Biden’s radical agenda likely to hit wall
Posted By: Dreadnought, 3/27/2021 11:50:26 PM
Joe Biden, or whoever is pulling the strings, has an ambitious agenda. Too ambitious in a well-functioning democracy for a president who squeaked into the White House and whose party holds only half of the Senate seats. There is no mandate for the kind of sweeping change Biden and his handlers desire. One can debate whether ours is a well functioning democracy, but I hope it still functions well enough to prevent the kind of radical change the Democrats are pushing for. I believe it probably will, for the next two years at least. On the face of things, the filibuster is the obstacle to the Democrats’ radical agenda.

New York and New Jersey now have the highest rates of COVID-19 infection in the country.
The Empire State has averaged 548 cases for every 100,000 residents over the past 14 days — only surpassed by the Garden State with 647 cases.
Despite vaccination efforts, New York has not seen a dramatic reduction in infections. Daily cases have averaged about 50,000 people per week since mid-February.
And across the Hudson River in New Jersey, the number of new infections has climbed by 37 percent in a little more than a month, to about 23,600 every seven days.
In New York, Orange and Rockland counties are seeing the highest test positivity rates
The crisis at the border has deepened to levels not imaginable just a year ago. Even at the height of the surge that took place under former President Donald Trump, things were never this out of control. With the weakness of the current administration, and their priority being to appeal to their left flank, there’s no end in sight either. CBP and ICE are completely overwhelmed.
In response, Donald Trump made an announcement today that he’s planning to go to the border in the next few weeks. Excerpts via The Blaze.
“I don’t know what they’re doing. And they don’t know what they’re doing,”
Joe Biden isn’t with it, and that includes his breakdowns of major pieces of legislation. One such new law involved a series of election reforms in the State of Georgia. You’ll probably recall the absolute chaos that was the vote-counting in that state during the last election, with most of that chaos happening in heavily blue areas around Atlanta.
Regardless, because Democrats need to make political hay out of everything, they’ve decided to relentlessly lie about the law.
Here are Biden’s comments, and then we’ll get to the debunking.

Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby says the city will no longer prosecute for prostitution, drug possession and other low-level offenses.
Mosby made the announcement on Friday following her office's one-year experiment in not prosecuting minor offenses to decrease the spread of Covid-19 behind bars.
"Today, America's war on drug users is over in the city of Baltimore. We leave behind the era of tough-on-crime prosecution and zero tolerance policing and no longer default to the status quo to criminalize mostly people of color for addiction, said Mosby in an official press release.

Minnesota Supreme Court Overturns Rape Conviction

Because the Woman Willingly Drank Alcohol 11 replies
The Minnesota Supreme Court overturned the conviction of a man who picked up a woman outside a bar, took her home, and had sex with her. Under state law, since the woman drank the alcohol willingly, the man could not be charged with 3rd-degree criminal sexual misconduct.
The judges said the man could be charged with a gross misdemeanor — 5th-degree sexual conduct. The difference is that the 3rd-degree assault charge carries a sentence of 15 years in prison while the misdemeanor would put the man in jail for 1 year.
Naturally, many women are outraged at the Minnesota Supreme Court. In this case, the judge’s hands had been tied
So many on the left were predicting disaster for Texas after Republican Governor Greg Abbott lifted any remaining Wuhan coronavirus restrictions from the government and eliminated the mask mandate.
Texas announced on March 2 that it would take effect March 10.
Immediately, Joe Biden slammed Abbott’s decision as “Neanderthal thinking.” From Fox News:
“We’ve been able to move that all the way up to the end of May to have enough [vaccines] for every American, to get every adult American to get a shot,” Biden told reporters from the White House earlier this month. “The last thing we need is the Neanderthal thinking.”

While Congress was grilling some Big Tech CEOs this week, Democratic leaders were busy in the background, working on proposals to change how Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act is written. Sadly, there are plenty of people on both sides of the ideological divide who have become so angered by the actions of Twitter and Facebook, along with the other social media heavyweights, that support for this sort of action seems to be growing. But what House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) and his cronies are planning to do won’t stop some of the worst abuses
Myanmar's military fatally shot dozens of protesters Saturday and a rubber bullet injured a baby amid anti-coup demonstrations, observers said.
The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners said dozens of protesters were shot dead in the bloodiest day since the February coup with the latest deaths bringing the total number to about 400, according to the BBC.
The regime's armed forces killed 91 civilians in 40 towns across the country Saturday, Myanmar Now reported.

