[Breitbart] Violent knife and sex offenders can increasingly escape prosecution if they show contrition and say sorry, a report Wednesday claims.
According to the Daily Telegraph, more than 147,000 people accused of offences including sex crimes, violence and weapons possession across the UK were given community resolutions in the year to March instead of being prosecuted.
Such resolutions do not result in a criminal record. The outlet set out the terms applied to each case of forgiveness against a background of jail overcrowding:
Police guidance says community resolutions should be restricted to low-level crimes, with offenders required to apologise to the victim, accept “responsibility” for their crime and offer some form of recompense.
But the resolutions, which are issued at the discretion of individual officers, have increased by 40 per cent since 2019 – when 102,574 were recorded – and are now nearly twice as likely as a criminal charge, according to an analysis of Ministry of Justice data.
The surge comes amid a deepening crisis in the criminal justice system. Prisons are so full that the Government is releasing thousands of criminals early next month in the wake of the riots, while police have raised concerns that any worsening of jail overcrowding could limit their ability to make arrests.
Jess Phillips, the Home Office minister responsible for safeguarding, has ordered a review of the police response to “non-contact” sexual offences.
This issue was reportedly raised by the inquiry into the rape and murder of Sarah Everard by Pc Wayne Couzens, who had a history of exposing himself to women.
Since 2019, community resolutions given for robbery have increased by 127 percent, from 175 to 397. Those issued for sex offences have risen by 29 percent, from 482 to 621.
Resolutions for offences involving violence against a person have risen by 57 percent, from 29,188 to 45,845, while those for possession of weapons are up 77 percent, from 1,590 to 2,821.
The surge in community resolutions comes as knife crime approaches record levels and orders given to clear prison space amid the sentencing of anti-migration rioters, protesters, and social media posters that will reportedly see at least 5,500 criminals released early by the autumn, as Breitbart News reported.
The left-wing Labour Party government of Prime Minister Keir Starmer has vowed to halve convictions within a decade.

