Episode 621 – There Are How Many Bullets in a Round?

Amazingly, a new Illinois law will make Chicago worse.

Apparently keeping kids out of school for two years was a bad idea.

And everything is racist.

 

Some News

Here’s some news:

  • Joe Biden gets another COVID booster. I thinks this makes it 14 or something like that.
  • The New York Supreme Court ruled that those who were fired for not getting vaxxed need to be reinstated and will receive backpay.
    • Ouch!
    • 1400 employees were fired in New York City alone.
  • Brittany Griner, the WNBA player who brought drugs into Russia and got caught, had her 9 year sentence upheld in Russia. At least she won’t have to listen to the Star Spangled Banner for a decade.
  • Something you won’t hear in the mainstream media, a Marco Rubio canvasser was beaten up while working in Hialeah, Florida.
    • Marco Rubio tweeted: “Last night one of our canvassers wearing my T-shirt and a Desantis hat was brutally attacked by 4 animals who told him Republicans weren’t allowed in their neighborhood in #Hialeah #Florida. He suffered internal bleeding, a broken jaw & will need facial reconstructive surgery.”
    • I guess this is another example of all this right-wing violence. By that I mean violence done to the right-wing.

Kamalaism

Poor Karin Jean Pierre had a rough day yesterday.

Here, she is being asked about the border crisis and the 2.4 million people that have crossed:

When human being breathe out, we release carbon dioxide which, we have been told, damages the environment. How much damage did Jean Pierre do to the environment with that long winded answer?

She could have saved the minute and forty-five second, and maybe a polar bear or two, by just saying, “We are not going to do anything about it.”

 

Some things:

  • Trump, Trump, Trump.
  • The reality, Biden hasn’t created one job. We just got to pre-pandemic levels and the unemployment rate, though good, is still higher than it was under Trump.
  • What does Trump’s tax cuts have to do with the question?
  • The American Rescue plan was rejected by Republicans because the pandemic was over and blowing $1.4 trillion into the economy would cause inflation. Oh, yeah, it did cause inflation.

Here’s Joe Biden being Joe Biden:

What? Last I heard, a bullet and a round are the same thing. Glad he’s in charge of gun control policy.

Ted Cruz, the Senator from Texas, has released a new book. So he is doing his rounds with the media. One show he went on was The View. This takes balls, but Cruz knows that the combined IQ of The View is like eight.

This clip just shows the hypocrisy of Leftist thought:

Some things:

  • Notice, he’s always interrupted. That’s what these people do. They don’t want the message to get out.
  • Cruz is telling them that Democrats have been bitching about how the 2016 election was stolen and Whoopie yells, “It was!”
  • She doesn’t know what an Antifa riot is? She should just walk through Portland. They are still causing problems.

It’s Going to Get Worse?!

Chicago had fifty shooting this past weekend and a bunch of deaths. Just when you thought that city could not get more dangerous, in comes the state government.

Last year, Gov. JB. Pritzker signed into law the SAFE-T Act (the Safety, Accountability, Fairness and Equity-Today Act). This bill is the same type of justice reform that is implemented in New York.

Kareem Butler, pretrial justice fellow of the Chicago Appleseed Center for Fair Courts, said of the bill:

“We’d be ending wealth-based jailing and restoring the presumption of innocence in the courtroom, which is something that is really under fire and it is not valued under our current system.”

Some of the things it does:

  • Elimination of cash bail.
    • Very vague.
    • This constitutes a narrowly defined “danger standard.”
    • But the bill’s language also appears to enumerate a subset of crimes for which only a risk of flight can be used to deny release. Those crimes include aggravated battery, robbery, burglary, aggravated DUI, kidnapping, vehicular homicide, and all drug offenses.
    • SAFE-T Act has removed the danger standard and precluded judges’ discretion.
    • Either way, the decision to release someone on bail requires a formal hearing within 48 hours of arrest—far too soon for prosecutors to gather the necessary evidence to prove either danger or a risk of flight.
  • requirement for police body cameras
    • outlines a complex set of rules for when officers must have bodycams turned on or off. Law-enforcement sources claim that the rules are too convoluted to work on the street, setting up criminal-court challenges over footage that will inevitably be deemed “missing.”
  • mandates that detainees be allowed to make three phone calls from each location at which they are held.
    • This is going to be a logistical nightmare.
  • Downgrade crimes. For example, trespassing is no longer an arrestable offense. You’d only get a ticket.

Needless to say, law enforcement, judges and prosecutors are pissing on this 800-page bill, but politicians have no idea what they thing. Or just don’t care. This bill was never debated or open to argument from the public. It was presented and voted on almost immediately.

It’s going to become the wild west in states like Illinois, California and New York because people are going to start protecting themselves.
