run by Cyber Ninjas, a private firm whose CEO has no elections experience and has spread conspiracy theories about election fraud. The Justice Department has also suggested the audit may violate federal law by taking ballots out of election officials’ possession. The recount of more than two million ballots will not affect the vote count or pose any risk to Biden’s win in the state, but critics fear the probe will undermine public trust in the election results and democratic process.
While polling has shown most Arizonans are not in favor of the audit, the Arizona recount has nevertheless spurred a new wave of interest from lawmakers nationwide in launching their own investigations.
Legislators from numerous states visited Arizona to witness the audit taking place and Wisconsin Republicans have also launched an investigation into their election. In addition to Pennsylvania, efforts to start up new audits have also moved forward in other states like Georgia and Michigan.
TANGENT While Mastriano and other Republican lawmakers across the country have pushed for “forensic audits” into the election results, election experts have said such an investigation would not actually be possible. Forensic investigations have typically referred to investigations tracing crimes back to individual transactions or people, Georgia Public Broadcasting notes, which is impossible with elections where ballots are secret and not tied to people’s identities. “A lot of the election-deniers have been falling back on this term ‘forensic audit.’ I think it's a really good question to ask them, ‘Tell me exactly what a forensic audit means from your perspective,’ because this term doesn't actually have meaning as most of these folks are using it,” David Becker, executive director and founder of the Center for Election Innovation and Research, said during a media briefing this week.
I HAVE BOLDFACED SOME OF THE PARTS THAT SHOW HOW DISHONEST YOU ARE, CH.
Pennsylvania Republicans had tried to force a measure into the state’s budget that would have helped facilitate an election audit by allocating money to establishing a Bureau of Election Audits, but Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf vetoed that provision on Wednesday.
Huh. One wonders what Wolfe, et. al. are afraid of.
election experts have said such an investigation would not actually be possible.
So let's invite these "experts" to testify, under oath, and explain in excruciatingly granular detail exactly why "such an investigation would not actually be possible..."
...rather than dismiss the idea with some bullshit declaration.
The only reason I can imagine for them not to perceive that is that they are locked in a philosophy that denies the validity of all other philosophies. Or if you prefer, in a cult.
Any philosophy that says “and it’s invalid to disagree with us. And if you express an opinion/idea/analysis contrary to ours you are a hater who hates” is a totalitarian philosophy. It might not have armies or the control of governments (spoiler, it does though in the US…. well, you’ll see) but if it had them it would already be stacking bodies several deep.
[...]
And so–
And so looking at their actions gives you a curious double vision. I said before that I feel like they’re trying to establish the Soviet Union as the Berlin wall is coming down. That’s still true, but everything they do is like that.
Look, they believe they have the majority of people, and yet they massively rig elections. Then they run around telling us we can’t investigate, because that will weaken belief in elections. Yeah. Because “shut up peasant and believe the impossible numbers” builds confidence. They locked the entire country down for a severe flu, on nothing much. They are trying to get everyone to take a vaccine that is not needed for most and makes little sense for anyone but the most at risk (and maybe not for them, since I suspect we already had herd immunity); they are destroying the cities they hold; they are amping the indoctrination in schools to the point even suburban parents finally see it. They are demanding loyalty oaths and Maoist struggle sessions in corporations.
OAN Newsroom aka Thecoldheartedtruth UPDATED 7:50 PM PT – Sunday, July 4, 2021
President Donald Trump held a campaign-style rally at the Sarasota Fairgrounds in Florida. Crowds gathered well before the sunrise on Saturday to enter the long-awaited Save America rally.
Taking the podium, Trump condemned the radical left and their intent to defund police departments by slamming Democrats for the mayhem they have brought to their cities. The 45th president urged the crowd to vote red for law, order and justice to be reinstated within the nation.
In addition, Trump took aim at the justice system for targeting people based on their political standing and argued they only seek to prosecute him as well as other Republicans. He went on to slam the Biden administration by comparing his accomplishments while in office.
“But now Joe Biden has intentionally dismantled the border and allowed the cartels, coyotes, child smugglers, woman smugglers…drug dealers, murderers and savage MS-13 gang members to infiltrate our country like never before,” he stated. “It’s never been life this. Think of it six months ago. We had the safest border in history and now we have the worst and most unsafe border in history.”
The 45th president went on to reiterate he won the presidency and added great things will soon happen for our country. His speech was followed by a firework show, with patriotic music and crowds chanting his name.
The are afraid that going along with this insanity will undermine confidence in all election integrity.
see above.
Newsflash, pederast - my confidence in election integrity was completely fucking shot YEARS ago.
I watch the left and their schemes - ranked choice voting, ballot harvesting, dead voting, voting at both residences in two states, hauling the homeless to the polls and plying their dem vote with liquor and cigarettes, accompanying the homeless and poor into the voting booth to make sure "they vote correctly"...
I've seen it all, having a ringside seat to one of the most corrupt political machines right here in Albany. The Dan O'Connell political whorehouse.
The fact is we're long overdue for a forensic audit and housecleaning. And that scares the shit out of the left because they know they're liars and thieves.
THE NEW YORKER Daily Comment Celebrating the Fourth with a Little Liberty The arrival on Ellis Island of a little-sister statue from France offers a moment to reflect on what liberty means in 2021. By Adam Gopnik July 3, 2021
Gazing at the Statue of Liberty a couple of days before the Fourth of July, there is still something hugely moving about her, at any scale.
“We packed her, we crated her, we shipped her, we unpacked her, and we’ll crate her up and ship her again, after she’s done here,” an executive from a shipping company that had, indeed, done all those things, was saying, proudly, efficiently, on Thursday morning. He was talking about the many-sequenced move of a nine-foot-tall bronze model of the Statue of Liberty, which had been created directly from Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi’s 1878 plaster cast and had stood nobly for a decade in Paris, at the National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts, but which had just been brought over, after all that frenetic crating and shipping, to a site on Ellis Island. She will remain there for almost a week, outside the great immigration shed, before moving to a ten-year residence at the French Ambassador’s residence in Washington, D.C.
The little-sister model statue, still covered with a ceremonial veil at noon, had been, visitors were promised, aligned to stand in profile against the big-sister statue on Liberty Island—or Bedloe’s Island, as it was prosaically known in 1886, when she was first inaugurated.
From Ellis Island, though, there was something oddly diminutive about the hundred-and-fifty-one-foot-tall icon. “She looks small,” someone said, as someone always does when spying her from across the water. She does look small. A sad truth of modern times is that our colossi can never really be colossal. In ancient times, the Colossus of Rhodes really did tower over his world, or seemed to, as did, in the imaginary past, the Titan of Braavos, in “Game of Thrones”—not to mention the statue of Zeus, at Olympia, or the one of Athena Parthenos, in the Parthenon. Compared with their surroundings, they were all big people. But even big modern statues have long been dwarfed by the sheer height of the skyscrapers that surpass them in scale (always in our heads, and often in our eye line) and by the cumulative density of the cities that surround them. The helicopters that hover above the statue’s head suggest the power of modern technology to make the sky that is her limit no limit at all.
Yet, gazing at Liberty a couple of days before the Fourth of July, there is still something hugely moving about her, at any scale. The essential historical confusion that she presents to our understanding is that her proximity to Ellis Island quickly transformed her into a symbol of American immigration, which is not what she was intended to be. She became the “Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor” Lady, rather than the “Enlighten the World” Lady.
As first imagined, in 1865, when the sculptor Bartholdi and the novelist and essayist Édouard Réne Lefèbvre de Laboulaye sat down at a (likely apocryphal) dinner, shortly after Lincoln’s assassination, the purpose of this first colossal statue since antiquity in the West was apparent: she was to be both a monument to the triumph of American democracy, rooted in the cause of abolition, and a kind of pledge object, promising the restoration of the French Republic, at a time when France was still under the corrupt and autocratic rule of the Second Empire. Laboulaye had in mind a monument to the end of slavery here and the rebirth of republicanism there. He succinctly summarized what Liberty was against in a prescient list: she was to celebrate a people who had “left behind royalty, nobility, the Church, centralization, permanent armies: privilege never came to them.” Inspired by a transatlantic light, France might leave them behind as well.
Certainly, though free of kings, we are far from free of the Church, or the presence of clerics in everyday life, and God knows we have a more standing standing army. Privilege still does its thing, too. But then, even as the statue was being dedicated, in 1886, the limits of American liberty were plain: a boat filled with suffragists, furious at the idea that a giant replica of a free woman was being unveiled in a country in which women were not free to vote, circled the ceremony.
