Joe Biden’s Long Hot Spring

When Joe Biden was 21, liberalism peaked on Nov. 3, 1964, as Lyndon Baines Johnson won over 61 percent of the popular vote and 486 of the 535 electoral votes.(Snip)
Of the nine presidential elections from 1932 to 1964, Lyndon’s landslide was the seventh Democratic victory. With Johnson having recently ended the cold war embarrassment of Jim Crow with his 1964 Civil Rights Act, the Democrats were the foremost political party of the free world.(Snip)
But in 1968, LBJ dropped out and his vice president, Hubert Humphrey, could garner only 42.7 percent, a drop of 19.4 percentage points over four tumultuous years. After 1964, Democrats lost five of the next six
O.J. Simpson took to social media Thursday to address the controversy surrounding NBA star LeBron James for his tweet targeting an Ohio police officer and slam the media for showing "edited versions" of the shooting that resulted in the death of 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant.
Simpson posted a nearly two-minute-long video to his Twitter where he began by saying that while he is a "fan" of the Los Angeles Lakers star and "admires" the work he’s done to advocate against social injustices, he believes James spoke prematurely on Tuesday’s officer-involved shooting.
"You can’t fight every battle. You gotta pick your battles," Simpson said.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The superintendent of the Florida school district where 17 students and staff died in a 2018 high school massacre was arrested Wednesday after investigators said he lied to a grand jury investigating events surrounding the shooting.
Broward County Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie was arrested by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement at district headquarters and charged with perjury in an official proceeding, which is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
According to an indictment issued by the grand jury last week and released after Runcie’s arrest, the superintendent lied when he testified before the panel three weeks ago,
The National Fraternal Order of Police condemned LeBron James for using his influence to call for an attack on the police officer who shot and killed a teenage girl wielding a knife to save the life of another black girl.
“@KingJames, with his vast resources & influence, should educate himself and, frankly, has a responsibility to do so, on the facts before weighing in. This is disgraceful & extremely reckless,”(Snip) “The officer saved a young girl’s life. No amount of gaslighting will change that fact.” (Snip) the famous NBA player posted a picture of the alleged Columbus officer involved in the fatal shooting captioned with the words “YOU’RE NEXT”

Interim Columbus police Chief Michael Woods issued a final statement at a Wednesday press conference about the shooting death of a 16-year-old girl by an officer. (Snip)Donavon Brinson, who lives across the street from the foster home, saw some girls come out of that house and then he heard commotion.(Snip)He immediately thought about his security camera on his garage. He watched the footage. He saw the fight, saw the glint of the knife.
(Snip) it all happened so fast that he didn't see how the officer could have time to have done anything else.
"If the officer hadn't done what he did, I think we'd have two girls dead,"

Migrant Facility Over Alleged ‘Unbearable’
Conditions 6 replies
Last Saturday, the Biden administration abruptly closed a temporary facility housing nearly 500 unaccompanied illegal immigrant girls in Houston, Texas, a move allegedly due to the “unbearable” conditions of the facility. (Snip)Immigrant advocates had raised concern about the shelter’s conditions and questioned that NACC has no prior experience dealing with unaccompanied children. (Snip)Jose Ortega, founder and president of NACC, claimed to the Houston Chronicle that HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra personally “begged” him to take the migrant children and sign the $4 million contract.
“I’m a pastor. We were not looking for a contract. We were not applying for a contract for us to make money—this was thrown on us,” Ortega said.
Below is my column in the Hill on two issues that arose on the final day of the trial of Derek Chauvin that could now feature prominently in any appeal. There will likely be an array of conventional appellate issues from the elements of the murder counts(Snip) However, two issues were highlighted on the final day which could play a role in the appeal.
The first on the denial of a venue change and the sequestering of the jury is very difficult make work on appeal. However, there are strong arguments to be made in this case. I believe Judge Cahill should have granted the venue change and
Police officers were called to the 3100 block of Legion Lane, north of Chatterton Road, in Columbus, Ohio, just after 4:30 pm for a disturbance call. When police arrived 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant (black female) was in the process of attempting to stab one woman with a knife and then attempting to stab a second woman (see screengrab below). One officer opened fire, Ma’khia Bryant was shot and killed.
Columbus police released the bodycam footage from the shooting.

PITTSBURGH — They’re still there, planted in front of stately homes in wealthy suburban neighborhoods, on flagpoles in middle-class communities, and along the front stoops of inner-city row houses.
Whether they say “Trump 2020” or simply “Trump,” there are plenty of people who have left their sentiments planted on their own personal hill.
It is not just here in Pennsylvania. The signs are not hard to spot as you travel to the Great Lakes, the Midwest, and Appalachia.
The reason is complex. People who come from a variety of socioeconomic, religious, and political experiences formed a conservative populist coalition long before Donald Trump descended Trump Tower’s escalator in June 2015
JoeBama injected the advance racial narrative today giving support and cover for rioters in Minnesota if the outcome of the verdict in the Chauvin trial is not the “right” one according to his own views. Biden stated during media remarks: “I’m praying the verdict is the right verdict, which I think is overwhelming in my view.”To be clear, the intent of these remarks is to give cover to those who will take to the streets and riot if the jury does not “reach the right verdict”…
This is sociopathic level political manipulation by the Obama Chicago crew;
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) was clearly trying to influence the jury in the Derek Chauvin trial when she traveled to Minnesota and said Chauvin should be found guilty, Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz charged on Tuesday.
“Her message was clearly intended to get to the jury—‘If you will acquit or if you find the charge less than murder, we will burn down your buildings. We will burn down your businesses. We will attack you. We will do what happened to the witness—blood on their door,’” he said during an appearance on Newsmax, referring to how the former home of defense expert Barry Brodd was recently vandalized.

