Dems to Voters: Why Do You Care About Crime?

 But for Democrats, protecting New Yorkers from violent attack is not the goal of law enforcement. The main objective of the criminal justice system is to ensure that it does not "worsen racial disparities," as explained by The New York Times' Mara Gay. 

AF Branco

Ann Coulter   "Last week in New York City, career criminal Argenis Rivera punched a woman who was pushing her 2-year-old in a stroller, then began choking her, screaming that she was a "white bitch." He let go only to attack another woman sitting on a bench, reading -- apparently, also a "white bitch" -- until he was scared off by a man with two dogs who came to the women's rescue.

"This happened at around 1 p.m. in Hudson River Park, a nice area.

"A few months earlier, Rivera had been arrested for punching a doorman in midtown Manhattan, the latest of about a dozen arrests. "But under the law, he was immediately released.

"In February, Frank Abrokwa, 37, was arrested for the 45th time. (Thanks, U.S. immigration officials! Another job well done.) Among Abrokwa's most recent arrests:

-- On Jan. 7, he was arrested for hitting a 30-year-old man, a complete stranger, on a subway platform. Released without bail.

-- On Feb. 5, he was arrested for punching a 53-year-old man, also a stranger, at the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Released without bail.

-- On Feb. 21, he was arrested for smashing his own feces into a woman's face as she sat in a subway station. Released without bail.

-- On Feb. 22 -- the very next day! -- he was arrested for shoplifting at a hardware store and threatening employees with a screwdriver. Released without bail.

 "All in all, New York's no-bail law is working great! The law is called "no bail" but really means "no jail, not ever, no matter how many times you're arrested."

"How did such a dangerous policy become law? It seems that in 2020, Democrats finally gained total control of state government, the first time that's happened since World War II, except for a single year in 1964.

"And what was the first item on the Democrats' agenda, literally the moment after they were sworn in? Crack down on Wall Street? Fill potholes and creaking bridges?

"NO! They passed a law to ensure that no criminal ever spends a night in jail!". . .

"If that's what you like, watch sports. But if you don't want criminals controlling the streets, destroying neighborhoods and committing violent crimes in parks and subway stations, please vote Republican on Nov. 8."  A.C.

Fetterman Faces Fallout From Disastrous Debate: ‘Worst Performance By Any Candidate I Have Ever Seen’

 Daily Wire

. . ."The fallout from the debate was seen in betting markets, on cable news, and on social media with pundits with various views noting that Fetterman’s obvious health concerns will likely end up being a major factor in the outcome of the race.

“ 'Even with the moderators constantly cutting Fetterman off to protect him from himself, there is nothing the media can do to spin this debate,” political strategist Andrew Surabian tweeted. “I have never seen someone so obviously mentally/physically unfit to serve in office than John Fetterman.”

"PR executive Josh Holmes wrote: “I’ve honestly never seen anything like this. The partisanship required to vote for Fetterman at this point should be studied in a lab.' ”. . .

Man Suffers 'Life Changing Injuries' After Electric Car Bursts Into Flames While Driving Down Highway

Western Journal 

"A man suffered serious injuries near Broughton, North Wales, on Tuesday morning when his electric vehicle spontaneously burst into flames.

"According to the Liverpool Echo, the man was driving near the A55, also known as the North Wales Expressway.

"His car reportedly caught on fire without warning, and bystanders rushed to the vehicle to pull the man from the flames. Paramedics attended to the victim at the scene.". . .

Then there was this one:

Another EV fire... this one from Florida earlier this summer. A Jaguar i-pace was parked in an attached garage when the owner heard "popping" sounds and saw smoke puffing from the car. The car was moved outside before it burst into flames. I guess you can call them "lucky". pic.twitter.com/JUOwthCSb4

On the Debates of Oct 25, 2022

 

Meghan McCain/ UK Daily Mail: John Fetterman's painful debate performance exposed a cynical political and media cover-up of a Senate hopeful's health. Voters and the candidate HIMSELF deserved better   "Tuesday night's debate between John Fetterman and Dr. Mehmet Oz was one of the most difficult that I have ever sat through in my life.