A broken chain that sits at Liberty’s feet, to recognize her role as an image of abolition and the freedom of Black America, was mostly hidden from view, both actually—even today, so few know that it’s there—and symbolically.
The dreamers who made the statue had an abiding faith in freedom: they believed that liberty can be the solvent of all other ills. Free people would be prosperous and equal and compassionate. Perhaps sadly, in the past few years, our sense of what liberty alone can do has contracted. We know that liberty guarantees neither social solidarity nor economic equality. A lot of people will tell you that, in the absence of those good things, the liberty from priests and kings, and even the liberty to say what we want isn’t enough—that maybe it isn’t even liberty. Certainly, the faith, once so sure, that free markets would make free men and women has never looked more dubious. (China is providing an instance of how liberty can be squashed in Hong Kong, while a kind of capitalism prospers in Beijing.)
Yet Liberty still counts. This old lady, who is also perpetually young, has never looked more necessary. Indeed, when the little-sister statue was unveiled, a single thing took one’s breath away: compared with her august sister, she has a pinched, determined, furious face. She looks as furious as the suffragists of more than a century ago. This is, in part, a consequence of the rule that, in order for a statue’s facial expression to “carry” across a great distance, it needs to be strong stuff. Yet here the idea implicit in her expression—that the act of enlightening the world with liberty means setting it on fire, that letting freedom ring can mean letting freedom resound, loudly—seems fitting and pleasing and just.
One need be neither a pessimist nor a progressive, only a realist, to see that, for all our flaws and faults, the spirit of a Little Liberty is real. Even in the aftermath of the worst continuing assault on American democracy since the Civil War, we can still mostly say what we want, when we want, about what we want. This is, historically, so rare an achievement that of course we take it entirely for granted. We see the limits of the icon and not the radiance of the torch. The notion that our liberty is only partial, limited, and compromised is often insisted on, and by some of our most articulate and wisely attended talkers. But they get to say it. The statue, however small she can seem, still celebrates an idea so big that history can hardly contain it. You can still celebrate the Glorious Fourth gloriously if you think your own thought, write it down, and put it out there. Take a liberty. Feel free. A little goes a long way.
Adam Gopnik, a staff writer, has been contributing to The New Yorker since 1986. He is the author of, most recently, “A Thousand Small Sanities: The Moral Adventure of Liberalism.”
I should also have bolded this: ...even as the statue was being dedicated, in 1886, the limits of American liberty were plain: a boat filled with suffragists, furious at the idea that a giant replica of a free woman was being unveiled in a country in which women were not free to vote, circled the ceremony.
President Joe Biden’s infrastructure package, if it ever becomes law, won’t just construct new bridges, tunnels and highways — it could also help cement the Democrats’ House majority for another two years.
This dynamic is particularly pronounced in northeastern Pennsylvania, where Republicans see a pair of seats held by vulnerable Democratic incumbents as ripe for pickup and redistricting threatens to inject additional uncertainty into the high-stakes midterm elections.
Reps. Susan Wild, whose 7th Congressional District encompasses the Lehigh Valley and its cities of Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton, and Matt Cartwright, whose 8th Congressional District includes Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, each won re-election in 2020 by fewer than 15,000 votes.
Both are banking on the passage of Biden’s revised, bipartisan infrastructure plan, which would bring critical projects and jobs to their districts that the lawmakers, as well as political strategists, say will bolster their chances at keeping the seats — and the House — blue in 2022.
“I don’t mean to sound too quaint about this but I honestly believe the way I navigate my race is by producing results,” Wild said. "That includes infrastructure projects.”
Shane Seaver, a political strategist who previously worked as a campaign manager and staffer for Cartwright, said government initiatives that make the "business base" stronger in northeastern Pennsylvania will get voters' attention.
“The main focus in these districts has always really been jobs and investments in the districts," he said. "That will now prominently include infrastructure.”
Former Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell, elected twice by Pennsylvania voters, said: “The [Covid-19] relief bill was popular in these districts. The infrastructure bill will be popular in these districts. They just need to get it through.”
But if the bill dies — and worse yet, if redistricting cracks either of these districts — Wild and Cartwright could lose. Because Republicans need to flip only a few seats across the country to take control of the House, that could result in the Democrats losing their narrow majority.
In 1952, President Dwight Eisenhower proposed the largest infrastructure bill in history. You use it every day when you drive on the interstate highway system.
Much of that is over 60 years old. Plus the population is more mobile than in the 50s you stupid troll squad asshole.
The infrastructure bill is not welfare queens, it's is millions of union jobs across lines red and blue States.
The family bill will also pass via reconciliation.
Instead of spreading the big lie. Admit that the nation is moving on!
Americans may have fallen short of President Biden's July 4 vaccination goal, but by most measures, we should be thankful for how far we've come in the past year.
The big picture: Last July 4, many Americans were hunkering down in their backyards with small cookouts, and travel was way down. This year, most adults have at least some vaccine protection, travel is back up, and most Americans are ready to move on with their lives.
By the numbers: As of Saturday, 67% of U.S. adults have gotten at least one vaccine dose, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
That's not 70%, which was Biden's July 4 goal. But do you know how many adults were vaccinated last July 4? Zero.When you count Americans 12 and older — including the 12-to-15-year-olds who are now eligible for the vaccine — 64.1% have gotten at least one shot.As of Saturday, the U.S. averaged about 12,500 new COVID cases per day over the past week, according to CDC — down from a weekly average of nearly 49,000 last July 4.
And Americans are ready to move on. Compare the polling from our Axios-Ipsos Coronavirus Index, now and a year ago, on whether people would consider it a risk to return to their pre-coronavirus lives:
June 26-29, 2020:
Large to moderate risk: 70%Small to no risk: 29%
June 25-28, 2021:
Large to moderate risk: 28%Small to no risk: 72%
They're going back to work, with 850,000 jobs added in June — better than expected — and average hourly earnings on the rise, per Axios' Courtenay Brown and Felix Salmon.
And they're hitting the roads again. July 4 travel is almost back to its pre-pandemic levels, with overall travel projected to be just 2.5% lower than in 2019, according to AAA.
Car travel alone is expected to set a new record, with 43.6 million Americans hitting the roads, 5% more than the previous record, set in 2019. (It had dropped to 32.5 million during last year's July 4 weekend.)Air travel hasn't quite bounced back: 3.5 million Americans are expected to fly during the holidays, down about 10% from 2019. (Just 1.3 million Americans flew at this time last year.)Airbnb says searches for its U.S. beachfront rentals over the July 4 weekend increased by 127 percent in the last month.
Americans' July 4 cookout costs should be about the same as last year or even a little lower, with the average cost of a cookout for 10 people dropping by 16 cents since last year, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.
Strawberries have gotten more expensive since last year (the price has jumped 22%). But you know what has gotten a little cheaper? Ground beef (the price has dropped 8%).And there could be more fireworks this year: Fireworks imports were up 51% over last year in the three months leading up to May 31, according to Panjiva, the supply chain research unit of S&P Global Market Intelligence.
One year ago today zero percent of people had been vaccinated. 67% today
Oh, so it's more free shit, only to unions. Just like 0linsky's auto bailout.
Got it.
Alky, you act like the IHS hasn't been serviced since it was built. That's a lie. Large swaths of it are always under construction and repair. I just drove through a shit-ton of it traveling from NY to Maine and back this past week. Here in NY we have the NYS Thruway Authority. An authority created just to deal with our portion of I-90 and I-87. An authority that outright lied to NY'ers telling us decades ago that the NYS Thruway would eventually be toll-free. The reality is that tolls rise like the sun rises in the fucking east around here.
Biden's* infrastructure bill is mostly welfare queen bullshit. People are not infrastructure. Day care is not infrastructure. And lying about all of that and more doesn't make any of it true.
J.D. VANCE:
“If you look at every issue in this country, every issue I believe traces back to this fact:
On the one hand, the elites in the ruling class in this country are robbing us blind, and on the other, if you dare complain about it, you are a bad person.”
NEW YORK (AP) — Alvin Bragg, a former top deputy to New York’s attorney general, was poised to become Manhattan’s first Black district attorney and to take over the investigation of former President Donald Trump after his closest opponent conceded in the Democratic primary.
The candidate trailing him by several thousand votes in the race, former federal prosecutor Tali Farhadian Weinstein, said in a statement Friday that after several days of absentee votes being counted, “it is clear we cannot overcome the vote margin.”
New York City’s Board of Election has not publicly released updates on the count of absentee ballots. As a result, The Associated Press has been unable to call a winner.
“This has been a long journey that started in Harlem,” Bragg said in a statement, referring to the Manhattan neighborhood where he grew up. “And today, that 15-year old boy who was stopped numerous times at gunpoint by the police is the Democratic nominee to be Manhattan District Attorney.”
Bragg led Farhadian Weinstein by about 3 percentage points when voting ended June 22.

