We haven’t talked much about the Derrick Chauvin trial in the killing of George Floyd. You know, the killing of a guy that ended up starting riots that caused about $3 billion dollars of damage last summer.
Well, I think we need to get ready for some more riots because it ain’t going well for the prosecution.
The Trial
The prosecution, so far, is getting killed in the Derrick Chauvin trial.
The prosecution’s first several witnesses were emotional and gave nothing as far as evidence.
They brought the trainer of the ME who said she thought that he died is asphyxiation. This is not evidence.
The ME who did the autopsy said that autopsy proved asphyxiation but saw no trauma on the neck.
The ER doctor, who said it was probable asphyxia. Floyd was already dead. He admitted that drugs could cause the asphyxia.
Floyd had twice the lethal dose of fentanyl in his symptom.
Floyd’s girlfriend said Floyd overdosed a couple of weeks earlier.
The police chief, a witness for the prosecution, agreed that Chauvin put his knee on Floyd’s shoulder.
Pills were found in the car with Floyd’s DNA on them six months after Floyd’s death. What?
There was a video released by the defense that might have shown Floyd saying, “I ate too many drugs.”
The prosecution has to admit that the police officers were being kicked while the police were trying to stick him in the car.
George Floyd’s drug dealer will not testify because he doesn’t want to get charged with third degree murder. The prosecution will not give him immunity.
One of the police use-of-force trainers was asked if people being arrested claimed a medical emergency but the police didn’t believe them. He said yes.
The use-of-force was not the most aggressive. Hobbling is considered a greater use-of-force but was not used.
He also admitted police needed to be careful with drugged suspects because they are stronger.
The trainer also said it is not uncommon and officers are trained to know drug suspects may pass out but then wake up again, becoming more aggressive. They should keep control of a suspect until EMS arrives.
The defense was pointing out that the crowd was getting aggressive and that was why CPR was not performed. One person in the crowd said, “I would slap the fuck out of you.”
EMS did not perform CPR because of the aggression of the crowd. This came from the prosecution witness.
The defense asked the EMS support person about excited delirium. The prosecution objects and refuses to let excited delirium or fentanyl overdoses up. The defense asks to be able to call the prosecution witness when he starts his defense. This is bad for the prosecution!
The prosecution hasn’t even talked about race yet. They can’t see to get out of their own way when it comes to excessive force. The defense has done a wonderful job saying that Chauvin never used excessive force by using the prosecution’s own witnesses. Heck, they are even going to steal one from the prosecution.
The legacy media is reporting none of this. Is it because they are not interested? No, they are interested. They are pointing out the prosecution’s highlights. They are interviewing people who are saying Chauvin is, without a doubt, guilty. I’m watching the trial on HLN and they actually skip the trial to talk to all their Left wing buddies. All saying how Chauvin is guilty but never really bringing any big hits by the prosecution. That’s because there were no big hits be the prosecution. They’re getting killed so far.
Listen, the media wants Chauvin to get off. They want to be able to say that the system is racist. The news media is justifying future riots. There will be riots whether Chauvin is found guilty or not.
As of not, the prosecution has not proven a thing. Heck, they have hurt their own case. There is no way he gets convicted here. At best, the prosecution could hope for a hung jury. In fact, I’ll take the extra yard: if Chauvin gets convicted, he becomes a patsy in order to stop the violence we all know is going to come, no matter what.
This will invite extremism from the other side. Just watch.
Joe Biden unleashes his gun control plan through an Executive Order.
He also, in his continuing quest for unity, has tapped a radical gun control n=7ut to head the ATF.
Finally, Washington DC proves why we need guns.
We Knew This Was Coming
Joe Biden has promised to throw an Executive Order on gun control and he has done it. The problem with his gun control order is it does not do a lot and it is built on lies. But we’ll get into that later.
Let’s listen to Biden’s introduction to the order:
A few things about this introduction that really leads us to know what Biden is going to say during his speech:
First, this is not a public health crisis or an epidemic. That’s just stupid. COVID is an epidemic. I can get sick and spread it to Josie. I am not going to catch “shooting fever” and start shooting someone.
They are not infringing on the 2nd Amendment is just crap. Of course they are. And him calling them “phony” is just a tell that these new laws are going to be extreme.
The Constitution in not absolute. Of course it is. The 2nd Amendment is one of the most absolute of all the amendments. It even says gun rights “…shall not be infringed.”
The “can’t yell fire in a crowded theater” is actually not a law. It was something used by a Supreme Court Justice in 1919. It’s like the “separation of church and state” thing.
His claim of “you couldn’t own any weapon you wanted to own” is also crap. He’s either lying or knows nothing of American history. I expect it’s a little of both. People were required to own guns and cannons were allowed for private ownership because of the 2nd Amendment.