President Joe Biden on Tuesday filed an appeal seeking to force doctors and hospitals to perform potentially harmful transgender-related procedures and surgeries even if they hold objections.As outlined by BECKET Law’s Luke Goodrich, a court in January struck down the administration’s move to punish doctors who don’t perform transgender-related procedures for supposed “sex discrimination.” Biden on Tuesday officially appealed the ruling.“The plaintiffs are religious doctors, hospitals, and clinics who joyfully serve ALL patients regardless of sex or gender identity. They routinely provide top-notch care to transgender patients for everything from cancer to the common cold,” Goodrich outlined Tuesday.
Today it was reported that the US Postal Inspection Service was spying on conservatives in America. We believe we discovered where they got their list of conservatives to spy on. Today we found out that the US Postal Service is spying on Americans who just happen to be conservative.(Snip) The spying program is known as iCOP, or Internet Covert Operations Program, and involves goons trolling through social media sites to look for “inflammatory” posts – and then sharing the information with other government agencies.
More than two dozen angry protesters swarmed the Oklahoma House of Representatives chamber during a session on Wednesday to demonstrate against several bills that target demonstrators and trans girls. The House and Senate were forced to lock their chambers as the protesters entered the Capitol's House gallery on the fifth floor while lawmakers were in session. Video shows the group chanting 'no justice no peace' and 'Black Lives Matter'. But others heckled legislators, with one screaming 'you are a [expletive] disgrace to the whole country!' One of the bills the group showed up to demonstrate against was a Republican-backed anti-protest bill
Governor Ron DeSantis is on a collision course with Joe Biden and what is already the most radical administration in American history.The Florida Republican continues to elevate his national profile. His remarkable success in handling the COVID crisis by balancing the historic health disaster with protecting the economy & preserving civil liberties make him a rising star.With a possible 2024 White House bid in his future (if former President Donald J. Trump chooses not to run again) DeSantis has positioned himself to emerge as the nation’s top critic of Biden. The governor has already butted heads with Sleepy Joe when he recently sued the administration
Evidence of a "cold" American civil war has been playing out in the streets of America for the last year and the reality is it’s been percolating for decades. (snip) Such was the beginning of the journey that brings us to America circa 2021. Today you’re either on the side of angels or the side of Hitler. There’s no middle ground. George Washington was a slave-owning racist and nothing else matters. Michael Brown and George Floyd were innocent victims of racist cops. Period. All women should be believed… unless they accuse Democrats. There is an infinite number of genders. Clearly.
Chris Christie is seriously considering launching a 2024 bid to try his hand at winning the White House again, at least three sources familiar with his thinking told Axios.The former Republican New Jersey governor toasted to friends, according to the Wednesday report, that so far he would be the only Republican in the 2024 primary field with executive experience.Christie, 58, has also revealed to confidants that whether former President Donald Trump runs or not will not affect his own decision on the matter.If Trump doesn't run, the field would be wide open and likely muddied with another crowded primary contest.
MINNEAPOLIS — The judge who oversaw Derek Chauvin’s trial in George Floyd ’s death said the jury would remain anonymous until he deemed it safe to release their names, in an effort to not just protect the 12 jurors from outside influence but also to preserve Chauvin’s right to a fair trial. Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill hasn’t said how long their names might stay secret. He told potential jurors in the runup to the trial that their names would come out eventually, but assured them he would protect their privacy as long as he feels it’s necessary. How Long
President Joe Biden issued a call to action to world leaders on Thursday, asking them to work together to keep the earth's temperature from rising too high in the next decade, arguing it would result in new jobs and economic opportunities.'The signs are unmistakable. The science is undeniable. The cost of inaction is mounting,' he said in his speech kicking off his Climate Summit.'This is a moral imperative, an economic imperative,' Biden argued. 'Time is short, but I believe we can do this. And I believe that we will do. Thank you for being part of the summit.'In his remarks, Biden stressed the importance of working together but also emphasized

CHICAGO, IL– Mayor Lori Lightfoot is considering a momentous change to a Chicago police procedure, stating she wants a revised policy in place before summer. [Tweet] According to reports, the change in policy will require an officer to get a supervisor’s permission before beginning a foot chase. The issue gained new urgency after an officer reportedly chased and fatally shot 13-year-old Adam Toledo. Lightfoot said:
“No one should die as a result of a foot chase.”
Since the fatal shooting, rewriting police policy on all foot chases has no become a hot topic
Black Lives Matter protesters were caught on camera harassing diners outside a family-owned Brooklyn taqueria—with dozens screaming at them to “stay the f–k outta New York.” “We don’t want you here,” screamed a ringleader standing on a table as he led an angry call-and-response chant from his comrades who framed the outdoor dining area of Maya Taqueria in Prospect Heights. “We don’t want your f—ing money! We don’t want your f—ing taqueria, owned by f—ing white men!” he screamed, with the mob repeating each line, as caught in video by The Post.

Well, something set her off as this girl can be seen holding a knife, menacing another girl who is pinned to the car hood, She’d previously attacked another girl, who ended up on the ground. I’ve posted several articles. Each has something different in it. It is clear that this will be another messy deal, although the neighbor across the street, whose surveillance camera caught the situation and her killing, said that it all happened so fast, he didn’t see how the officer had any choice. That if he hadn’t shot her, there’d have been another dead girl.