With a win, Bragg would be virtually guaranteed to succeed District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., who has been leading an investigation of Trump and his company and is retiring at the end of the year.

They want to investigate our President until he dies in prison. Or fake self hanging like Epstein!
Like he said that we have to take action against the FBI and DOJ
It could get very interesting, if the house committee issues a subpoena to the former President Trump, and he denies to appear.
It hasn't been used often but I would love to see this.
Congressional leaders can send the Sergeant At Arms to arrest and detain anyone who refuses to comply with a subpoena. And he can't appeal to the courts.
There are many different ways, but it would be fun!
IF, only their was a Nation that had the capacity to fill the need and DIDN'T piss the strategic advantage away.
" Record Decline In U.S. Crude Stockpiles Fuels Oil Rally
By Tsvetana Paraskova - Jul 03, 2021, 6:00 PM CDT
Surging U.S. fuel demand amid stagnant domestic crude oil production is drawing down American crude inventories at the quickest pace in nearly 40 years. The record-fast decline in U.S. oil stockpiles has started to reflect in the crude oil futures market, where the American benchmark, WTI Crude, has surged by 50 percent so far this year. The U.S. oil price has also started to narrow the discount at which it trades relative to the international benchmark, Brent Crude. " 🇨🇳Biden's America

Business Insider Conservative National Review editor blasts GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham as 'an idiot' over infrastructure claims in scathing op-ed
Editor Philip Klein blasted Sen. Graham for his stance on the bipartisan infrastructure bill. Graham criticized Democratic attempts to link the negotiated legislation with a reconciliation bill.
In an op-ed, Klein argues that Republicans are being "duped" by President Biden.
The editor of the conservative National Review Online on Friday called Sen. Lindsey Graham "an idiot" for thinking that President Joe Biden would approve bipartisan infrastructure legislation in the absence of a Democratic-led reconciliation bill.
In an op-ed column, Philip Klein gave a harsh assessment of the South Carolina Republican's political acumen.
"Sen. Lindsey Graham is an idiot," he wrote. "Don't take it from me. Take it from Graham himself."
Late last month, following weeks of bipartisan efforts to craft an infrastructure deal, Biden lauded the roughly $1 trillion legislative compromise. However, when the president linked signing the legislation to a separate reconciliation bill, Republicans in the group balked.
Biden quickly walked back his comments, which many perceived to be a veto threat, reassuring Republicans that he was committed to the bipartisan bill.
"The bottom line is this: I gave my word to support the Infrastructure Plan, and that's what I intend to do," Biden said in a statement last month. "I intend to pursue the passage of that plan, which Democrats and Republicans agreed to ... with vigor. It would be good for the economy, good for our country, good for our people. I fully stand behind it without reservation or hesitation."
Graham, enraged over Biden's earlier statement, accused the president of making the GOP "look like a f---ing idiot" for attempting to tie the two bills together.
However, Klein noted that "yet a week later, Graham is back on board with the bipartisan deal citing a statement Biden made to reassure Republicans."
On Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said that the Democratic-controlled chamber wouldn't take up the bipartisan infrastructure bill until she saw a Senate bill passed through reconciliation.
"Our caucus is very, very pleased with the bipartisan agreement that the President was able to achieve working with Democrats and Republicans in the Senate," Pelosi said at the time. "What I said last week and I reiterate now is that in the House of Representatives that particular version as it is is something that we would take up once we see what the budget parameters are of the budget bill that the Senate will pass."
Democrats want to pursue a larger bill through the Senate, using the reconciliation budget process that could survive in the 50-50 Senate with unanimous party support and a tiebreaking vote from Vice President Kamala Harris.
The second bill would focus on longstanding Democratic priorities including childcare, healthcare, and climate change, among other issues.
Klein argued that Pelosi's comments show that "both Congressional Democrats and the White House view the two bills as linked. The only ones who don't seem to understand that are Graham and the rest of the Republicans participating in the charade."
He concluded: "Any Republican who signs on to this pile of hot garbage should be laughed at for getting duped by Biden. As Graham himself put it, 'You look like a f---ing idiot now.'" ________
So don't go for the infrastructure bill and just wait for bridges to start falling, etc.
Oh beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife Who more than self, their country loved And mercy more than life
America, America may God thy gold refine 'Til all success be nobleness And every gain divined
And you know when I was in school We used to sing it something like this, listen here
Oh beautiful, for spacious skies For amber waves of grain For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain
But now wait a minute, I'm talking about America, sweet America You know, God done shed his grace on thee He crowned thy good, yes he did, in brotherhood From sea to shining sea
You know, I wish I had somebody to help me sing this (America, America, God shed his grace on thee) America, I love you America, you see My God he done shed his grace on thee And you oughta love him for it 'Cause he, he, he, he crowned thy good He told me he would, with brotherhood (From sea to shining Sea) Oh Lord, oh Lord, I thank you Lord (Shining sea)

What does your state do with the taxes on fuel and vehicle taxes? Those along with the Federal Fuel tax are collected to build and maintain roads, bridges.

They sure don't invest in electricity or natural gas.
That's why there is no heat in winter and rolling blackouts in the summer.
So much of the taxes collect from vehicle and gasoline go into nonsense, like bike paths, walking paths and that 3 feet extra layment on the road side for bicycle riders.
July 4th... & so, the Declaration of Independence says all men are created equal. Equal to what? What men? Only white men? Isn't it something that they wrote this in 1776 when African Americans were enslaved? They weren't thinking about us then, but we're thinking about us now."

White Supremacists March on Philadelphia July 4, 2021 at 2:58 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 46 Comments “A group of white supremacists marched in front of Philadelphia City Hall Saturday night, drawing jeers from onlookers, as well as small scuffles,” NBC Philadelphia reports.
“The group of dozens of men wore white face coverings, kakis, blue shirts and tan hats and waved flags with insignias appearing to belong to the Patriot Front organization.”
Delta Variant Fuels Missouri’s Covid-19 Uptick July 4, 2021 at 2:53 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 26 Comments “The highly contagious Delta variant of the virus that causes Covid-19 is prompting a surge of coronavirus cases in Missouri, a warning sign of what may happen this summer in other areas of the U.S. with low vaccination rates,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“For more than a week, Missouri had the highest case rate in the country, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As of July 1, the seven-day average of new cases hit 898, up from 511 three weeks earlier, data from Johns Hopkins University show.”
GOP Blames Biden for Higher Gas Prices July 4, 2021 at 2:49 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 25 Comments “Americans are hitting the road in droves for the long Fourth of July weekend and Republicans are turning to another tried-and-true tradition: blaming the president for high gasoline prices,” Politico reports.
Student Loan Debt Holders Get Piecemeal Relief July 4, 2021 at 2:47 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 3 Comments Wall Street Journal: “The Biden administration is considering extending a pandemic freeze on Americans’ student-loan payments beyond its scheduled expiration in September and turning to piecemeal measures to lower their student-debt bills.
“Five months into his term, President Biden has resisted calls from fellow Democrats and activists to cancel most of America’s $1.6 trillion in federal student-loan debt in one swoop through an executive action. … Yet many Americans effectively are seeing their debt bills reduced through policy changes that started under the Trump administration, which froze student-loan payments when the pandemic began unfolding in March 2020.”
A Symbol of Unity That May No Longer Unite July 4, 2021 at 2:39 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard New York Times: “Thirteen stripes, a dusting of stars, the American flag has had infinite meanings over the 244 years since the country began flying one… Politicians of both parties have long sought to wrap themselves in the flag. But something may be changing: Today, flying the flag from the back of a pickup truck or over a lawn is increasingly seen as a clue, albeit an imperfect one, to a person’s political affiliation in a deeply divided nation.
“What was once a unifying symbol — there is a star on it for each state, after all — is now alienating to some, its stripes now fault lines between people who kneel while ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ plays and those for whom not pledging allegiance is an affront. And it has made the celebration of the Fourth of July, of patriotic bunting and cakes with blueberries and strawberries arranged into Old Glory, into another cleft in a country that seems no longer quite so indivisible, under a flag threatening to fray.”
Tensions Grow Between Trump and DeSantis July 4, 2021 at 2:37 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard New York Times: “The political rally in the midst of a disaster that has horrified the nation became a topic of discussion among aides to the former president and Gov. Ron DeSantis … whose growing popularity with the former president’s supporters is becoming an increasing source of tension for both men.”
Wave of Automation May Be Bad News for Workers July 4, 2021 at 2:37 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard New York Times: “Businesses from factories to fast-food outlets to hotels turned to technology last year to keep operations running amid social distancing requirements and contagion fears. Now the outbreak is ebbing in the United States, but the difficulty in hiring workers — at least at the wages that employers are used to paying — is providing new momentum for automation.
“Technological investments that were made in response to the crisis may contribute to a post-pandemic productivity boom, allowing for higher wages and faster growth. But some economists say the latest wave of automation could eliminate jobs and erode bargaining power, particularly for the lowest-paid workers, in a lasting way.”
Biden Mingles with Maskless Americans July 4, 2021 at 2:36 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 9 Associated Press: “Biden stayed mum on policy… focusing instead on cherries — and cherry pie and cherry ice cream — and voters who were mask-free as coronavirus restrictions have eased.”
“It had all the hallmarks of a campaign stop that he couldn’t make last year.”
Lawmakers Under Pressure to Reopen Capitol July 4, 2021 at 2:31 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 4 Associated Press: “Congressional leaders are working intensely to try to resume public tours at the Capitol in some form, but any reopening probably will come with new protocols for health and safety for the millions of annual visitors, 535 lawmakers and thousands of staff and crew that work under the dome and its surrounding campus.”
The Reverend tells everyone that he welcomes audits.
And why shouldn't he. Audits and such is the only manner to restore election integrity for a country where nearly 40% believes the last election was rigged.
Then, like a complete hypocrite he provides us numerous reasons why nothing should be audited.
Because for tbe first time in logistical history transparency and audits undermine legitimacy.
Hmmmm.
Question: why would audits and transparency make people less likely to believe the results?
Answer: Only if they uncovered something questionable.
Simple truth.
What idiot believes the rhetoric that more transparency is a bad thing that make people suspicious?
90 % of the R believes the last election was rigged. FIFY Lil Schitty!!!!!
Because they are too fucking stupid to see the facts there was no fraud......Maybe you Lil Schitty can provide absolute proof that the election was not fair.. Not a single one of you assholes has yet to provide it!!!! Why is that Scotty??? Because there ain't none it is figment of your demented amoral mind!!!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Most likely of the two of you, it’s you. I doubt you had enough swimmers to make it, or maybe because she’s a woman and not a young boy, you just couldn’t get aroused
The progressives want to change the way schools teach American history. They want to finally exorcise the ghost of Lost Cause historiography, the romanticization of the Confederacy that still haunts textbooks in some corners of the South.
Former president Donald Trump lashed out at Manhattan prosecutors Saturday night for indicting his organization and its chief financial officer for tax fraud, calling it “prosecutorial misconduct” in his most extensive comments on the charges since they were unsealed Thursday.
As Trump criticized the investigation, he appeared to acknowledge the tax schemes while questioning whether the alleged violations were in fact crimes.
“They go after good, hard-working people for not paying taxes on a company car,” he said at a rally in Sarasota, Fla. “You didn't pay tax on the car or a company apartment. You used an apartment because you need an apartment because you have to travel too far where your house is. You didn't pay tax. Or education for your grandchildren. I don't even know. Do you have to? Does anybody know the answer to that stuff?”
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office charged the Trump Organization and CFO Allen Weisselberg with orchestrating a 15-year scheme to avoid taxes by providing benefits hidden from the federal government. Weisselberg, they said, evaded taxes on $1.7 million in fringe benefits.
Taxes on $1.7 million is a big price to pay for covering up his bosses taxes.
Most likely of the two of you, it’s you. I doubt you had enough swimmers to make it, or maybe because she’s a woman and not a young boy, you just couldn’t get aroused
Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump is in about as much trouble as Allen Weisselberg is, according to biographer Michael D'Antonio.
Speaking to CNN's Jim Acosta on Sunday, D'Antonio explained that the kinds of things that Weisselberg is accused of are similar to things that Ivanka Trump also did while working for the Trump Organization.
"You know, he really is acting as if he is going to go down with the ship," said D'Antonio of Weisselberg. "I think this is astounding given Michael Cohen's example. But there's another thing that I notice in the president's -- or former president's complaints. And his idea that, 'Well, they're going after really good people, and they would only be going after me because of political motivations.' Well, the big problem for him is that he invited all of this. He ran for president in the first place as a publicity stunt. He wanted to amp up his visibility and increase his bottom line. He never intended to be elected president, and then when he became president, journalists started digging into the facts of his wealth, which has always been in doubt, and then people that he really hurt, that he steamrollered offer the years leaked documents to The New York Times that gave the truth about his taxes for the world to see. Faced with all of that, the prosecutions had no choice but to go after him. So, the idea this is political is crazy. He brought it on himself. These are practices that have been going on for more than a dozen years, and he's getting what he deserves."
The only reason Trump wasn’t locked up over the past four years is he happened to be in control of the DOJ. It’s not like he said or did anything savvy while he was in office with regard to his crimes. In fact he made every mistake possible. He just held the keys. Now he doesn’t.
We keep painting Trump as a savvy evil genius. It’s never been true. He only fell into office sideways to begin with due to the last minute Comey letter. He then spent four years committing every crime he could think of in order to steal a second term, yet he still couldn’t pull it off. Trump is a brute force kind of guy, with no real strategy beyond trying to psychologically wear you down into believing he’s going to win no matter what, so you won’t bother to fight against him. Defeating him requires first acknowledging that he’s never been a mastermind to begin with.
He proved it again
As Trump criticized the investigation, he appeared to acknowledge the tax schemes while questioning whether the alleged violations were in fact crimes.