Finally, violence with guns being an “international embarrassment” annoys the hell out of me. I really don’t give a damn what other countries think of us.
So you can tell, right off, this law is going to be egregious because Joe Biden, a chronic liar, is telling us that it’s not going to be so bad for gun owners.
This is what the law does, which isn’t much, but it’s a start:
The DOJ will come up with a solution about “ghost guns”.
The DOJ has 60 days to deal with gun braces.
The DOJ will come up with a plan for “community violence intervention”. I got one: throw people in jail.
Suggestions for “red flag” legislation. This one can be scary.
Get a report on gun trafficking.
Place a ban on “assault rifles” and high capacity magazines.
He wants to eliminate protections for gun manufacturers and sellers.
Fill the “gun show loophole”. This is a big lie.
Figure out a plan for universal background checks. This is a national gun database. This is scary.
This may not seem like a lot but it’s a start. Biden doesn’t want to come off as trying to just blow gun rights up all at once. But this will lead to a gun grab eventually.
I also hate that this guy keep telling me “what I don’t need”. Here’s what I don’t need: a guy who knows nothing about guns, has armed security and ten thousand armed military around his residence telling me I don’t need a 100 round magazine or a specific type of rifle to protect myself. It’s none of his f-ing business.
Joe Biden continues to be unifying, especially in his picks for his cabinet. He decided to assign David Chipman to be the lead for the lead of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Here is Old Joe making the announcement with another flub:
It’s not a shock that Joe Biden called the ATF the “AFT”. He is so in the pocket of the teachers union, I would not be shocked that he was thinking of the American Federation of Teachers and not the department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. But I suspect it’s because Old Joe is losing his marbles.
What is shocking is his selection of David Chipman. This guy is a radical and a conspiracy theorist.
He was paid $100 K plus by the gun control lobby between 2017-2020 .
Between 2012 and 2013, Chipman was a registered lobbyist for another gun control group, Everytown for Gun Safety. He made more than $1 million in a six month timeframe.
He called for the ban of “assault weapons”.
He once said that a person who fails a background check while trying to purchase a weapon should be immediately arrested.
He has called for the Secret Service to be disarmed.
During the COVID lockdowns, he called for gun stores to be closed because he didn’t consider them “essential services”.
He was involved in the Branch Davidian raid in Waco, Texas as an ATF SWAT member. That was a screwed up incursion that killed everyone in the compound including dozens of kids. Chipman said on a Reddit board:
“At Waco, cult members used 2 .50 caliber Barretts to shoot down two Texas Air National Guard helicopters. Point, it is true we are fortunate they are not used in crime more often. The victims of drug lords in Mexico are not so lucky. America plays a role in fueling the violence south of the border.”
That never happened.
But what is most shocking is the advice he gave new gun owners:
This guy is a schmuck. It’s scry that he is heading such a powerful department as the ATF. I wonder what he’s going to do with Hunter Biden who we know lied on a federal gun background check form and illegally obtained a gun.
Does anyone wonder why people are buying guns at record rates? Does anyone wonder why crime has been up 100% over the last year? Why cities are burning? Why there are so many assaults, rapes, car jackings and murders?
Well, this story pretty much explains it.
Mohammad Anwar, a 66-year-old Uber Eats driver in Washington, D.C., was killed last month after two teenage girls assaulted him with a Taser and stole his car. The girls crashed the car, which resulted in Anwar’s death.
The girls, aged 13 and 15, were also able to reach a plea deal that allows them to “avoid detention in prison facilities and will not be held past the age of 21.”
Acting D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee III was also asked if he believed the 15-year-old girl should be tried as an adult for her alleged crime:
“The 15-year-old would not be charged as an adult. You know, obviously, this is a tragic case and, you know, charging this person as an adult [who’s] a juvenile … does not bring back the lost loved one in this case. And certainly, again, the 15-year-old would not be eligible as a Title 16 case. You know, and it’s not really pointing fingers at anyone – the courts or anyone.”
What has been further found out is that the 13 year old was under investigation for a previous carjacking. When Conte was asked about that, he said:
That’s one of many. We have one for that particular – one of the individuals involved, but there are several carjackings that we have had so far this year where we’re seeing individuals that are involved in multiple, multiple cases. So clearly I think that speaks to us really examining, as a community, the accountability that’s in place. You know, how is it that someone is charged with carjacking or is responsible for carjacking commits another carjacking and another carjacking? I think it’s the larger issue than just this one particular case.
So, in other words, this is a societal problem, not two kids doing something over and over again because they do not fear consequences. Now that they have killed someone and are still not going to see consequences to their actions, we can expect to do it again.
Racism, sexism, homophobia are reaching new lows. What’s funny, people you’d never think would call this out are calling it out. Well, I think they are because some of this stuff is getting stupid.
Let’s talk about Megan Rapido and unequal pay for women and the response from someone who could be hurt by her desires.