New York Attorney General Letitia James’s office has sent subpoenas to dozens of officials in Governor Andrew Cuomo’s administration in connection with an investigation into sexual-harassment claims against the governor, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday. Melissa DeRosa, the governor’s top aide, is among the officials who received a subpoena, the paper said. Paul Fishman, a lawyer for the Cuomo administration, said in response to the paper that “no one should be surprised that the AG’s office is issuing requests for documents and interviewing witnesses,
There’s no doubt that if you spend much time on the internet, you’re going to be buried in an avalanche of false claims, exaggerations, conspiracy theories with no basis in fact, and outright, bald-faced lies from politicians of the right, left, and center.
The “Information Age” has become a nightmare from which we are unable to awaken. As it turns out, there is, indeed, such a thing as too much information. We are all forced to selectively filter what information we process, resulting in our natural biases playing a large role in what information we actually absorb.
Take the border crisis. Whom do you believe? Whose opinion do you trust?
This has not exactly been a secret, if you have been paying attention for the last 8 months.
But Joe Biden’s performance in the press conference on Thursday — which took place ONLY because Democrat party-supporting media organizations had begun to question why he had not yet appeared in a press conference setting since the inaugural — confirmed the unspoken truth: that Joe Biden is only a prop, not the leader of the free world.
My RedState colleague Nick Arama did this story yesterday on photographs which captured the “cheat sheets” Biden had to use at the podium to assist him in picking the reporters he should call on

The University of Oxford is considering scrapping sheet music for being 'too colonial' after staff raised concerns about the 'complicity in white supremacy' in music curriculums. Professors are set to reform their music courses to move away from the classic repertoire, which includes the likes of Beethoven and Mozart, in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement.
University staff have argued that the current curriculum focuses on 'white European music from the slave period', according to The Telegraph.(Snip) It claimed that teaching musical notation had 'not shaken off its connection to its colonial past' and would be 'a slap in the face' to some students.
The nation’s very first “vaccine passport” is coming to the Big Apple.
The program, dubbed the “Excelsior Pass,” is an app that will allow New Yorkers to prove their vaccination status, or recent history of a negative COVID-19 test, in order to gain entry to events and businesses, Governor Cuomo announced in a news release Friday. “Similar to a mobile airline boarding pass, individuals will be able to either print out their pass or store it on their smartphones using the Excelsior Pass Wallet app,” the news release explains. “Each Pass will have a secure QR code, which participating businesses and venues
On Thursday, former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele on MSNBC’s “The Beat” predicted there would be consequences for Republican lawmakers and Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) for passing sweeping changes to Georgia’s election laws.Steele said, “The question to Republicans in Georgia and Arizona and elsewhere, who are taking rights away from Black people in places like Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit, how do you think this ends? How do you think this ends? Do you think black folks will just sit by and let you get away with this?”
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) was chosen to receive the 2021 John F. Kennedy Presidential Library’s Profile in Courage Award for having been the only Republican to vote in favor of convicting former President Donald Trump during his first impeachment trial.“The 2021 Profile in Courage Award goes to Senator Mitt Romney for his vote to convict President Donald J. Trump in 2020, and his consistent and courageous defense of democracy,” the JFK Library said. “As the first Senator to have ever voted to convict a President of his own party, Senator Romney’s courageous stand was historic.
The liberal children of evangelical preacher Rev. Rick Joyner have spoken out against their famous father's far-right rhetoric, saying it could cause violence.
Joyner, 71, who founded MorningStar Ministries and has written a slew of bestselling books, believes that 'liberals are in league with Satan and Democrats are plotting to criminalize Christianity.' [SNIP] Anna Jane - who is a podcast host and a climate change activist - is particularly perturbed by her father's recent assertion that Joe Biden is a 'Marxist who stole the election'.
She worries that her dad's extreme views may spark civil unrest.
It has been more than two months since Kamala Harris was sworn in as vice president of the United States, a historic moment for the country, as Harris is the first woman and the first woman of color to hold the second highest office in the land. Yet, Harris -- along with her husband, Georgetown Law professor Douglas Emhoff -- is still, ostensibly, living out of suitcases, unable to move into the private residence reserved for the vice president because it's still undergoing renovations. It's unclear why the renovations are taking so long, said one administration official, but it's a situation that

New Haven—You almost didn’t have to ask Maya Cedor, 6, and her brother Dresden, 8, what was so special about Vice President Kamala Harris flying into Tweed New Haven Regional Airport to visit New Haven and West Haven that would cause their family to wait for hours just to catch a glimpse of her limo driving by. All you had to do was read the sign sketched out on the blackboard Maya held: “My VP looks like me!!” OK, it was Maya’s mother, Gayathri Cedor — whose family was among about 150 people gathered along Burr and Dean streets to watch Harris’ plane land and hope for a glimpse —
Three young men were slapped with a series of gun and assault charges after a gunfight erupted in Virginia Beach, leaving eight people wounded.
The melee was one of three separate incidents that also left two people dead. The chaotic night began around 11:30 p.m. Friday when a fight broke out in a crowd on the main strip in the oceanfront resort city. Multiple shots were fired, and police arrived to find eight people with gunshot wounds, some critically hurt.

President Joe Biden lashed out at the Georgia election integrity measures signed into law by the state’s governor Brian Kemp on Thursday.(Video) “Do you have a comment on the new Georgia election law, Mr. President?” a reporter asked.“Say again?” Biden asked.“The new Georgia election law?” the reporter asked again.“It’s an atrocity,” Biden responded. “The idea — if you want any indication that it has nothing to do with fairness, nothing to do with decency, they passed a law saying you can’t provide water for people standing in line while they’re waiting to vote.
Monday, Marcch 8..A Nuclear Bomb Dropped On The Royals - Got to the Good Morning Britain studios at 4am to watch Oprah Winfrey's much-hyped interview with Prince Harry and his wife Meghan which just finished airing in the US.
