[Breitbart] White House press secretary Jen Psaki praised President Joe Biden’s first-year gun control efforts even though 12 cities, all Democrat-run, broke annual homicide records during Biden’s first year as well.
Psaki tweeted: “In 2021, President Biden took more executive action to stop gun violence than any President has ever taken in their first year.”
She also mentioned Biden’s latest gun control, an executive action by the DOJ that requires Federal Firearms License holders (FFLs) to “certify that they have available secure gun storage or safety devices.”
Psaki did not mention that 12 Democrat-run cities broke their annual homicide records in 2021.
ABC News listed the 12 cities as:
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Austin, Texas
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Columbus, Ohio
Indianapolis, Indiana
Louisville, Kentucky
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Portland, Oregon
Rochester, New York
St. Paul, Minnesota
Toledo, Ohio
Tucson, Arizona
Democrat-run Chicago is not on the list, although it did see more homicides than it has witnessed in 25 years. The Hill reports Chicago Police numbers showing 797 homicides in Chicago in 2021. The Chicago Sun-Times reported 836 homicides in Chicago for 2021, based on Cook County medical examiner’s numbers.

If only everyone drove an EV there would have been no running out of gas and the snowstorm would not have happened due to man made global warming. The science has spoken.

Former US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he was canceling a news conference scheduled for Jan. 6, which would have taken place on the one-year anniversary of when his supporters rioted and stormed the US Capitol.

The most glaring and vulnerable part of Trump's personal "attack surface" is his inability to use strategic silence. He is either learning or getting better advice these days.

[NY Post] She's a peach
Yet another Kamala Harris aide has joined the exodus of staffers leaving the vice president’s office amid claims of turmoil and dysfunction.
Vincent Evans, the veep’s deputy director of public engagement and intergovernmental affairs, has quit to take on a role on Capitol Hill, CNBC reported Wednesday.
Evans is departing the VP’s office to join the Congressional Black Caucus, which is chaired by Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) and advocates for minorities.
He is the latest Harris staffer to resign amid claims of tension in her office — including one blistering report last month that described her as a "bully" who dishes out "soul-destroying criticism."
But despite those reports, a source close to Evans told CNBC he was still on good terms with Harris and claimed the resignation wasn’t linked to previous departures.
"I am deeply honored to be named the executive director of the Congressional Black Caucus," Evans said in a statement to the network. "I started my career in Washington working for a member of the CBC, so I know firsthand the tremendous leadership and impact this caucus has in Congress and across the country."

Another rat deserts the sinking ship...
[NPR] - A growing number of House lawmakers are deciding to retire or run for a different political office next November. But there are far more Democrats from competitive districts ending their service than Republicans.
Democrats hold a slim majority in the House, and most political handicappers forecast they are on track to lose control of the chamber in the 2022 midterms.
The number of Democratic departures exceeds the tally of those who stepped down or ran for another office in the 2010 cycle, when the GOP picked up 63 seats in that wave election.
Historical trends show the party in power in the White House loses seats in Congress in midterm elections, and President Biden's sagging approval ratings have raised alarm bells for his party. Also, the ongoing redistricting process will change congressional maps next fall. Republicans, who only need to flip five seats to gain control of the House, have an edge in that process.

[Just the News] Georgia authorities have launched an investigation into an allegation of systematic ballot harvesting during the state's 2020 general election and subsequent U.S. Senate runoff and may soon issue subpoenas to secure evidence, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed to Just the News.
Georgia law strictly prohibits third-party activists from picking up and delivering ballots on behalf of voters, a tactic called "harvesting" that liberal organizers have tried to get legalized in many battleground states without success. The U.S. Supreme Court this summer rejected Democrat efforts to overturn an Arizona law that outlawed harvesting in the battleground state.
Raffensperger, who is seeking reelection in 2022, led a successful effort in 2019 to strengthen Georgia's prohibition against harvesting ahead of the 2020 presidential election, and defeated an effort by prominent Democrat lawyer Marc Elias to overturn the harvesting ban. Raffensperger also reviewed and rejected claims by former President Donald Trump of widespread fraud during the 2020 election in a series of contacts under investigation by a local district attorney in Atlanta and the Jan. 6 select committee in Congress.
According to interviews and documents reviewed by Just the News, Raffensperger's office received a detailed complaint from conservative voter integrity group True the Vote on Nov. 30
...that was over a month ago...
saying it had assembled evidence that scores of activists worked with nonprofit groups to collect and deliver thousands of absentee ballots, often during wee-hour operations, to temporary voting drop boxes distributed around the state during the pandemic.
The group informed the secretary its evidence included video footage from surveillance cameras placed by counties outside the drop boxes as well as geolocation data for the cell phones of more than 200 activists seen on the tapes purportedly showing the dates and times of ballot drop-offs, according to documents reviewed by Just the News.
The group also said it interviewed a Georgia man who admitted he was paid thousands of dollars to harvest ballots in the Atlanta metropolitan area during the November election and the lead-up to Jan. 5, 2021 runoff for Georgia's two U.S. Senate seats, which were both captured by Democrats and ended GOP control of Congress. The group has yet to identify the cooperating witness to state authorities, referring to him in the complaint simply as John Doe.
The group does not allege the ballots delivered by couriers were fraudulent. Nonetheless, lawful ballots delivered by third-parties to drop boxes would run afoul of Georgia's law.
Raffensperger confirmed in an interview aired Tuesday on the John Solomon Reports podcast that his office has deemed the allegations credible enough to open an investigation and possibly seek subpoenas from the State Election Board to secure evidence.

"Harvesting" is just one of the many tricks taught to tens of 000s of swing-state operatives paid for by Zuckerberg's $440 million "electoral integrity initiative" in the months just before Election Day.
"Curing" is another favored trick. Each of these amounts to doctoring the ballots and rigging the outcome -- as the Left freely admits they did.