It made me extremely sad. It was uncomfortable to watch. Quite frankly, it never should have happened. But most importantly, Americans cannot pretend that we didn't witness what we witnessed last night.

"We saw a man in the throes of a difficult recovery from a stroke. And we were exposed to a political and media scandal. I would go so far as to call it a cover-up.

"Now, you cannot be human without feeling for John Fetterman. Above all else, he is a man with a family and a compelling political career. He is a man with hopes and ambitions, who was nearly killed by a stroke as he was on the verge of realizing - no doubt - a dream. And nonetheless, as he said last night, he got back up.

"Of course, we've known for weeks that John Fetterman had lingering problems from his stroke.". . .

John Fetterman debate was painful and shameful — he is physically incapable of being a senator  . . ."It’s an act of personal malpractice on the part of those who encouraged him to continue because this singularly upsetting performance is not the way any person on this Earth — and particularly not someone who suffered a calamitous brain shock — should become famous or notorious or be remembered."

Nexstar Fires Back at Fetterman Who Blamed the Caption System for His Performance

Fired-up Lee Zeldin brings the fight to Gov. Hochul, decisively wins only NY governor debate  "If Gov. Kathy Hochul was going to give him only one debate, Rep. Lee Zeldin wasn’t going to waste a second making nice. The Republican challenger brought the fight and focus that he has displayed on the campaign trail and scored a decisive victory Tuesday night.

"This wasn’t a knockout, but a victory on points because he made specific and realistic promises to improve life in New York. Hochul, meanwhile, mostly played defense.

"Even when she played it well, she never really laid out a vision of what four more years would look like and how they would be different from now.". . .

Gretchen Whitmer left thrashing after tangling with Tudor Dixon in Michigan debate

Elections are won, not just with bad Democrats with bad records that are badly defended, but by having good candidates on the other side.  Without the latter, Democrats stay in power forever.  Dixon did a good job forcing Whitmer to answer for her hideous record as governor.  Whitmer was able only to deliver insults such as "conspiracy theorist" in return, which has the strength of a popgun on armor.  Not surprisingly, polls are now showing Dixon a point or two ahead of Whitmer, in what has been considered a fairly "safe" blue state.  Whitmer's debate performance and Dixon's willingness to fight may have sealed Whitmer's fate now.  It couldn't come to a more oppressive and arrogant governor.

WELL, THAT WAS WEIRD  . . ."The debate was hosted by two (lame) moderators. The format presented questions that required answers in quiz-show bites ranging from 15 to 60 seconds as dictated by the moderators with an old-fashioned call bell marking the expiration of the time afforded. “Mr. Oz, I’ll give you 15 seconds to respond.” “Mr. Fetterman, you have 30 seconds.”

"I thought the format worked to Fetterman’s advantage. He was repeatedly saved by the bell when he only had a three-second thought. And yet it is difficult to see how he or the falsehoods peddled on his behalf can be taken seriously after last night.

"Fetterman could not understand the questions posed to him in oral form. He was served by a mostly unseen large screen behind the moderators. The screen presented a running transcript of the debate in closed captions. Questions posed to Fetterman were frequently followed by delays of several seconds as he read them on the screen before answering. The time delay made it seem like the questions were phoned in from outer space.". . .Scott Johnson, Powerline

Kathy Hochul on the Need to Lock Up Criminals: ‘I Don’t Know Why That’s So Important to You’  “We’re halfway through the debate, and she still hasn’t talked about locking up anyone committing any crimes,” Zeldin said, to which Hochul responded, “Anyone who commits a crime under our laws, especially with the change we made to bail, has consequences. I don’t know why that’s so important to you.”

Zeldin: "This governor still has not talked about locking people committing any crimes."

Election Denial Will Win

Conrad Black

 Despite nearly two years of prosecutors’ outrageous shakedowns to extort inculpatory evidence under the corrupt American plea bargain system, no link between the wrongdoers of “1/6” (jargon attempting to link it to “9/11″) and Trump has been exposed. This is just another attempt at bloodless Trump assassination.

