Tucker: For the first time in history, US government is arresting people for saying things it doesn’t like…

  Revolver News  "The First Amendment guarantees the right to free speech, but it seems like the Biden regime is doing everything under the sun to quash this fundamental right. Everyday we see and feel more censorship from this regime and Americans are finding it harder and scarier to express themselves without fear of being attacked by the rabid liberal mob or even arrested by our tyrannical government.

"This is not how our founding fathers pictured America to be,  and if you really want to talk about “threats to democracy,” this is it.

"Just look at the recent conviction of Douglass Mackey for sharing a meme that mocked stupid Hillary voters… Mackey now faces ten years in prison for sharing a meme on Twitter that didn’t harm a single soul. The government’s decision to prosecute Mackey for exercising his right to express his views in a funny and satirical way should be a violation of the First Amendment. But it wasn’t for very political reasons. This case is a sign of just how far the government is willing to go in order to silence dissenting voices.

"But there’s more folks…

"In addition to targeting law-abiding Americans who mock political elites, the Biden regime is now going after left-wing black radicals who are speaking out against the Ukraine war.

"Guess what the regime is calling them? Yep, you got it, “Russian agents.' ”. . .

NYC Subway Attack Victim Slams AOC’s Call to Direct Police Funding to Teachers

"The man who attacked Gomes was a career criminal, jailed multiple times, and at one point, reportedly committed murder.' But an AOC voter?

 Townhall  A woman from Queens, New York who lost her eye in a violent attack last fall torched Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (NY) suggestion that funding for police be given to public schools, parks, and libraries. 

Elizabeth Gomes, 33, was brutally attacked at a subway station by a “homeless ex-con,” 41-year-old Waheed Foster, last year, according to the New York Post. On Monday, Ocasio-Cortez slammed Democrat Mayor Eric Adams’ decision to give “militarized” police their first raise in seven years.

“We are now at a point where officially, most officers are paid more than a teacher with a master’s degree,” Ocasio-Cortez said on the show. “We are defunding safety, defunding our public schools, defunding our public pools, defunding our parks [and] defunding our libraries.”

She added that “we are sending a message about who and what we care about.”

In an interview with Fox News, Gomes said the city has “lack of safety, lack of not having the right people there around us to take care of us when we need them.”

“At that moment, when I was running up the train station, I wasn’t thinking about calling up a teacher or calling a lifeguard for a pool. I was thinking about calling the police.”

50 ways to protect our Joe? -

 The issue here is that a letter was signed giving credibility to Biden's message that the whole thing was disinformation.  That smells bad and every one of the 50 should be brought before the Congress to explain their signature.

 American Thinker  "Remember that letter that hit the front pages about Russia disinformation and the Hunter Biden laptop?  It was signed by 50 intelligence experts and now we are learning that it was a bit fishy.  Could it be that the whole thing was set up to find 50 to protect the presidential candidate before the second debate?  To paraphrase Paul Simon, some Democrat was out there saying something like there must be fifty of you ready to sign a letter to protect our Joe.  

"This is the story:   

Joe Biden’s presidential campaign prompted former acting CIA Director Mike Morell to “help Biden” by organizing 50 colleagues to sign a letter in October 2020 falsely claiming that damning emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop published by The Post were Russian disinformation.

In private sworn testimony, Morell told the House Judiciary Committee that Antony Blinken, now secretary of state, was the senior campaign official who reached out to him “on or before” Oct. 17, 2020, three days after The Post published an email from the laptop suggesting Hunter had introduced his Ukrainian business partner to his father, then-Vice President Biden.

Morell, identified as a potential CIA director under Biden, said he organized the letter to “help Vice President Biden… because I wanted him to win the election.”

Alvin Bragg Doubles Number of Felons Freed Without Bail -

  Moonbattery

As recently as the 1990s, Democrats understood the necessity of three strikes laws. In those days, Democrats would often side with law-abiding citizens against sociopaths. Things have changed. Hochul had better scramble to keep up.

" Meanwhile, as Soros-appointed Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg strategically attempts to secure the Republican nomination for Donald Trump with deliberately absurd criminal charges, real criminals run free:

The proportion of cases in which the Manhattan DA’s office has not asked for felony suspects to be held on bail has more than doubled since 2018, according to its own data. …

Campaigners have accused officials of ‘a depraved indifference to human life’ and pointed to a spate of recent cases in which suspects have been released without bail before going on to commit heinous crimes.

"Small price to pay for social justice, right liberals?

"The Trump case hinges on promoting an old alleged misdemeanor to multiple felonies.

Meanwhile, data shows [Bragg] is increasingly downgrading felonies to misdemeanors, contributing to fewer cases being bail eligible.