Then let’s take a look at the most idiotic racist claims and then a reasonable response about race from an unlikely source.
But first, remember this:
The Backlash Might Be Starting
About two weeks ago, Megan Rapinoe, the lesbian woman who plays on the Women’s US Soccer team, was invited to the White House by Joe Biden and started bitching about how women are not paid as much as men.
Here is the clip:
A few things here that I’m sure I have talked about in a previous podcast:
First off, we know her credentials. She won a lot of World Cups and Olympics. But she won them on the women’s team. That matters because people do not watch the women’s teams in greater numbers than the men’s team.
The “devalued, disrespected and dismissed” thing is just crap. She is worth $3 million dollars because she can kick a soccer ball.
She has been on every magazine cover and sports show in America.
She’s at the White House and has met two Presidents. She could have met three but she refused to meet with Trump.
She doesn’t deserve what the men make because women’s sport doesn’t make what the men’s sports make. In fact, by percentage, women make more than men based on the contract they signed.
The problem is that women’s soccer during the World Cup made $500 million while the men’s team made $4 billion. The women made 13% of the $500 million they negotiated and the men made about 8% of the $4 billion. Who’s going to make more?
The Women’s National team, with Megan Rapinoe, played a U-15 soccer team and lost 5-2.
By the way, she can try out for the men’s team. Nothing is stopping her.
Here’s the problem for these woke activists. People are beginning to push back especially at the thought of redistributing money from big ticket men’s sports to small ticket women’s sports. This is something they are doing already in the NBA and people think they should do more.
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green said he is “tired” of listening to female athletes complain about unequal pay.
“You know, I’m really tired of seeing them complain about the lack of pay because they’re doing themselves a disservice by just complaining. They are [just complaining] because they’re not laying out steps that they can take to change that. So, it’s coming off as a complaint because the people that can change it, they are just going to continue to say, ‘Well, the revenue isn’t there. The revenue isn’t there. So if you don’t bring in the revenue, we can’t up your pay.’”
“They’re going to keep using that. But the reality is, as true as that is, it’s an excuse. Everyone says ‘We support women, we support women empowerment, we support women in the workplace, we do this for women, we do x for women,’ blah blah blah. Everyone uses it to their advantage, and yet these women are not using these people who are saying these very things to their advantage. So then it just becomes a complaint that falls on deaf ears.”
Here’s the thing, he’s right. All these gals are doing is bitching without actually laying out a plan to improve the product they are trying to sell.
This is also a sign where people are going to push back against this woke crap, especially since their ideas are always about redistribution and not about meritocracy.
I love this stuff. First, it’s funny as hell. This stuff is so crazy, a normal person cannot take it seriously.
The second I love it when racists who call us racists come up with this crazy stuff because people who might not be sane will begin to be turned off and will push back.
Let’s take a look at the things that are being called racist.
Swimming/Water
There is an article I read this weekend on The Guardian called, ‘I was the only black kid in the pool’: why swimming is so white by Rob Walker
Filmmaker Ed Accura was 53 when he learned to swim, and only then through fear that his young daughter might get into trouble and he wouldn’t be able to save her.
“I live near the Thames and I said to myself, if anything happened to her and I couldn’t help, I would never forgive myself.”
Until then he suffered from what he calls Bl-aquaphobia, a word he coined to describe the inherent fear black people have of water – a fear that’s “very, very different” from their white counterparts, he says.
“With white people, it’s usually to do with something that’s happened – ‘I fell into the water, there was an accident’, something like that. But there are a lot of black people, myself included, that have aquaphobia and don’t even know it.”
According to Swim England, the sport’s governing body, 95% of black adults and 80% of black children in England do not swim, and only 2% of regular swimmers are black.
This article gets better. I actually read the entire thing to Josie, who is Mexican, and she started laughing and pointed out that she doesn’t know one Mexican, including herself, that can’t swim. I asked her is she thought it was because of white people and she said, “No, it’s because of a fear of drowning.”
I thought that was funny.
I’m going to skip some of the article but this guy made a YouTube video and an actual full feature film on this subject.
The cultural barriers to swimming – from Afro hair to dry skin, to worrying about the myth that black people have heavier bones – are born of institutional and systemic inequalities that you see right across the aquatic industry, says Danielle Obe, founding member of the Black Swimming Association, a charity which launched last year to tackle the lack of diversity in swimming.
“Our community perceives swimming as a white man’s sport. Why? Because that’s what they see!” Obe says, arguing that it’s the same messaging you see whether it’s the Swimming Teachers’ Association or The Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
She points to swim caps as a case in point – they were designed by Speedo 50 years ago for Caucasian hair, “but they don’t work for us because our hair grows up and defies gravity”.
It seems to me that swimming is not the problem, it’s water. Here’s a news flash: We all are scared of water when we first learn to swim.