"All indications now are that the Democrats are finally about to pay for using hate of Donald Trump as a substitute for governing for two years, just as, for four years prior to that, they used Trump hate as a substitute for normal opposition.

"The entire fabric of myths, frauds, and defamations that the national political media have conveniently held up as a safety net for the Democratic Party and this terribly incompetent administration is about to disappear, and the Democrats will finally carry the can for 14 years of incompetence and venality—10 failed years under Barack Obama and Joe Biden, with a four-year interlude when frenzied antagonism to the Trump administration was a divertissement of shamefully unconstitutional and obstructive opposition.

"The greatest liberation of all in the national purgation that now seems likely in the midterm elections in two weeks will be the debunking of the totalitarian fiction that the 2020 election was unquestionably fair. This fraud hangs around the neck of America like an albatross and has been repeated like a catechism by practically every member of the national political media for two years. The ranks of Congress and of the nation’s governors will be crowded with highly motivated, capable, and ethically elected occupants who have campaigned explicitly and energetically on the alleged fraudulence of the 2020 presidential election result.". . .

. . ."Trump did everything he reasonably could to warn the speaker of the House and the mayor of Washington of possible disorder and to encourage the presence of adequate forces to assure the Capitol’s security. Despite nearly two years of prosecutors’ outrageous shakedowns to extort inculpatory evidence under the corrupt American plea bargain system, no link between the wrongdoers of “1/6” (jargon attempting to link it to “9/11″) and Trump has been exposed. This is just another attempt at bloodless Trump assassination."

Police Make Second Arrest in Brutal Beating of Rubio Canvasser; Victim Maintains Attack was Politically Motivated

 National Review

"Police in South Florida have made a second arrest in connection with a vicious weekend attack on a Marco Rubio campaign worker who told authorities he was attacked “because he was a Republican,” according to an arrest report.

 "Rubio first tweeted about the attack on Monday. He has highlighted the case as an example of anti-Republican media bias, because local and national media have cast doubt on the accusation that the attack was politically motivated. Rubio believes the latest police report clearly backs his assertion that his canvasser was attacked over his Republican politics.

“ 'When a republican volunteer is savagely beaten the traditional media treats the victim as the criminal and the criminal as a nice young man who likes fishing & just made a mistake,” Rubio said, noting reporting from the Miami Herald.

 “ 'Local media spent 2 days treating the GOP canvasser who was attacked as a criminal & denying the attack was politically motivated Now a second arrest, a police report & surveillance video shows how biased & irresponsible the narrative they were pushing was' ”. . .

Russian court upholds WNBA star Brittney Griner's 9-year prison sentence

CBS News  "A Russian court on Tuesday rejected an appeal by U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner of her nine-year prison sentence for drug possession, a step that could move her closer to a possible high-stakes prisoner swap between Moscow and Washington.

"The eight-time all-star center with the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and a two-time Olympic gold medalist was convicted Aug. 4 after police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport.

"Griner, 32, was not at the Moscow Regional Court hearing but appeared via video link from a penal colony outside the capital where she is held.

"At her trial, Griner admitted to having the canisters in her luggage but testified she packed them inadvertently in her haste to make her flight and had no criminal intent. Her defense team presented written statements saying she had been prescribed cannabis to treat chronic pain.". . .

Brittney Griner's National Anthem Stance Mocked – PJ Media   . . ."One might now ask what kind of a “stand” was Griner wanting to take? More importantly, what kind of “stand” should we take regarding a pro athlete who enjoyed her oppression in America so much that she became fabulously wealthy and had the freedom to marry a female spouse — something that she might be arrested for in Russia?

"Brittney Griner wants the American people to stand behind her and demand that Joe Biden exchange her for a convicted terrorist responsible for murdering American servicemen and women. Arms dealer Viktor Bout is the worst of the worst and a man, if set free, who would almost certainly go back to murdering innocent people.

"Should we back her even though she insults and disrespects the anthem that unites us regardless of color, creed, or politics?"