We said that Obama aka Olinski was an African citizen in Kenya and a communist, but they said that we were racist! But on July 4th 2021 is the real first Independent Day.
Back in September investigative journalist Chris Rufo went on with Tucker Carlson to discuss “critical race theory” and the federal government’s support of the hateful, racist indoctrination.
In the US today, thanks to the work of the Obama regime, federal employees are forced to attend critical race theory sessions and workshops to focus on “white privilege” and “microaggressions.”
The discipline is pure Marxism and anti-white, anti-US racism being pushed on US government employees. Several US corporations also push this on their employees in workshops and seminars. It is a lucrative business for the far left based on pseudoscience, hate and victimhood.
Mark Rufo called on President Trump to eliminate this hateful indoctrination from the federal government.
Alan Dershowitz is saying the same things I've been saying. He says the charges will be thrown out because, quote, you can't have a city district attorney charging someone for not paying federal taxes when thr irs hasn't even gone after him.
He said anyone else would get a letter from its that he owed back taxes. Just like I said.
Target and Walgreens are heightening security efforts in major cities across California amid increased theft and crime, new reports suggest.
Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento are among the cities with the most organized retail crime in the country, according to the California Retailer's Association. As a result, stores have been closing early or permanently shuttering.
Target stores in San Francisco are now closing early, moving from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a Financial District store closing as early as 5p.m. on Saturday, according to hours listed on its website. Most stores open between 7 and 8 a.m. until 10 p.m.
Target told KPIX5 the decision to adjust its store hours in San Francisco was related to theft with a spokesperson confirming: "For more than a month, we’ve been experiencing a significant and alarming rise in theft and security incidents at our San Francisco stores, similar to reports from other retailers in the area.
GDP Looks like 7% under bidenomics......And once again shorty cherry picks statistics like he used to on the ACA......BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Funny ballz......the feds have all the forensic accounting information on trumps tax transgressions.....Alan's opinion is just that.....BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
"America, is not stock photos or airbrushed history, or feeble attempts to define some of us as more American than others. We respect the past, but we don’t pine for the past. We don’t fear the future; we grab for it. America is not some fragile thing. We are large, in the words of Whitman, containing multitudes. We are boisterous and diverse and full of energy, perpetually young in spirit. That’s why someone like John Lewis at the ripe old age of 25 could lead a mighty march." President Barack Obama
Progressives love our country so much that we know it’s strong enough to acknowledge how racism, nativism, religious prejudice, and other forms of injustice and intolerance are embedded in our nation’s story.
Teachers who expose their students to such truths are not being “woke” or convincing impressionable young minds that the nation is “irredeemably racist,” as Cruz has alleged. They are performing an essential task of education: contextually explaining where we’ve been so that we can understand where we are and where we need to go. This nation can be redeemed — but not without first acknowledging the need for redemption. The Republican Party is trying to prohibit that acknowledgment, and is doing so for short-term political gain. The flap over critical race theory is just another scam from a party that believes in nothing except the unprincipled pursuit of power.
Don't talk about race in our schools because it makes us look bad. --Republicans, the party to which white supremacists gravitate.
Biden Says Getting Vaccinated Is Patriotic July 5, 2021 at 7:54 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 13 Comments President Biden said that getting vaccinated against the coronavirus was “the most patriotic thing” that Americans could do, the New York Times reports.
Said Biden: “I am concerned that people who have not gotten vaccinated have the capacity to catch the variant and spread the variant to other people who have not been vaccinated. Don’t just think about yourself.”
Democrats Hurtle Towards Key Decisions on Biden Agenda July 5, 2021 at 7:08 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 39 Comments “Democrats have a chance to pass President Biden’s sweeping infrastructure, tax, climate and social policy measures that would transform American life — but doing so requires them pulling off an incredibly difficult legislative high-wire act over the next few weeks,” the Washington Post reports.
“The House and Senate are out of session for a holiday break, but discussions are continuing among Democrats about the parameters of potentially monumental legislation that represents Biden’s best chance to deliver on many of his campaign promises, according to interviews with more than a dozen lawmakers, aides and lobbyists.
“This legislation, which is set to be passed without Republican support separately from a parallel, bipartisan infrastructure measure, may not be ultimately passed until fall or later. But Democrats have only a matter of weeks to settle many of the biggest policy questions surrounding the bill: How much will it spend? How much of that spending should be offset with tax increases and other revenue measures? And which competing items on a laundry list of priorities should ultimately be passed into law?”
Translation: The liberal Democrats can't run fast enough away from CRT.
I have yet to see one of its proponents defend it publicly.
Always remember that the only reason we're discussing CRT or anything else that is even remotely related to slavery is because democrats were too fucking lazy to pick their own cotton.
Critical Race "Crackpot Disg-Race" Theory - which is more and more being viewed as "settled science" than theory - is a blood-libel myth that can be exploded within a few seconds. If America, capitalism, Judeo-Christianity, western civilization and all that goes with them are inherently racist systems built and maintained for the sole purpose of perpetuating white supremacy and rigged to keep blacks down, how does one explain the presence of Cori Bush and Maxine Waters? How is it that they are even given a platform to speak let alone be allowed to hold elective office?
Oprah Winfrey has amassed a fortune estimated to be in the neighborhood of around $3.5 billion dollars. Irrespective of what one thinks about her talent, personality or politics, the fact remains she is the wealthiest woman in America and one of the wealthiest on the planet.
Same deal with Barack Obama; twice elected president in a nation that, despite the artificially induced demographic shifts via open borders and decreased fecundity of caucasians, is still majority white.
Let's play along with Derrick Bell and Ibram X. Crement and assume they are correct that America is an inherently racist nation, built on white supremacy and that racism is actually part of caucasian DNA. If that is true, then there can only be two possibilities that account for Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, Waters, Bush and all the rest:
1 - They're willingly playing the part of Uncle Tom and Aunt Jemima in a bizarre minstrel show, doing a shuck-and-jive act in blaming whitey as they rake in millions. But that makes no sense. It is dictionary definition cognitive dissonance to believe what they spout out while ignoring from whence it emanated because it means. . .
2 - America cannot be as they claim because they never would have been allowed to achieve the status and wealth they so obviously had.
It really is as simple as that. Some people do understand this. In fact a lot of minorities are just not buying into this garbage, but you'd never know that if all you read was the agitprop media. Another central tenet of CRT as well as the original Communist-inspired myth, sadly reinforced by hip-hop "culture" is the ridiculing and shaming of blacks who want to go to school to actually learn. The victimization lie reinforces that vicious cycle of hopelessness and uselessness in trying to make it in the white man's world, so-called. And yet, year after year, inner city parents who actually give a shit about their kids are desperate to get them the hell out of public schools and into a charter school. That's why the latter is such a lightning rod and nemesis of Brainwash Inc., aka the NEA and UFT.
Rat continues his post of tripe and his basic stupidity!!!!! CRT the only policy that the GOP has embraced.....funny thing, it really does not exist except in the minds of idiots of the GOP and its fools......>BWAAAAAAPAAAAAA!!!!!