Also, is someone stopping black people from swimming?
Trees are Racist
A high school on Portland named Ida B. Wells High School decided it was time to vote for a school mascot. They chose an evergreen tree. Now this makes sense because there are a lot of evergreen trees in Oregon and Stanford’s mascot is a tree.
Can you think of a less offensive thing for a mascot than a tree? It’s not a form of Indian like a Redskin, Chief or Seminole. A tree doesn’t have any connotations of violence. They just kind of stand there. Trees are free of the controversies of sex and gender. They just drop a pine cone and there’s another tree. One is not culturally appropriating a tree because they have no culture. They just stand there and live forever.
But we’d be wrong. The school administration but a hold…well…let’s here what Portland Tribune reported:
“But just before the Portland Public Schools Board of Education’s vote to approve the new mascot Tuesday, March 30, Director Michelle DePass shared community concerns of an unwanted correlation between Ida B. Wells—the historic Black activist, and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who documented and crusaded against lynching—and a tree which could conjure up reminders of hanging people with ropes from branches.”
DePass asked the mascot committee if they considered any concerns when coming up with the new mascot.
“I think everyone comes with blind spots and I think that might’ve been a really big blind spot.”
No kidding, trees need to be cancelled.
Diets are Racist
Listen to this:
That’s right! Dieting is racist.
You are listening to the audio but the video is very interesting. Each of the gals who are speaking are at least 3 bills. They’re big girls. I’m pretty sure they didn’t get that way by eating broccoli and salads. And they don’t look like they would have the self-discipline to diet to the point they will lose weight.
And when has dieting been easy for white people? There are millions of white people who can’t lose weight. There a millions of Hispanic people who can’t lose weight.
As far as the stress of racism causing black people to gain weight, that’s stupid. Here are these big girls, on a television show, complaining about racism. Hey, in the 50s and 60s, blacks would have never been given a television show to bitch about racism and being fat.
I also want to point out that their argument kind of has an opposite effect. Being as heavy as they are kind of shows that there is a lot of food out there. Are they having an obesity issue in Africa that I don’t know about? There’s still slavery in Africa and I’m pretty sure that’s stressful. What about the oppression of the women in the Middle East? They are under a lot of stress because of oppression and they don’t have an obesity problem.
Could they be fat because of their day-to-day diets and personal habits?
This is the problem with our culture. Personal responsibility. Personal responsibility is hard. Finding an excuse for personal failure and becoming a victim is easy. And the big excuse for everything being used today is racism.
This is leading Charles Barkley, who is not known for following the company narrative, made a comment about our politics today and the use of race in our culture:
“I truly believe in my heart most white people and black people are awesome people. But we are so stupid following our politicians, whether they are Republicans or Democrats, and their only job is, ‘Hey, let’s make these people not like each other. We don’t live in their neighborhoods. [We’ve] all got money. Let’s make the whites and blacks not like each other; let’s make rich people and poor people not like each other; let’s scramble the middle class.
“I truly believe that in my heart.”
Fact check: True!
Charles Barkley isn’t the sharpest tool in the drawer and I don’t believe he’s a conservative but I know he is not a Leftist. He’s also very observant of society and culture. He frequently gets into trouble for pointing this out during his commentary for the NBA.
You know who else buys this stuff? Shaquille O’Neil. Don’t forget, he was, or is, a reservist police officer. You think he’s for BLM or Antifa or defunding the police? He frequently agrees with Chuck.
The point is this extremism is going to have push back. You know why? It’s stupid and is beginning to go overboard.
Rob Manfred’s cowardice is going to crash America’s game while doing business communist China.
When the media faces a story that goes against the narrative, they go back to COVID.
And AOC is not only a moron, she’s worthless.
There’s Always Hockey
Georgia passed a new voting bill in an effort to shore up the vote and keep it clear of corruption. Some of the things that this bill will do:
Expand early voting by 17 days.
Require ID for in person and absentee voting.
Require a reason for absentee voting.
Require districts to report voter numbers after each day of voting is complete.
Require that nothing can be given to anyone in line except poll workers.
Unsolicited applications are no longer allowed.
There will be a drop box for ballots county in Georgia and each box can hold no more than 100,000 ballots.
Voting can occur from 7 AM to 7 PM. Smaller districts can end voting at 5 PM.
Voting can be done on Saturdays and Sundays.
For some reason, this stuff makes voting more restrictive. Not sure how but the lies the Democrats are laying out are flying.
They say Georgia is restricting voting times (they actually are expanded compared to New York, Virginia and Maryland).
They say requiring ID is racist because blacks don’t have or can’t get IDs and do not know how to use the Internet.
They say that the voting hours have been constricted. But that’s not true. They have actually remained the same with smaller districts being allowed to close earlier because of low populations and they allow for weekend voting.