The Man without a country":

Governor Ron DeSantis Endorses Senate Candidate Joe O’Dea, Who Vows to Campaign Against Donald Trump

  The Conservative Treehouse  "A week ago, Colorado senate republican candidate Joe O’Dea said on CNN, “I don’t think Donald Trump should run again.” He quickly added, ” I’m going to actively campaign against Donald Trump and make sure that we have got four or five really great Republicans right now; Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley and Tim Scott.”

"President Trump blasted O’Dea the following day {link}."

"Keep in mind, Ron DeSantis is a governor who campaigns on his success as a governor and has been rallying exclusively for governor candidates.  However, despite not endorsing the republican candidate in the Colorado state race (Heidi Ganahl), Governor DeSantis went out of his way to support the only explicitly anti-Trump Senate candidate in 2022, Joe O’Dea.

"When Paul Ryan endorsed Ron DeSantis, you could argue that DeSantis never asked for it.  When Jeb Bush endorsed DeSantis, again you could argue that DeSantis never asked for it. However, the transparency of DeSantis endorsing O’Dea who has stated his intent to actively campaign against any MAGA candidate… well, you can’t say that had nothing to do with DeSantis.". . .

. . ."The DeSantis 2024 organizers are a mixture of allied republican establishment figures, corporate party donors and former Ted Cruz base supporters (Never Trumpers) who have united in common cause to stop the MAGA working-class coalition from taking full control of the republican party.  An endorsement for DeSantis from Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger is increasingly likely as soon as the midterm election is over.

. . ."Ron DeSantis is increasingly being exposed by his own actions/inactions and the actions of others.

"Let us not pretend any longer.". . .

Here's a second opinion: People inside the Saudi government said Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was unimpressed with Biden and favored former President Trump  "Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom’s 37-year-old ruler, has reportedly mocked President Biden in private while questioning his mental state, a move that could fracture U.S.-Saudi relations at a time when the partnership is being tested following a move by OPEC+ to cut oil production and harsh criticism of the regime by American lawmakers. 

"The Wall Street Journal reported that several people inside the Saudi government said the prince preferred former President Trump and has seemed unimpressed with Biden since his days as vice president while also making fun of his gaffes.". . .

Update: Attkisson lawsuit over govt. computer intrusions

  Sharyl Attkisson

"It was January of 2013 when I first learned that forensics indicated a government intel agency had engaged in a long-term monitoring effort of my CBS computers and devices, as well as those belonging to my family.

"The remote intruders, said the forensics examiner, had monitored my key strokes, used Skype to secretly listen in on my conversations, accessed work files and photos, obtained my passwords, entered the CBS News “ENPS” news system, and installed three classified documents deep in my computer’s operating system. The bad guys then tried to erase their tracks by remotely erasing data and files. They changed the time stamps inside the computers thousands of times to thwart the reliability of any forensic examination." . . .

Democrats destroy; it's what they do

 

Weissmann Placed Paul Manafort in Solitary Confinement for 11 Months in Effort to Get Him to Lie About President Trump  

He’s just filled with hatred for apparently most Americans and certainly anybody affiliated with President Trump.  And he’s willing to do anything to destroy them. 

WashPost Uncritically Repeats Lies about Trump from J6 Cmte   . . ."The anti-Trump show trials continue in Washington, and yesterday featured the testimony of ‘surprise’ witness Cassidy Hutchinson. Hutchinson claims she was alarmed that she saw, or rather, heard from a guy who heard from a guy that maybe Trump did something superbad, or at least that’s what she heard.

"The insane claims: Trump choked his driver because he wanted to join the siege! Trump knew they brought weapons to siege the Capitol! Trump wanted to hang Mike Pence!

"The backing? Zero.

"The basic journalistic curiosity to fact check these obviously baloney claims? None.". . .

Serial Election Denier Hillary Is Back and She Has a Warning

In a bizarre video filmed far too close to her face, Clinton warns that "right wing extremists" will "literally steal" the next presidential election and says the issue "keeps her up at night." 