"Not even Kathy Hochul has the belly for Bragg’s level of moonbattery:

[Hochul] has previously blasted Bragg for ‘going soft’ after he released without bail a man who terrorized McDonald’s patrons with an ax.

"Just another example of civilization unraveling. '. . .

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg proposes spending $20 million taxpayer dollars on female crash test dummies

"Who are the dummies now?"

 American Thinker   "Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has proposed that the Department of Transportation include  $20 million for female crash-test dummies in its 2024 fiscal budget. That Buttigieg -- famous for his love of females though he may be -- wants to spend vast sums of taxpayer dollars on feminine crash dummies seems odd in the current cultural climate in which we salute all things non-binary.

"Nonetheless, Mayor Pete’s proposal has already garnered support from several House Democrats. For example, Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut praised Buttigieg’s plan during a recent House Appropriations Subcommittee meeting. DeLauro stated that the use of female crash dummies would be a major step forward in the fight against “gender inequity”.

"Say what? Unlike humans, who are either one sex or another, crash dummies can’t be gendered…as they are not living beings. But, in today’s world, nothing can stand in the way of insanity.

"How will manufacturers make crash dummies “female?” Will they be shorter and lighter? Have big breasts and wear lipstick? Carry a purse? Will they tell the “male” crash dummies to slow down and ask for directions? This would seem kind of stereotypical and/or misogynistic in this day and age, wouldn’t it?

"How can we even have female crash test dummies if we don’t even know what an actual woman is?". . .

"And, as one might predict, Democrats found something to like in every bit of questionable spending there was — in particular, Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro, perhaps best known to casual congressional observers as “the one with the purple hair you occasionally see screaming on C-SPAN.' ”

Hakeem Jeffries Shows How Black Racism Is Baked Into The Cake

Leftist POC's and their spokes-tool Obama-mentored Joe Biden will not let it go. Let our nation rot away as long as it gets votes. TD

  American Thinker  "As one would expect, Hakeem Jeffries, the first Black minority Speaker of the House, denied his history as a racist. Like many blacks, he may believe he can’t be a racist because blacks don’t have the “power to effectuate their prejudices,” or when blacks slur whites, they aren’t slurs because they’re truisms to achieve equity. Jeffries’ position highlights why American anti-racism programs won’t be successful until they eliminate that mindset and, instead, encourage blacks to be honest about their racism.

Jeffries

Black economist Walter Williams said: “Racial discrimination and racism in our country could have earned a well-deserved death, but it has been resurrected by race hustlers and poverty pimps as I call them, such as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton… who make a living on the grievances of blacks.” If Williams were still alive, he would have a longer list of well-known race hustlers, like Hakeem and several other senior people in Washington.

In 2013, Hakeem was asked about his overtly racist and anti-Semitic Uncle Leonard Jeffries. He said he had only a vague recollection of Leonard’s controversial positions. “There was no internet during that era.”

Last week, articles surfaced that made a mockery of his answer. Hakeem had invited his uncle to speak at Hakeem’s college, Binghamton University. Jewish students objected, noting the recent controversy surrounding Leonard’s being asked to step down as the Chairman of Black Studies at the City College of New York after a speech in which he called the president of the college the “Head Jew” of the “kabala” of Jews running the college. He also said Jews financed the slave trade.". . .

Commenting on race baiter and anti-Semite Al Sharpton, Kamala said, “Rev, I love you! And I thank you, on behalf of all of us, everyone, for all that you do and all that you are ... you are always a voice of truth ... you are part of the conscience of our country.”

A Lesson in Corporate Wokeness: The Disaster After Making Aunt Jemima a Pariah

"Though it is finally cooling, lingering effects are still seen with the cultural furor surrounding the beer brand Bud Light. There were a number of missteps regarding the poor decision to involve transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, and one of the aspects that have come to light is how those in charge of the brand have been engaging in corporate woke culture.

"Many have seen the video of Alissa Heinerscheid, the VP of Bud Light, laying out her intentions for the beer brand to use a lexicon of woke culture and insult her out-of-touch customer base. But she is not alone. Also involved in things was Anheuser-Busch's vice president of communications, Jennifer Morris. In a prior interview, she laid out some of the goals for the company as she envisioned things:

Anheuser-Busch is in a unique position to bring attention to DE&I issues in a way that brings consumers along on the journey to drive positive change and create a more equitable world…we can leverage our scale and resources to further conversations around DE&I and help consumers understand the difference they can make as individuals. . .

 Have a Cold Bud Light, Not a Woke One; Anheuser-Busch blundered badly by indulging ESG.  "Anheuser-Busch is losing customers over Bud Light’s partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, but the company’s problem is more fundamental. The brewer has fallen in line with other companies engaged in “stakeholder capitalism,” which prioritizes broad social issues over shareholder value."...