People standing in line can’t get water. No, partisan poll watchers cannot offer water to people (which is already the law). Poll workers can give water and people can step out of line to get water or can carry water with them.
Someone, apparently, got to the MLBPA and told them how unjust this law is and they were looking into whether or not the All Star game, which was scheduled to be played in Atlanta.
Then Joe Biden, on the news and political show, ESPN, said this:
Biden in ESPN interview says he would strongly support MLB relocating the all-star game from Atlanta over the Georgia law.pic.twitter.com/xGBzsFoD6e
First off, what the Hell is the President doing on ESPN, a, supposedly, non-partisan sports channel?
Why the hell is he putting his nose into something that is up to the MLB and Georgia? Hint: propaganda.
Why is policy being driven by a bunch of baseball players that make millions and probably don’t understand the law? Why didn’t the reporter ask that question?
Who the hell says baseball players, or any athlete is a leader? They’re entertainers. That’s it. What do they know about policy?
How are the millionaires in baseball and the NBA hurt by this law? They’re millionaires because they can hit and throw a ball. That’s it.
The Jim Crowe and the water thing irritates me because it’s just a lie.
News flash: the North Carolina move by the NCAA was also wrong.
And where are the follow up questions? Why didn’t the reporter ask about what portions of the law were restrictive? There weren’t any. This was a propaganda piece made to spread lies.
The next day, MLB commissioner Robert Manfred released a memo stating that the MLB has decided to move the All Star game.
I can’t even tell you the response this got on Twitter. The Left was thrilled. The right and moderate liberals were mortified.
Brian Kemp, the Republican Governor of Georgia said in a press statement:
President Trump said the people of America should boycott baseball. Thhis is going to be a huge hit on the MLB because this is going to work. You know I am not a “boycott” fan. I just stopped watching baseball, even before Trump said anything. But I think something like this, with Trump’s backing, is going to have an impact.
Not we are hearing a couple of things about the story:
LeBron James welcomed the MLB to the “family” (pretty sure he doesn’t know anything about the Georgia law either). The NBA is down in viewership by 40% over the last three years.
Former President Barrack Obama congratulated the MLB on their decision.
President Biden’s little speech about moving the All Star game will cost Georgia $100 plus million dollars. The district that holds the All Star game voted, overwhelmingly for Joe Biden.
But the MLB signed a deal with Tencent Wednesday, one of China’s largest tech companies. This company dropped the NBA because the Dallas executive said he wanted Hong Kong to be free.
Keisha Lance Bottoms, mayor of Atlanta, applauded the decision. Wow.
Stacy Abrams said she was disappointed by the decision. She was the lead liar against the Georgia law but she wants to be governor and costing her state $100 million in All Star weekend services is not a good look.
The lying of our media and Leftist politicians is becoming really apparent.
She’s the queen of Twitter — but less successful at lawmaking.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was among the least effective members of the last Congress according to a new survey from the nonpartisan Center for Effective Lawmaking — a joint project of Vanderbilt University and the University of Virginia.
AOC introduced a total of 21 bills which the center defined as “substantive” — but that is where the story ends.
Her legislation received no action in committees, no floor votes, and none ever became law, according to the center, which takes its data from Congress.gov.
Alan Wiseman, a Vanderbilt political scientist and co-director of the center said:
“She introduced a lot of bills, but she was not successful at having them receive any sort of action in committee or beyond committee and if they can’t get through committee they cannot pass the House,”
“It’s clear that she was trying to get her legislative agenda moving and engage with the lawmaking process. But she wasn’t as successful as some other members were — even among [other] freshmen — at getting people to pay attention to her legislation.”
When looking at the legislative effectiveness of all congressional Democrats, AOC was ranked 230th out of 240 Democrats. Among the 19 Dem lawmakers from New York state, she ranked dead last.
Democratic House insider said:
“Tweeting is easy, governing is hard. You need to have friends. You need to understand the committee process, you need to be willing to make sacrifices. Her first day in Congress … she decided to protest outside of Nancy Pelosi’s office.”
A second Democratic insider who worked with her in the New York delegation added that “legislation was never her focus. It was media and narrative.”
Across the aisle, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Brooklyn/Staten Island):
“Her ludicrous policy ideas would destroy our country — Americans should be thankful she’s not effective.”
Fellow Democratic Socialist “Squad” members fared better than AOC.
Rep. Ilhan Omar sponsored 33 bills that also went nowhere, earning her 214th place.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib saw three of her substantive bills advance into committee — with one ultimately becoming law. She ranked 92nd.
Biden is about to unleash an infrastructure bill that may break the country.
A really weird story is brewing about Matt Gaetz, the Representative from Florida and it’s juicy.
And AOC is still an idiot.
An Infrastructure Bill that Doesn’t Repair the Infrastructure
During a speech in Pittsburgh, the 46th President billed his American Jobs Act.