"Twice failed Democratic presidential candidate and serial election denier Hillary Clinton is looking past the 2022 midterm elections, where her party is expected to get trounced, and onto the 2024 presidential election.

 Hillary Clinton Delivers BlueAnon Rant Saying Republicans Are Going to 'Literally' Steal the Election  . . ."Regardless, nothing she says is true past her initial accusation. The “right-wing controlled Supreme Court” is not attempting to allow state legislators to refuse to certify electors. There’s not even a hint of that, and to this point, the Supreme Court has shown extreme deference to even getting involved in such topics. Clinton’s ranting of evil conservative Justices looking to steal the 2024 election is as nonsensical as it is delusional.". . .

Opinion | Essay;Blizzard of Lies - The New York Times by William Safire  

"Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady -- a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation -- is a congenital liar.

"Drip by drip, like Whitewater torture, the case is being made that she is compelled to mislead, and to ensnare her subordinates and friends in a web of deceit.". . . 

What to Do about Joe?

Why Biden Went Far Left   "Bill O’Reilly has reached a conclusion that has probably occurred to many people recently, namely that although Joe Biden always represented himself as a moderate regular guy with blue-collar sensibilities from Scranton, he “fooled a lot of folks, including me.”  For, O’Reilly observes, Biden has recently been full of praise for extremists, saying that he agrees with everything Rep. Maxine Waters says, which includes, after the George Floyd killing, justifying violence and praising “one of the biggest haters on television,” Joy Behar.

"Although I certainly understand O’Reilly’s reasoning, I must disagree.  My view is that the situation is far worse than he envisages.  O’Reilly’s mistake is that he is attempting to understand Joe Biden as if he is a normal person pretty much like the rest of us. The reasoning goes like this:  If an ordinary person like the rest of us were to do a sudden political about-face like Biden has done, it would probably be because he had been fooling people all along and is finally showing his true face.

"This is, however, a mistake.  One must never forget that most politicians are not like ordinary people.  Most of us are such that if we told a big public lie, for example, that we had finished in the top half our law school class when we had actually finished in bottom 11% of the class, or that we had been arrested protesting for civil rights with Nelson Mandela when we had not, or that Mitt Romney had not paid any taxes for the past decade when we knew he paid taxes, or that one’s political opponent had colluded with Russia in order to steal the 2016 presidential election when we knew that is false, or say under oath that the southern border is secure when everybody knows it is not, we would, once we had been exposed, be ashamed and have difficulty showing our faces in public for a long time. Similarly, most of us would feel deeply ashamed if we enacted policies that led to 800+ deaths at the southern border ... and so on.". . .

The Democrat Dilemma -- What to Do about Joe  

It was all fun and games for the leftists in the beginning. The man would do or say
anything they wanted -- as long as they let him play king in the Oval Office. But as his approval tanks, his usefulness is waning. Now a remarkable 72% of Americans don’t want him to run again. And that’s the trap. The Dems can’t win with him, and it won’t be easy to get rid of him. What do they do with a useful idiot, who isn’t useful anymore -- but still has the power of the presidency?

. . ."Unfortunately, there’s a recurring problem with all of these gambits. With any removal of Biden, they’re stuck with a President Harris -- whose approval (37%) is worse than Joe’s. She’s an even less useful idiot than Joe is. The woman slept her way to the top of California politics and then made the jump to VP via her intersectionality score. There is nothing in her background to indicate that she could keep the Democrat airplane from drilling a big flaming hole in the ground.". . .

Joe Biden’s Senility Is Getting Worse   . . ."Joe’s downfall may seem like it’s been a long time coming, but it really hasn’t been. If you think back on his career in politics, he’s always been a liar and he’s always lied about his own life. For someone with all the opportunities in the world to create a large footprint in history for himself, Joe Biden hasn’t done anything worth noting. 

"Honestly, his Senate career was almost completely devoid of accomplishments. The 1994 crime bill is about it, and he barely played a role in that. You really have to wonder what the people of Delaware were thinking when they kept sending Forrest Gump back to Washington.". . .