After Arizona Audit, Is Pennsylvania Next? State Sen. Reportedly Begins Push For Privately Funded Election Probe
Alison Durkee
Forbes Staff
TOPLINE Pennsylvania Republican senators could launch a privately funded audit of the state’s election results similar to the controversial partisan recount taking place in Maricopa County, Arizona, as the Associated Press reports a leading state senator is taking steps to start a Pennsylvania investigation after visiting the Arizona audit.
Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano, a Republican who chairs the Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee and is a potential future gubernatorial candidate, was one of three Pennsylvania lawmakers to visit the Arizona audit in June and has said he wants Pennsylvania to hold its own “forensic audit” of the state’s results.
The AP reports Mastriano briefed Republican state senators on Wednesday on his plan for an audit in the state and has asked a law firm whether a privately funded “oversight investigation” akin to the Arizona audit would be permissible under state law.
The law firm wrote in its response to Mastriano Tuesday that “Pennsylvania law does not prohibit” state lawmakers from “accepting or receiving” private funds for such an investigation, according to a copy of the letter viewed by the AP.
The aim of the Pennsylvania audit would be to “develop legislation which will enhance voter participation and election integrity,” according to the law firm’s letter.
Former President Donald Trump has publicly pressured the state Senate’s GOP leadership to launch an audit, and several other state senators have signaled their openness to an investigation.
Pennsylvania Republicans had tried to force a measure into the state’s budget that would have helped facilitate an election audit by allocating money to establishing a Bureau of Election Audits, but Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf vetoed that provision on Wednesday.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR
The Arizona Senate launched its partisan audit by issuing subpoenas to take possession of ballots and voting machines, which they then turned over to private companies running the audit. Pennsylvania senators could take a similar approach, rather than passing legislation that would have to go through the Pennsylvania House and Wolf. Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa, a Democrat, told the AP Senate Democrats could challenge subpoenas in both the state Senate and in court, however, and it’s unclear whether Mastriano could issue subpoenas through the committee he chairs, as it’s typically a different committee that handles elections.
CHIEF CRITICS
The Pennsylvania audit push has been criticized by state officials on both sides of the aisle. Democrats like Wolf and Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro have slammed the potential audit as well as Republicans like Philadelphia City Commissioner Al Schmidt, who said on CNN it would be “reckless” for Pennsylvania to launch a similar probe to Arizona. “I don’t know why you would want to repeat what’s going on in Arizona anyplace across the country,” Schmidt said, criticizing the Arizona probe as being carried out with a “partisan political agenda.” Pennsylvania state Rep. Seth Grove, a Republican who leads the state House committee overseeing elections, has ruled out the Pennsylvania House of Representatives pushing for an audit, saying in June the House “will not be authorizing any further audits on any previous election.”
SURPRISING FACT
The Pennsylvania government has already completed a risk-limiting audit of the state’s election results, which affirmed President Joe Biden received more votes than Trump.
KEY BACKGROUND
The Arizona audit, which first began in April, has raised significant concerns for such issues as a lack of transparency, privacy concerns, questions about how it’s being funded and the fact it’s being run by Cyber Ninjas, a private firm whose CEO has no elections experience and has spread conspiracy theories about election fraud. The Justice Department has also suggested the audit may violate federal law by taking ballots out of election officials’ possession. The recount of more than two million ballots will not affect the vote count or pose any risk to Biden’s win in the state, but critics fear the probe will undermine public trust in the election results and democratic process.
While polling has shown most Arizonans are not in favor of the audit, the Arizona recount has nevertheless spurred a new wave of interest from lawmakers nationwide in launching their own investigations.
Legislators from numerous states visited Arizona to witness the audit taking place and Wisconsin Republicans have also launched an investigation into their election. In addition to Pennsylvania, efforts to start up new audits have also moved forward in other states like Georgia and Michigan.
TANGENT
While Mastriano and other Republican lawmakers across the country have pushed for “forensic audits” into the election results, election experts have said such an investigation would not actually be possible. Forensic investigations have typically referred to investigations tracing crimes back to individual transactions or people, Georgia Public Broadcasting notes, which is impossible with elections where ballots are secret and not tied to people’s identities. “A lot of the election-deniers have been falling back on this term ‘forensic audit.’ I think it's a really good question to ask them, ‘Tell me exactly what a forensic audit means from your perspective,’ because this term doesn't actually have meaning as most of these folks are using it,” David Becker, executive director and founder of the Center for Election Innovation and Research, said during a media briefing this week.
I HAVE BOLDFACED SOME OF THE PARTS THAT SHOW HOW DISHONEST YOU ARE, CH.
Pennsylvania Republicans had tried to force a measure into the state’s budget that would have helped facilitate an election audit by allocating money to establishing a Bureau of Election Audits, but Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf vetoed that provision on Wednesday.
Huh. One wonders what Wolfe, et. al. are afraid of.
Read all the rest. The are afraid that going along with this insanity will undermine confidence in all election integrity.
Simply put, Trump has told TOO BIG A LIE.
election experts have said such an investigation would not actually be possible.
So let's invite these "experts" to testify, under oath, and explain in excruciatingly granular detail exactly why "such an investigation would not actually be possible..."
...rather than dismiss the idea with some bullshit declaration.
The only reason I can imagine for them not to perceive that is that they are locked in a philosophy that denies the validity of all other philosophies. Or if you prefer, in a cult.
Any philosophy that says “and it’s invalid to disagree with us. And if you express an opinion/idea/analysis contrary to ours you are a hater who hates” is a totalitarian philosophy. It might not have armies or the control of governments (spoiler, it does though in the US…. well, you’ll see) but if it had them it would already be stacking bodies several deep.
[...]
And so–
And so looking at their actions gives you a curious double vision. I said before that I feel like they’re trying to establish the Soviet Union as the Berlin wall is coming down. That’s still true, but everything they do is like that.
Look, they believe they have the majority of people, and yet they massively rig elections. Then they run around telling us we can’t investigate, because that will weaken belief in elections. Yeah. Because “shut up peasant and believe the impossible numbers” builds confidence. They locked the entire country down for a severe flu, on nothing much. They are trying to get everyone to take a vaccine that is not needed for most and makes little sense for anyone but the most at risk (and maybe not for them, since I suspect we already had herd immunity); they are destroying the cities they hold; they are amping the indoctrination in schools to the point even suburban parents finally see it. They are demanding loyalty oaths and Maoist struggle sessions in corporations.

The left is lying. And panicking at every attempt to expose the lie.
OAN Newsroom aka Thecoldheartedtruth
UPDATED 7:50 PM PT – Sunday, July 4, 2021
President Donald Trump held a campaign-style rally at the Sarasota Fairgrounds in Florida. Crowds gathered well before the sunrise on Saturday to enter the long-awaited Save America rally.
Taking the podium, Trump condemned the radical left and their intent to defund police departments by slamming Democrats for the mayhem they have brought to their cities. The 45th president urged the crowd to vote red for law, order and justice to be reinstated within the nation.
In addition, Trump took aim at the justice system for targeting people based on their political standing and argued they only seek to prosecute him as well as other Republicans. He went on to slam the Biden administration by comparing his accomplishments while in office.
“But now Joe Biden has intentionally dismantled the border and allowed the cartels, coyotes, child smugglers, woman smugglers…drug dealers, murderers and savage MS-13 gang members to infiltrate our country like never before,” he stated. “It’s never been life this. Think of it six months ago. We had the safest border in history and now we have the worst and most unsafe border in history.”
The 45th president went on to reiterate he won the presidency and added great things will soon happen for our country. His speech was followed by a firework show, with patriotic music and crowds chanting his name.

Panicking. LOL.
And I even anticipated this -
The are afraid that going along with this insanity will undermine confidence in all election integrity.
see above.
Newsflash, pederast - my confidence in election integrity was completely fucking shot YEARS ago.
I watch the left and their schemes - ranked choice voting, ballot harvesting, dead voting, voting at both residences in two states, hauling the homeless to the polls and plying their dem vote with liquor and cigarettes, accompanying the homeless and poor into the voting booth to make sure "they vote correctly"...
I've seen it all, having a ringside seat to one of the most corrupt political machines right here in Albany. The Dan O'Connell political whorehouse.
The fact is we're long overdue for a forensic audit and housecleaning. And that scares the shit out of the left because they know they're liars and thieves.
It's the democrats panicking over their Defund the police debacle. Lol indeed.