He said the bill is a “once in a generation investment in America, unlike anything we’ve seen or done since we built the interstate highway system, and the space race decades ago. In fact, it’s the largest American jobs investment since World War II.”
The American Jobs Act seeks to “reimagine and rebuild a new economy” — specifically, by addressing the “climate crisis,” the “ambitions of an autocratic China,” and “persistent racial injustice.”
Roads, Bridges, Public Transportation and Rail
The total given to this is $621 billion. The largest portion of the bill.
$115 billion for roads, bridges and highways. This is the only infrastructure in the bill. $20 billion fund for states and localities to improve road safety, “especially for cyclists and pedestrians.”
Noting that “households of color are twice as likely to take public transportation,” the plan allocates $105 billion for the Department of Transportation to fix 24,000 buses, 5,000 rail cars, and 200 stations. Congress already provides for this and this new bill will double it.
$80 billion toward Amtrak to address the agency’s repair backlog, modernize the Northeast Corridor, and connect new city pairs.
Biden proposed a $174 billion injection into the electric vehicle (EV) market. The legislation would “enable automakers to spur domestic supply chains from raw materials to parts, retool factories to compete globally, and support American workers to make batteries and EVs,” while offering “point of sale rebates and tax incentives” for electric vehicle consumers. He wants to compete with the Chinese. News flash: electric cars are not cheap or environmentally friendly.
Biden also calls for a $25 billion investment in airports and $17 billion in the port system — which includes a “Healthy Ports program to mitigate the cumulative impacts of air pollution on neighborhoods near ports, often communities of color.” Notice, everything helps people of color. Why doesn’t this plan help all people. This is racist.
$20 billion for “a new program that will reconnect neighborhoods cut off by historic investments and ensure new projects increase opportunity, advance racial equity and environmental justice, and promote affordable access.”
Energy and Broadband Internet
This has nothing to do with infrastructure and will cost $200 billion.
The first $100 billion would push the energy grid toward “cheaper, cleaner electricity.” The plan “will use the federal government’s incredible purchasing power to drive clean energy deployment across the market by purchasing 24/7 clean power for federal buildings” in a drive to reach carbon-pollution-free power by 2035.
Another $100 billion would fund broadband internet in “unserved and underserved areas so that we finally reach 100 percent high-speed broadband coverage.” The plan clarifies that it will ensure “funds are set aside for infrastructure on tribal lands and that tribal nations are consulted in program administration,” while promoting workers’ ability to “bargain collectively.”
Need to encourage unionization in the private sector for people of color. This is racist.
Schools and Housing
Again, has nothing to do with infrastructure but will cost $213 billion.
It will “build, preserve, and retrofit more than two million homes and commercial buildings to address the affordable housing crisis.”
This spending would fund the retrofitting of “more than a million” houses for “rental opportunities to underserved communities nationwide, including rural and tribal areas.” It would also “build and rehabilitate” over half a million homes for “low- and middle-income homebuyers” by offering $20 billion in tax credits through the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act.
The legislation will use $40 billion to improve “the infrastructure of the public housing system in America” to “disproportionately benefit women, people of color, and people with disabilities.”
That’s racist.
The $213 billion in spending also includes a $100 billion payout to “upgrade and build new public schools, through $50 billion in direct grants and an additional $50 billion leveraged through bonds.” Also granting $12 billion to community colleges and $25 billion to childcare facilities, the legislation cites its resultant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Sound familiar?
Care Infrastructure
Stating that caregivers are “disproportionately women of color,” the plan would “put $400 billion toward expanding access to quality, affordable home- or community-based care for aging relatives and people with disabilities.”
That’s racist and sexist.
The plan would likewise leverage Medicaid to expand home and community-based services, which will “support well-paying caregiving jobs that include benefits and the ability to collectively bargain” — which, according to the plan, would again benefit “low-income communities and communities of color.”
Again…well, you know.
Research and Development
Biden decided that China is a threat and really decided to take a stand against them. So, he thinks spending money on technology will do it. Technology they’ll just steal.
Among these expenditures include $50 billion for the National Science Foundation’s research into “semiconductors and advanced computing, advanced communications technology, advanced energy technologies, and biotechnology.”
Biden’s legislation also sets aside $40 billion to upgrade brick-and-mortar research facilities — half of which is earmarked specifically for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and other Minority Serving Institutions.
That’s racist. Why doesn’t he fix Cal State Northridge.
The legislation would likewise build a “new national lab focused on climate that will be affiliated with an HBCU.”
In addition to the $20 billion in infrastructure improvements, Biden is calling for another $10 billion in R&D investments at HBCUs, as well as $15 billion to build “200 centers of excellence that serve as research incubators at HBCUs and other MSIs.”