Celebrating the Fourth with a Little Liberty
The arrival on Ellis Island of a little-sister statue from France offers a moment to reflect on what liberty means in 2021.
By Adam Gopnik
July 3, 2021
Gazing at the Statue of Liberty a couple of days before the Fourth of July, there is still something hugely moving about her, at any scale.
“We packed her, we crated her, we shipped her, we unpacked her, and we’ll crate her up and ship her again, after she’s done here,” an executive from a shipping company that had, indeed, done all those things, was saying, proudly, efficiently, on Thursday morning. He was talking about the many-sequenced move of a nine-foot-tall bronze model of the Statue of Liberty, which had been created directly from Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi’s 1878 plaster cast and had stood nobly for a decade in Paris, at the National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts, but which had just been brought over, after all that frenetic crating and shipping, to a site on Ellis Island. She will remain there for almost a week, outside the great immigration shed, before moving to a ten-year residence at the French Ambassador’s residence in Washington, D.C.
The little-sister model statue, still covered with a ceremonial veil at noon, had been, visitors were promised, aligned to stand in profile against the big-sister statue on Liberty Island—or Bedloe’s Island, as it was prosaically known in 1886, when she was first inaugurated.
From Ellis Island, though, there was something oddly diminutive about the hundred-and-fifty-one-foot-tall icon. “She looks small,” someone said, as someone always does when spying her from across the water. She does look small. A sad truth of modern times is that our colossi can never really be colossal. In ancient times, the Colossus of Rhodes really did tower over his world, or seemed to, as did, in the imaginary past, the Titan of Braavos, in “Game of Thrones”—not to mention the statue of Zeus, at Olympia, or the one of Athena Parthenos, in the Parthenon. Compared with their surroundings, they were all big people. But even big modern statues have long been dwarfed by the sheer height of the skyscrapers that surpass them in scale (always in our heads, and often in our eye line) and by the cumulative density of the cities that surround them. The helicopters that hover above the statue’s head suggest the power of modern technology to make the sky that is her limit no limit at all.
Yet, gazing at Liberty a couple of days before the Fourth of July, there is still something hugely moving about her, at any scale. The essential historical confusion that she presents to our understanding is that her proximity to Ellis Island quickly transformed her into a symbol of American immigration, which is not what she was intended to be. She became the “Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor” Lady, rather than the “Enlighten the World” Lady.
As first imagined, in 1865, when the sculptor Bartholdi and the novelist and essayist Édouard Réne Lefèbvre de Laboulaye sat down at a (likely apocryphal) dinner, shortly after Lincoln’s assassination, the purpose of this first colossal statue since antiquity in the West was apparent: she was to be both a monument to the triumph of American democracy, rooted in the cause of abolition, and a kind of pledge object, promising the restoration of the French Republic, at a time when France was still under the corrupt and autocratic rule of the Second Empire. Laboulaye had in mind a monument to the end of slavery here and the rebirth of republicanism there. He succinctly summarized what Liberty was against in a prescient list: she was to celebrate a people who had “left behind royalty, nobility, the Church, centralization, permanent armies: privilege never came to them.” Inspired by a transatlantic light, France might leave them behind as well.
All this time later, it’s a mixed bag.
Certainly, though free of kings, we are far from free of the Church, or the presence of clerics in everyday life, and God knows we have a more standing standing army. Privilege still does its thing, too. But then, even as the statue was being dedicated, in 1886, the limits of American liberty were plain: a boat filled with suffragists, furious at the idea that a giant replica of a free woman was being unveiled in a country in which women were not free to vote, circled the ceremony.
A broken chain that sits at Liberty’s feet, to recognize her role as an image of abolition and the freedom of Black America, was mostly hidden from view, both actually—even today, so few know that it’s there—and symbolically.
The dreamers who made the statue had an abiding faith in freedom: they believed that liberty can be the solvent of all other ills. Free people would be prosperous and equal and compassionate. Perhaps sadly, in the past few years, our sense of what liberty alone can do has contracted. We know that liberty guarantees neither social solidarity nor economic equality. A lot of people will tell you that, in the absence of those good things, the liberty from priests and kings, and even the liberty to say what we want isn’t enough—that maybe it isn’t even liberty. Certainly, the faith, once so sure, that free markets would make free men and women has never looked more dubious. (China is providing an instance of how liberty can be squashed in Hong Kong, while a kind of capitalism prospers in Beijing.)
Yet Liberty still counts. This old lady, who is also perpetually young, has never looked more necessary. Indeed, when the little-sister statue was unveiled, a single thing took one’s breath away: compared with her august sister, she has a pinched, determined, furious face. She looks as furious as the suffragists of more than a century ago. This is, in part, a consequence of the rule that, in order for a statue’s facial expression to “carry” across a great distance, it needs to be strong stuff. Yet here the idea implicit in her expression—that the act of enlightening the world with liberty means setting it on fire, that letting freedom ring can mean letting freedom resound, loudly—seems fitting and pleasing and just.
One need be neither a pessimist nor a progressive, only a realist, to see that, for all our flaws and faults, the spirit of a Little Liberty is real. Even in the aftermath of the worst continuing assault on American democracy since the Civil War, we can still mostly say what we want, when we want, about what we want. This is, historically, so rare an achievement that of course we take it entirely for granted. We see the limits of the icon and not the radiance of the torch. The notion that our liberty is only partial, limited, and compromised is often insisted on, and by some of our most articulate and wisely attended talkers. But they get to say it. The statue, however small she can seem, still celebrates an idea so big that history can hardly contain it. You can still celebrate the Glorious Fourth gloriously if you think your own thought, write it down, and put it out there. Take a liberty. Feel free. A little goes a long way.

President Joe Biden’s infrastructure package, if it ever becomes law, won’t just construct new bridges, tunnels and highways — it could also help cement the Democrats’ House majority for another two years.
This dynamic is particularly pronounced in northeastern Pennsylvania, where Republicans see a pair of seats held by vulnerable Democratic incumbents as ripe for pickup and redistricting threatens to inject additional uncertainty into the high-stakes midterm elections.
Reps. Susan Wild, whose 7th Congressional District encompasses the Lehigh Valley and its cities of Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton, and Matt Cartwright, whose 8th Congressional District includes Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, each won re-election in 2020 by fewer than 15,000 votes.
Both are banking on the passage of Biden’s revised, bipartisan infrastructure plan, which would bring critical projects and jobs to their districts that the lawmakers, as well as political strategists, say will bolster their chances at keeping the seats — and the House — blue in 2022.
“I don’t mean to sound too quaint about this but I honestly believe the way I navigate my race is by producing results,” Wild said. "That includes infrastructure projects.”
Shane Seaver, a political strategist who previously worked as a campaign manager and staffer for Cartwright, said government initiatives that make the "business base" stronger in northeastern Pennsylvania will get voters' attention.
“The main focus in these districts has always really been jobs and investments in the districts," he said. "That will now prominently include infrastructure.”
Former Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell, elected twice by Pennsylvania voters, said: “The [Covid-19] relief bill was popular in these districts. The infrastructure bill will be popular in these districts. They just need to get it through.”
But if the bill dies — and worse yet, if redistricting cracks either of these districts — Wild and Cartwright could lose. Because Republicans need to flip only a few seats across the country to take control of the House, that could result in the Democrats losing their narrow majority.
McConnell has not quite yet responded.

LOL. Fucking one-trick ponies. All of them.
Unable to get anywhere with election fraud,
Republicans are scared to death of infrastructure.
In 1952, President Dwight Eisenhower proposed the largest infrastructure bill in history. You use it every day when you drive on the interstate highway system.
Much of that is over 60 years old. Plus the population is more mobile than in the 50s you stupid troll squad asshole.
The infrastructure bill is not welfare queens, it's is millions of union jobs across lines red and blue States.
The family bill will also pass via reconciliation.
It's pretty funny what today's democrats are calling infrastructure.
Instead of spreading the big lie. Admit that the nation is moving on!
Americans may have fallen short of President Biden's July 4 vaccination goal, but by most measures, we should be thankful for how far we've come in the past year.
The big picture: Last July 4, many Americans were hunkering down in their backyards with small cookouts, and travel was way down. This year, most adults have at least some vaccine protection, travel is back up, and most Americans are ready to move on with their lives.
By the numbers: As of Saturday, 67% of U.S. adults have gotten at least one vaccine dose, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
That's not 70%, which was Biden's July 4 goal. But do you know how many adults were vaccinated last July 4? Zero.When you count Americans 12 and older — including the 12-to-15-year-olds who are now eligible for the vaccine — 64.1% have gotten at least one shot.As of Saturday, the U.S. averaged about 12,500 new COVID cases per day over the past week, according to CDC — down from a weekly average of nearly 49,000 last July 4.
And Americans are ready to move on. Compare the polling from our Axios-Ipsos Coronavirus Index, now and a year ago, on whether people would consider it a risk to return to their pre-coronavirus lives:
June 26-29, 2020:
Large to moderate risk: 70%Small to no risk: 29%
June 25-28, 2021:
Large to moderate risk: 28%Small to no risk: 72%
They're going back to work, with 850,000 jobs added in June — better than expected — and average hourly earnings on the rise, per Axios' Courtenay Brown and Felix Salmon.
And they're hitting the roads again. July 4 travel is almost back to its pre-pandemic levels, with overall travel projected to be just 2.5% lower than in 2019, according to AAA.
Car travel alone is expected to set a new record, with 43.6 million Americans hitting the roads, 5% more than the previous record, set in 2019. (It had dropped to 32.5 million during last year's July 4 weekend.)Air travel hasn't quite bounced back: 3.5 million Americans are expected to fly during the holidays, down about 10% from 2019. (Just 1.3 million Americans flew at this time last year.)Airbnb says searches for its U.S. beachfront rentals over the July 4 weekend increased by 127 percent in the last month.
Americans' July 4 cookout costs should be about the same as last year or even a little lower, with the average cost of a cookout for 10 people dropping by 16 cents since last year, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.
Strawberries have gotten more expensive since last year (the price has jumped 22%). But you know what has gotten a little cheaper? Ground beef (the price has dropped 8%).And there could be more fireworks this year: Fireworks imports were up 51% over last year in the three months leading up to May 31, according to Panjiva, the supply chain research unit of S&P Global Market Intelligence.
One year ago today zero percent of people had been vaccinated. 67% today
Oh, so it's more free shit, only to unions. Just like 0linsky's auto bailout.
Got it.
Alky, you act like the IHS hasn't been serviced since it was built. That's a lie. Large swaths of it are always under construction and repair. I just drove through a shit-ton of it traveling from NY to Maine and back this past week. Here in NY we have the NYS Thruway Authority. An authority created just to deal with our portion of I-90 and I-87. An authority that outright lied to NY'ers telling us decades ago that the NYS Thruway would eventually be toll-free. The reality is that tolls rise like the sun rises in the fucking east around here.
Biden's* infrastructure bill is mostly welfare queen bullshit. People are not infrastructure. Day care is not infrastructure. And lying about all of that and more doesn't make any of it true.
J.D. VANCE:
“If you look at every issue in this country, every issue I believe traces back to this fact:
On the one hand, the elites in the ruling class in this country are robbing us blind, and on the other, if you dare complain about it, you are a bad person.”
He's absolutely correct.

The evil Democratic are getting desperate!
NEW YORK (AP) — Alvin Bragg, a former top deputy to New York’s attorney general, was poised to become Manhattan’s first Black district attorney and to take over the investigation of former President Donald Trump after his closest opponent conceded in the Democratic primary.
The candidate trailing him by several thousand votes in the race, former federal prosecutor Tali Farhadian Weinstein, said in a statement Friday that after several days of absentee votes being counted, “it is clear we cannot overcome the vote margin.”
New York City’s Board of Election has not publicly released updates on the count of absentee ballots. As a result, The Associated Press has been unable to call a winner.
“This has been a long journey that started in Harlem,” Bragg said in a statement, referring to the Manhattan neighborhood where he grew up. “And today, that 15-year old boy who was stopped numerous times at gunpoint by the police is the Democratic nominee to be Manhattan District Attorney.”
Bragg led Farhadian Weinstein by about 3 percentage points when voting ended June 22.
ADVERTISEMENT
With a win, Bragg would be virtually guaranteed to succeed District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., who has been leading an investigation of Trump and his company and is retiring at the end of the year.

They want to investigate our President until he dies in prison. Or fake self hanging like Epstein!
Like he said that we have to take action against the FBI and DOJ
It could get very interesting, if the house committee issues a subpoena to the former President Trump, and he denies to appear.
It hasn't been used often but I would love to see this.
Congressional leaders can send the Sergeant At Arms to arrest and detain anyone who refuses to comply with a subpoena. And he can't appeal to the courts.
There are many different ways, but it would be fun!
Thousands and thousands always show up for Trump rallies.
And how many show up at Biden rallies?
IF, only their was a Nation that had the capacity to fill the need and DIDN'T piss the strategic advantage away.
" Record Decline In U.S. Crude Stockpiles Fuels Oil Rally
By Tsvetana Paraskova - Jul 03, 2021, 6:00 PM CDT
Surging U.S. fuel demand amid stagnant domestic crude oil production is drawing down American crude inventories at the quickest pace in nearly 40 years. The record-fast decline in U.S. oil stockpiles has started to reflect in the crude oil futures market, where the American benchmark, WTI Crude, has surged by 50 percent so far this year. The U.S. oil price has also started to narrow the discount at which it trades relative to the international benchmark, Brent Crude. "

Facebook users are blocked from the hashtag #Revolution. The timing of the censorship is rather inconvenient considering this the 4th of July Weekend, a commemoration of the declaration of independence, which was brought about by the revolutionary wars.
If you search #Revolution on Facebook, you get the following message:
“Posts with #Revolution are temporarily hidden here. Some content in those posts goes against our Community Standards.”
Clicking the “Learn more” link on the warning redirects you to Facebook’s long page of Community Standards, not an explanation on why #Revolution is censored.
Even more confusing is that the platform allows you to include #Revolution in your post. What is the point of being allowed to type something you cannot see/search?

Conservative National Review editor blasts GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham as 'an idiot' over infrastructure claims in scathing op-ed
Editor Philip Klein blasted Sen. Graham for his stance on the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
Graham criticized Democratic attempts to link the negotiated legislation with a reconciliation bill.
In an op-ed, Klein argues that Republicans are being "duped" by President Biden.
The editor of the conservative National Review Online on Friday called Sen. Lindsey Graham "an idiot" for thinking that President Joe Biden would approve bipartisan infrastructure legislation in the absence of a Democratic-led reconciliation bill.
In an op-ed column, Philip Klein gave a harsh assessment of the South Carolina Republican's political acumen.
"Sen. Lindsey Graham is an idiot," he wrote. "Don't take it from me. Take it from Graham himself."
Late last month, following weeks of bipartisan efforts to craft an infrastructure deal, Biden lauded the roughly $1 trillion legislative compromise. However, when the president linked signing the legislation to a separate reconciliation bill, Republicans in the group balked.
Biden quickly walked back his comments, which many perceived to be a veto threat, reassuring Republicans that he was committed to the bipartisan bill.
"The bottom line is this: I gave my word to support the Infrastructure Plan, and that's what I intend to do," Biden said in a statement last month. "I intend to pursue the passage of that plan, which Democrats and Republicans agreed to ... with vigor. It would be good for the economy, good for our country, good for our people. I fully stand behind it without reservation or hesitation."
Graham, enraged over Biden's earlier statement, accused the president of making the GOP "look like a f---ing idiot" for attempting to tie the two bills together.
However, Klein noted that "yet a week later, Graham is back on board with the bipartisan deal citing a statement Biden made to reassure Republicans."
On Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said that the Democratic-controlled chamber wouldn't take up the bipartisan infrastructure bill until she saw a Senate bill passed through reconciliation.
"Our caucus is very, very pleased with the bipartisan agreement that the President was able to achieve working with Democrats and Republicans in the Senate," Pelosi said at the time. "What I said last week and I reiterate now is that in the House of Representatives that particular version as it is is something that we would take up once we see what the budget parameters are of the budget bill that the Senate will pass."
Democrats want to pursue a larger bill through the Senate, using the reconciliation budget process that could survive in the 50-50 Senate with unanimous party support and a tiebreaking vote from Vice President Kamala Harris.
The second bill would focus on longstanding Democratic priorities including childcare, healthcare, and climate change, among other issues.
Klein argued that Pelosi's comments show that "both Congressional Democrats and the White House view the two bills as linked. The only ones who don't seem to understand that are Graham and the rest of the Republicans participating in the charade."
He concluded: "Any Republican who signs on to this pile of hot garbage should be laughed at for getting duped by Biden. As Graham himself put it, 'You look like a f---ing idiot now.'"

So don't go for the infrastructure bill and just wait for bridges to start falling, etc.
Thank goodness the electoral vote USUALLY reflects the popular vote.
Republicans can be proud of two recent unsuccessful presidents who didn't win the popular vote.

Oh beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife
Who more than self, their country loved
And mercy more than life
America, America may God thy gold refine
'Til all success be nobleness
And every gain divined
And you know when I was in school
We used to sing it something like this, listen here
Oh beautiful, for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain
But now wait a minute, I'm talking about
America, sweet America
You know, God done shed his grace on thee
He crowned thy good, yes he did, in brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
You know, I wish I had somebody to help me sing this
(America, America, God shed his grace on thee)
America, I love you America, you see
My God he done shed his grace on thee
And you oughta love him for it
'Cause he, he, he, he crowned thy good
He told me he would, with brotherhood
(From sea to shining Sea)
Oh Lord, oh Lord, I thank you Lord
(Shining sea)

“The highly contagious Delta variant of the virus that causes Covid-19 is prompting a surge of coronavirus cases in Missouri, a warning sign of what may happen this summer in other areas of the U.S. with low vaccination rates,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“For more than a week, Missouri had the highest case rate in the country, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As of July 1, the seven-day average of new cases hit 898, up from 511 three weeks earlier, data from Johns Hopkins University show.”

Student Loan Debt Holders Get Piecemeal Relief
July 4, 2021 at 2:47 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 3 Comments
Wall Street Journal: “The Biden administration is considering extending a pandemic freeze on Americans’ student-loan payments beyond its scheduled expiration in September and turning to piecemeal measures to lower their student-debt bills.
“Five months into his term, President Biden has resisted calls from fellow Democrats and activists to cancel most of America’s $1.6 trillion in federal student-loan debt in one swoop through an executive action. … Yet many Americans effectively are seeing their debt bills reduced through policy changes that started under the Trump administration, which froze student-loan payments when the pandemic began unfolding in March 2020.”
A Symbol of Unity That May No Longer Unite
July 4, 2021 at 2:39 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard New York Times:
“Thirteen stripes, a dusting of stars, the American flag has had infinite meanings over the 244 years since the country began flying one… Politicians of both parties have long sought to wrap themselves in the flag. But something may be changing: Today, flying the flag from the back of a pickup truck or over a lawn is increasingly seen as a clue, albeit an imperfect one, to a person’s political affiliation in a deeply divided nation.
“What was once a unifying symbol — there is a star on it for each state, after all — is now alienating to some, its stripes now fault lines between people who kneel while ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ plays and those for whom not pledging allegiance is an affront. And it has made the celebration of the Fourth of July, of patriotic bunting and cakes with blueberries and strawberries arranged into Old Glory, into another cleft in a country that seems no longer quite so indivisible, under a flag threatening to fray.”

Wave of Automation May Be Bad News for Workers
July 4, 2021 at 2:37 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
New York Times:
“Businesses from factories to fast-food outlets to hotels turned to technology last year to keep operations running amid social distancing requirements and contagion fears. Now the outbreak is ebbing in the United States, but the difficulty in hiring workers — at least at the wages that employers are used to paying — is providing new momentum for automation.
“Technological investments that were made in response to the crisis may contribute to a post-pandemic productivity boom, allowing for higher wages and faster growth. But some economists say the latest wave of automation could eliminate jobs and erode bargaining power, particularly for the lowest-paid workers, in a lasting way.”

The Reverend tells everyone that he welcomes audits.
And why shouldn't he. Audits and such is the only manner to restore election integrity for a country where nearly 40% believes the last election was rigged.
Then, like a complete hypocrite he provides us numerous reasons why nothing should be audited.
Because for tbe first time in logistical history transparency and audits undermine legitimacy.
Hmmmm.
Question: why would audits and transparency make people less likely to believe the results?
Answer: Only if they uncovered something questionable.
Simple truth.
What idiot believes the rhetoric that more transparency is a bad thing that make people suspicious?
Well the Reverend for one.
Because he is told to.
He’s told what to think, he’s too stupid for an independent thought
None of the Three Socialist Stooges of CHT have any independent thought.