Again emphasizing the issue of climate change, the legislation would spend “$35 billion in the full range of solutions needed to achieve technology breakthroughs that address the climate crisis and position America as the global leader in clean energy technology and clean energy jobs.”
Taxes
Of course, taxes will be involved. But the only tax plan he talked about was raising the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% and how he was going to tax corporations based on overseas earnings.
Guess what? That’s not going to be enough. We’ll just wait and see.
Conclusion
You know how everyone was saying that our country is systemically racist? I never believed it before but we are now. When our government creates laws and bases decisions that benefit one race over another, that creating a racist system. We had that prior to the Civil Rights Act. Just because the law benefits people of color and not whites does not make it any less racist.
This might be one of the strangest stories of the last five years. And we have had some strange stories. This involves Rep. Matt Gaetz and a really weird tale. It has everything that would make good for a movie of the week. It has sex, betrayal, spies, foreign enemies, extortion and sex.
I have no idea what’s true but something is. I don’t even think I can comment on it because it is so bazaar.
Our tale started on Tuesday. The New York Times decided to release a story saying the Rep. Gaetz was under investigation by the Department of Justice and FBI for sex trafficking. Specifically, Gaetz was traveling with a girlfriend who was 17 years old.
Gaetz went on Tucker Carlson on the night the story came out and said:
“This former Department of Justice official tomorrow was supposed to be contacted by my father so that specific instructions could be given regarding the wiring of $4.5 million as a down payment on this bribe. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that tonight, somehow, the New York Times is leaking this information, smearing me, and ruining the investigation that would likely result in one of the former colleagues of the current DOJ being brought to justice for trying to extort me and my family.”
The 17-year-old in question “doesn’t exist,” Gaetz said, adding that he has “not had a relationship with a 17-year-old. That is totally false.”
The whole thing started, according to reports, when an Air Force intelligence officer approached Gaetz for a loan of $25 million dollars. The reason was to rescue and officer in Iran named Robert Levinson. Kent had a plan to rescue Levinson and, even though the family thought he was dead, Kent said he had proof he was alive. He was working with attorneys named Davis McGee and Stephen Alford.
Alford is a little sketchy. He already faced charges of extortion and fraud in the past. Gaetz told them to fuck off and away they went. But they weren’t done.
The went to Gaetz’s father Don. Don is a pretty rich guy, worth over $400 million. Don got a phone call and agreed to meet with Kent and Alford. They gave him a document describing a mission called Operation Homecoming. It described the They said that there was an investigation by the DOJ of Matt sue to corruption and moral indiscretions. Specifically, Matt was have orgies with underage girls.
That’s got to be awesome. Nothing really new in Washington DC.
According to these clowns, they were prepared to make all this go away and promised Matt a pardon from President Biden. Supposedly, the Biden administration was aware of all of this. This meeting happened on March 16th of this year.
Don Gaetz had the document and it was released. It said:
“In exchange for the funds being arranged, and upon the release of Mr. Levinson, the team that delivers Mr. Levinson to the President of The United States shall strongly advocate that President Biden issue a Presidential Pardon, or instruct the Department of Justice to terminate any and all investigations involving Congressman Gaetz.”
Kent, McGee, Alford and the White House were questioned about this and no one commented. Doesn’t that make you go, “hmmm”.
Listen, Gaetz is a climber and no angel. He liked dating young women. This was known. Today, there is a story about him showing nude pics of his conquests to other representatives and, apparently, he’s not that popular in Congress. But…
Let’s just wait and see. I can’t wait to see where this story is going to go.
Because the disaster of the border is Democrat caused and AOC made a complete ass of herself when there was a surge at the border during the Trump administration, she has been kind of quiet. Yeah, you’re not seeing her at a border facility, staring behind a chain link fence, dressed all in white spilling crocodile tears while staring at an empty parking lot. Yeah, she was actually looking at a parking lot, probably a quarter mile from the actual facility.
But you knew this pretty little sociopath was going to say something eventually because she is a Leftist dancing monkey that loves the limelight. By the way, I use the term “dancing monkey” as a metaphor and not a racial slur.
This first clip is AOC on the Rachel Maddow show. Comrade Maddow asked AOC if the $2.5 trillion dollar bill is enough:
That’s awesome. A gal who has never started a business; heck, never held a full time job, thinks that we should spend five times an already obese bill.
I also want to point out that she didn’t say a thing about infrastructure which is what this bill is suppose to be about. It’s about healthcare, creating government jobs (government dependence) and the environment. In other words, AOC is disappointed, not because Biden did not implement the Green New Deal, but he did not invest enough into the Green New Deal.
I think you should watch the entire interview because it’s hysterical. She was talking about economics being too complicated for most people then she explains her idiotic theories on how the $2.5 trillion really isn’t much because it’s spread over ten years.