Former president Donald Trump lashed out at Manhattan prosecutors Saturday night for indicting his organization and its chief financial officer for tax fraud, calling it “prosecutorial misconduct” in his most extensive comments on the charges since they were unsealed Thursday.
As Trump criticized the investigation, he appeared to acknowledge the tax schemes while questioning whether the alleged violations were in fact crimes.
“They go after good, hard-working people for not paying taxes on a company car,” he said at a rally in Sarasota, Fla. “You didn't pay tax on the car or a company apartment. You used an apartment because you need an apartment because you have to travel too far where your house is. You didn't pay tax. Or education for your grandchildren. I don't even know. Do you have to? Does anybody know the answer to that stuff?”
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office charged the Trump Organization and CFO Allen Weisselberg with orchestrating a 15-year scheme to avoid taxes by providing benefits hidden from the federal government. Weisselberg, they said, evaded taxes on $1.7 million in fringe benefits.
Taxes on $1.7 million is a big price to pay for covering up his bosses taxes.

Most likely of the two of you, it’s you. I doubt you had enough swimmers to make it, or maybe because she’s a woman and not a young boy, you just couldn’t get aroused
LOL😂
Nice.
Organization crime surges
Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump is in about as much trouble as Allen Weisselberg is, according to biographer Michael D'Antonio.
Speaking to CNN's Jim Acosta on Sunday, D'Antonio explained that the kinds of things that Weisselberg is accused of are similar to things that Ivanka Trump also did while working for the Trump Organization.
"You know, he really is acting as if he is going to go down with the ship," said D'Antonio of Weisselberg. "I think this is astounding given Michael Cohen's example. But there's another thing that I notice in the president's -- or former president's complaints. And his idea that, 'Well, they're going after really good people, and they would only be going after me because of political motivations.' Well, the big problem for him is that he invited all of this. He ran for president in the first place as a publicity stunt. He wanted to amp up his visibility and increase his bottom line. He never intended to be elected president, and then when he became president, journalists started digging into the facts of his wealth, which has always been in doubt, and then people that he really hurt, that he steamrollered offer the years leaked documents to The New York Times that gave the truth about his taxes for the world to see. Faced with all of that, the prosecutions had no choice but to go after him. So, the idea this is political is crazy. He brought it on himself. These are practices that have been going on for more than a dozen years, and he's getting what he deserves."
Roger always shows his wealth envy.
The only reason Trump wasn’t locked up over the past four years is he happened to be in control of the DOJ. It’s not like he said or did anything savvy while he was in office with regard to his crimes. In fact he made every mistake possible. He just held the keys. Now he doesn’t.
We keep painting Trump as a savvy evil genius. It’s never been true. He only fell into office sideways to begin with due to the last minute Comey letter. He then spent four years committing every crime he could think of in order to steal a second term, yet he still couldn’t pull it off. Trump is a brute force kind of guy, with no real strategy beyond trying to psychologically wear you down into believing he’s going to win no matter what, so you won’t bother to fight against him. Defeating him requires first acknowledging that he’s never been a mastermind to begin with.
He proved it again

We said that Obama aka Olinski was an African citizen in Kenya and a communist, but they said that we were racist! But on July 4th 2021 is the real first Independent Day.
Back in September investigative journalist Chris Rufo went on with Tucker Carlson to discuss “critical race theory” and the federal government’s support of the hateful, racist indoctrination.
In the US today, thanks to the work of the Obama regime, federal employees are forced to attend critical race theory sessions and workshops to focus on “white privilege” and “microaggressions.”
The discipline is pure Marxism and anti-white, anti-US racism being pushed on US government employees. Several US corporations also push this on their employees in workshops and seminars. It is a lucrative business for the far left based on pseudoscience, hate and victimhood.
Mark Rufo called on President Trump to eliminate this hateful indoctrination from the federal government.

Alan Dershowitz is saying the same things I've been saying. He says the charges will be thrown out because, quote, you can't have a city district attorney charging someone for not paying federal taxes when thr irs hasn't even gone after him.
He said anyone else would get a letter from its that he owed back taxes. Just like I said.

Target, Walgreens close early due to thefts in California stores
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento report most organized retail crime in the country
Target and Walgreens are heightening security efforts in major cities across California amid increased theft and crime, new reports suggest.
Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento are among the cities with the most organized retail crime in the country, according to the California Retailer's Association. As a result, stores have been closing early or permanently shuttering.
Target stores in San Francisco are now closing early, moving from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a Financial District store closing as early as 5p.m. on Saturday, according to hours listed on its website. Most stores open between 7 and 8 a.m. until 10 p.m.
Target told KPIX5 the decision to adjust its store hours in San Francisco was related to theft with a spokesperson confirming: "For more than a month, we’ve been experiencing a significant and alarming rise in theft and security incidents at our San Francisco stores, similar to reports from other retailers in the area.

"America, is not stock photos or airbrushed history, or feeble attempts to define some of us as more American than others. We respect the past, but we don’t pine for the past. We don’t fear the future; we grab for it. America is not some fragile thing. We are large, in the words of Whitman, containing multitudes. We are boisterous and diverse and full of energy, perpetually young in spirit. That’s why someone like John Lewis at the ripe old age of 25 could lead a mighty march."
President Barack Obama
Progressives love our country so much that we know it’s strong enough to acknowledge how racism, nativism, religious prejudice, and other forms of injustice and intolerance are embedded in our nation’s story.
Teachers who expose their students to such truths are not being “woke” or convincing impressionable young minds that the nation is “irredeemably racist,” as Cruz has alleged. They are performing an essential task of education: contextually explaining where we’ve been so that we can understand where we are and where we need to go.
This nation can be redeemed — but not without first acknowledging the need for redemption. The Republican Party is trying to prohibit that acknowledgment, and is doing so for short-term political gain. The flap over critical race theory is just another scam from a party that believes in nothing except the unprincipled pursuit of power.

Opinions, assumptions, stereotypes and accusations are not truths. Nor are they facts. They're supposed to teach kids how to think. Not what to think.
Don't talk about race in our schools because it makes us look bad.

Biden Says Getting Vaccinated Is Patriotic
July 5, 2021 at 7:54 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 13 Comments
President Biden said that getting vaccinated against the coronavirus was “the most patriotic thing” that Americans could do, the New York Times reports.
Said Biden: “I am concerned that people who have not gotten vaccinated have the capacity to catch the variant and spread the variant to other people who have not been vaccinated. Don’t just think about yourself.”
Democrats Hurtle Towards Key Decisions on Biden Agenda
July 5, 2021 at 7:08 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 39 Comments
“Democrats have a chance to pass President Biden’s sweeping infrastructure, tax, climate and social policy measures that would transform American life — but doing so requires them pulling off an incredibly difficult legislative high-wire act over the next few weeks,” the Washington Post reports.
“The House and Senate are out of session for a holiday break, but discussions are continuing among Democrats about the parameters of potentially monumental legislation that represents Biden’s best chance to deliver on many of his campaign promises, according to interviews with more than a dozen lawmakers, aides and lobbyists.
“This legislation, which is set to be passed without Republican support separately from a parallel, bipartisan infrastructure measure, may not be ultimately passed until fall or later. But Democrats have only a matter of weeks to settle many of the biggest policy questions surrounding the bill: How much will it spend? How much of that spending should be offset with tax increases and other revenue measures? And which competing items on a laundry list of priorities should ultimately be passed into law?”
Hey fatboi the Walmart’s and Target closing are due to theft, stupid fat troll, learn how or read

I have yet to see one of its proponents defend it publicly.
Always remember that the only reason we're discussing CRT or anything else that is even remotely related to slavery is because democrats were too fucking lazy to pick their own cotton.
Critical Race "Crackpot Disg-Race" Theory - which is more and more being viewed as "settled science" than theory - is a blood-libel myth that can be exploded within a few seconds. If America, capitalism, Judeo-Christianity, western civilization and all that goes with them are inherently racist systems built and maintained for the sole purpose of perpetuating white supremacy and rigged to keep blacks down, how does one explain the presence of Cori Bush and Maxine Waters? How is it that they are even given a platform to speak let alone be allowed to hold elective office?
Oprah Winfrey has amassed a fortune estimated to be in the neighborhood of around $3.5 billion dollars. Irrespective of what one thinks about her talent, personality or politics, the fact remains she is the wealthiest woman in America and one of the wealthiest on the planet.
Same deal with Barack Obama; twice elected president in a nation that, despite the artificially induced demographic shifts via open borders and decreased fecundity of caucasians, is still majority white.
Let's play along with Derrick Bell and Ibram X. Crement and assume they are correct that America is an inherently racist nation, built on white supremacy and that racism is actually part of caucasian DNA. If that is true, then there can only be two possibilities that account for Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, Waters, Bush and all the rest:
1 - They're willingly playing the part of Uncle Tom and Aunt Jemima in a bizarre minstrel show, doing a shuck-and-jive act in blaming whitey as they rake in millions. But that makes no sense. It is dictionary definition cognitive dissonance to believe what they spout out while ignoring from whence it emanated because it means. . .
2 - America cannot be as they claim because they never would have been allowed to achieve the status and wealth they so obviously had.
It really is as simple as that. Some people do understand this. In fact a lot of minorities are just not buying into this garbage, but you'd never know that if all you read was the agitprop media. Another central tenet of CRT as well as the original Communist-inspired myth, sadly reinforced by hip-hop "culture" is the ridiculing and shaming of blacks who want to go to school to actually learn. The victimization lie reinforces that vicious cycle of hopelessness and uselessness in trying to make it in the white man's world, so-called. And yet, year after year, inner city parents who actually give a shit about their kids are desperate to get them the hell out of public schools and into a charter school. That's why the latter is such a lightning rod and nemesis of Brainwash Inc., aka the NEA and UFT.