This broad’s lack of understanding of basic economics is astounding. If I were her mother, I would demand Boston University give her money back.
Then there was AOC’s response to why she was not putting on a performance on the border like she did when Trump was President. She said this on Instagram:
I mean, this is so dumb I don’t even know how to address it. I don’t know if I need to address it.
What does white supremacy have to do with people illegally entering our country?
If there was so much white supremacy in this country, wouldn’t people try to leave, not get in?
“Militaristic”? Is the border patrol shooting people that I don’t know about?
Not an invasion? Armed drug cartels are actually making money bringing people over the border illegally. We are arresting 6000 people a day. That’s on pace for 2 million people this year. Border facilities at at 1500% capacity. Sounds like an invasion to me.
“Surge” and “insurgent” have nothing to do with each other.
Finally, she said in a conference that the border crisis is so “barbaric” that those caught illegally crossing the border should receive reparations. Do I even need to say anything about giving people from other countries who break our laws reparations for getting caught and being incarcerated? Does that mean we should be given murderers and other criminals reparations because they were put in prison? By the way, they were separated from their children too. Is that barbaric?
I won’t lie: I love AOC. She is entertaining. She is also the reason people will pull away from the Democrats because her stupidity makes her sound insane.
I also realize that anyone can run and become a Congressman.
Joe Biden keeps screwing up the country. And he’s not finished yet.
Andrew Cuomo may not be able to deny this one.
Oh, This Guy…
Not only is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris screwing them up, but they are also trying to cover it up and they are doing a poor job of it. Mind you, I don’t think they care. That was their goal and they are getting a lot of help.
The Border
The border crisis is becoming worse. Or should I say, continues to be bad:
It is estimated that 6000 people are picked up per day. That’s close to 200% a month.
It is estimated that there will be 25,000 underaged, unattended children to cross this year. That’s 2400% up from last year.
The cartels are heard on camera saying they are making a lot of money, $14 million a day.
The border centers are at 1500% over capacity. So centers are just being released.
The Biden administration is asking foster homes to take in more children up to 26 per home.
10 to 20% of thos who cross have COVID.
How does the Biden administration deal with this?
Kamala Harris has been appointed border czar, whatever that is.
Neither Biden nor Harris has visited the border yet and have no plans to.
The gave $86 million for the housing of the illegals in hotels and opened other facilities including a Texas football stadium.
It has just been reported that illegal alien children are being taught in California while schools for American have been shut down over the last year.
There is a gag order on anyone seeing the border centers. Even the media is beginning to call this out (audio-Chris Wallace, Fox News).
Ted Cruz was harassed by a Biden appointee when he started filming what he was seeing (audio- Ted Cruz R-Tex).
Chris Wallace and Jen Psaki on Fox News:
Ted Cruz and a Biden staffer on the border:
Again, the lack of effort by the Biden administration shows that this is intentional. But I think the honeymoon is almost over.
Mo Money, Mo Money, Mo Money
Biden isn’t finished spending either and this has a lot of people nervous.
Will announce, on Wednesday, a $3 trillion infrastructure bill (Recovery bill after the Rescue bill).
He said the bill will create a bunch of government jobs. I hate this.
Republicans said they will not approve a bill unless they know the money is actually going to infrastructure. I hate this.
They are talking about making the $300 child credit a permanent thing.
Biden is talking about another COVID stimulus bill. I didn’t get shit from the last one and many haven’t gotten their checks from the last one. Not to mention, they haven’t spent all the money from the first stimulus.
This is idiotic and completely irresponsible.
We do not have the money. Even if we were taxed 100%, we would not have enough money for all this. It is being printed.
Inflation is going to go insane in about two years.
Taxes are going to have to be raised (more on that later).
People are learning to be independent on government.
Taxes
Remember when the income tax in the United States was suppose to be temporary? Seriously. We were only suppose to be taxed for a few years to recover from a war than it was suppose to be repealed.
Yeah, no.
Now that we are looking to spend $5 trillion in Biden’s first three months and haven’t even talked about money needed just to run the government. So, the Biden administration, right now, is looking to raise some taxes.
Here we go:
Raises taxes on any home making $400,000. This is is bullshit.
Jen Paski has let the cat out of the bag that it will be families making over $200,000.
There will be no benefits for married couples. If the family makes $400,000 (so they say) it is the entire family. There are no benefits if it is a couple make $400,000. This takes away the incentive to be married, destroying the nuclear family. This is not an accident.
They want to raise the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%. There go jobs for the working class. This is also an attack on Trump’s tax cuts.
You know what they are going to find? This isn’t going to be enough (duh!). The Democrats are going to have to get creative on how to raise money. They are not talking about this but this stuff is being mentioned.
Say goodbye to the Trump tax cuts.
Say hello to Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax.
Pete Buttigieg mentioned putting a tax on mileage one drives.