[Breitbart] Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador announced that his country was pausing relations with the U.S. and Canadian embassies in Mexico following letters and statements. The president says diplomatic officials from both countries had spoken out against his proposed judicial reform, which calls for yearly open elections for all federal judges.
“They have to learn to respect Mexico’s sovereignty,” Lopez Obrador said during his morning news conference. The Mexican politician said that he was not kicking them out of the country but simply pausing the relationship until they learned not to interfere with Mexico’s government.
The move comes just days after U.S. Ambassador Ken Salazar and Canadian Ambassador Graeme Clark claimed that an independent judicial body was an important part of a Democracy and that having elected judges also opened the door to corruption and cartel influence. As Breitbart Texas reported, in his letter, Salazar pointed out that before being a diplomat, he had been in law practice for more than 25 years and, as a politician and diplomat, had seen how important an independent judiciary was.
Which does explain why he is so determined to do away with it..
The issue at hand is a judicial reform pushed by AMLO and his party that would have yearly elections for federal judges and implement several other measures that scholars claim would tie the hands of an independent judicial body. Political opponents claim that judicial reform is a step by Lopez Obrador and his party to take full control of the three bodies of government. The move has been met with harsh resistance from most sitting judges who have gone on strike. However, Lopez Obrador’s MORENA party has been pushing forward with the measure.
[FoxNews] House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is issuing a subpoena for information on the political work conducted by the daughter of New York State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan.
Jordan sent a letter to Michael Nellis, the founder and CEO of Authentic Campaigns — a company that's done political work for top Democratic clients like President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris — accusing him of failing to comply with House investigators' demands for any and all documents related to the prosecution of former President Trump.
The committee wrote to Loren Merchan, the company's president and Judge Merchan's daughter, earlier this month requesting documents in its probe into Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case against Trump.
Jordan pointed out in his Wednesday letter that Nellis himself rejected that request as well as a subsequent one later in the month.
"As such, the Committee is left with no choice but to resort to compulsory process," Jordan wrote. "Popularly elected prosecutors, such as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, have engaged in an unprecedented abuse of authority by prosecuting a former President of the United States and current nominee for that office. Of relevance to the Committee’s oversight is the impartiality of Judge Juan Merchan, the presiding trial judge, due to his refusal to recuse himself from the case in light of his apparent conflicts of interest and biases.
"One such conflict is Ms. Merchan’s — daughter of Judge Merchan and President of Authentic Campaigns — work on behalf of President Trump’s political adversaries and the possible financial benefit that Ms. Merchan and Authentic Campaigns received from the prosecution and conviction of President Trump."
Jordan said public reports indicated to him that both Nellis and Loren Merchan were "closely involved in the presidential campaigns of both President Biden and Vice President Harris."
"During Ms. Merchan’s employment with the Harris campaign, Authentic Campaigns received over $7 million in compensation for its services. You also worked for then-presidential candidate Harris and it appears you continue to do so. Authentic Campaigns conducted work for the 2020 Biden-Harris campaign and, according to public records, was paid just over $2 million in a one-month period for its work," he wrote.
The subpoena is narrower in scope than Jordan's previous request for information. His Aug. 1 letter demanded Loren Merchan hand over documents related to any work for Biden and Harris, in addition to any work that refers to Trump's prosecution or indictment.
Jordan is giving Nellis until Sept. 13 to comply, according to the subpoena viewed by Fox News Digital.
Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in relation to claims he paid an adult film actress to keep quiet about their affair — which the ex-president has denied. His lawyers are appealing that ruling in light of the Supreme Court's July decision fleshing out presidential immunity.
His sentencing hearing is currently scheduled for Sept. 18.
Its clear the DC Swamp and other Elites are scared to hell that with Trump in office, he'll flush the 5th Column out of US Agencies.
Imagine the Public TV hearings and trials for: Treason, Subversive illegal acts, tax avoidance, Perjury, censorship, civil rights violations, false imprisonment, gross abuse of office, mass murder, Hiding VAX effects, illegal spending of Taxpayer $$$$, Voter Fraud, corporate kick-backs for favortism, 10 million OPEN BORDERS Felony violations?
[Breitbart] A federal judge is blocking, in 17 states, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s administration from imposing a new rule that gives collective bargaining rights to foreign farm workers while American farm workers are excluded.
“The Biden-Harris administration has taken an America Last position,” Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach (R), who is leading the multi-state lawsuit against the rule, said in a statement:
In this case, they were trying to give alien ag workers rights that Americans do not have. That’s why Kansas took the lead in filing this lawsuit. The rule of law has prevailed. [Emphasis added]
In September 2023, the Labor Department announced a federal rule that would dramatically change the H-2A visa program, which allows United States farms to import foreign workers to take American agricultural jobs.
As part of the rule, finalized in April 2024, foreign H-2A visa workers would get collective bargaining rights not afforded to American farm workers.
In June, Kobach brought a lawsuit — joined by 16 other state attorneys general — asking a federal judge in Georgia to block the Biden-Harris administration from imposing the rule. On Monday, U.S. District Judge Lisa Godbey Wood granted a preliminary injunction to prevent the rule from taking effect in the 17 states that sued the administration.
“The issue before the Court is whether the Final Rule creates a right not previously bestowed by Congress. The Court finds it does so,” Wood writes:
Regardless of the terminology used in the Final Rule … the Final Rule provides for agricultural workers’ right to participate in concerted activity to further their interests. That is a right that Congress has not created by statute. And Defendants have not provided any source indicating that Congress intended to create such a right. [Emphasis added]
…
Based on the findings of fact and conclusions of law stated herein, the Court GRANTS Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS that Defendants are ENJOINED, during the pendency of this action or until further Order of the Court, from enforcing the Final Rule, Improving Protections for Workers in Temporary Agricultural Employment in the United States within Georgia, Kansas, South Carolina, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia, and against Miles Berry Farm and Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association. [Emphasis added]
As Breitbart News has chronicled for years, the H-2A visa program is often used to replace Americans and preserve the low cost of agricultural labor.
In 1997, more than 16,000 foreign H-2A visa workers were imported to take American agriculture jobs. The latest data from Fiscal Year 2022 shows that U.S. farms imported nearly 300,000 foreign H-2A visa workers to fill American jobs.
The lawsuit is Kansas v. U.S. Department of Labor, No. 2:24-cv-00076 for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia.

The rank and file know, NN2N1. In 2020 even more than 2016 they voted for Donald Trump. It’s just the union leadership, using money from union dues and foot soldiers from union membership, that is still mostly all in on Democrat control of the levers of government.

Unpossible! Everyone knows that the Democrats are the Party of the Working Man, the little guy. It is the Republicans who are the Evil Party of Big Business. At least that is what Woody Guthrie taught us.
[NewsBusters] The “mainstream” media messaging machine spent the whole Democrat convention channeling the notion of “reintroducing” Kamala Harris to America, relying on the assumption that vice presidents are only seen and not heard.
For all of the journalists who suddenly want to channel the same aspirational biracial narrative that marked Barack Obama’s march to the White House, we must note that these autobiographies can be heavily shaped and edited, which is why the word “reintroduction” should land like a brick. Obama’s “autobiography” was riddled with fictional elements, even composite girlfriends.
On the front page of The New York Times on August 26 is a story explaining that the Harris campaign has an allergy to noting their candidate was born in the radical tumult of Berkeley in the 1960s. Instead, a convention video listed her childhood home as located in “East Bay.” It can’t be “The People’s Republic of Berkeley” in anyone’s reintroduction to moderate voters.
Reporters Heather Knight and Alexandra Berzon acknowledged Kamala’s mother Shyamala was “steeped in the social activism vibrant in both Berkeley and Oakland.” They told readers that the word “Berkeley” went missing early in her career, when Harris ran for Attorney General of California in 2008.
But in other places, it’s more explicit. On their podcast The Daily -- broadcast across the country on taxpayer-subsidized National Public Radio -- Times reporter Astead Herndon underlined that activism was prominent in her upbringing.
“This is someone who is growing up really around not only just a Black community, but a very prideful, rich history of Blackness…The Black Panthers’ headquarters was blocks from her house.” Her parents made “a very intentional effort to place their children in Black affirmation spaces,” teaching black history in a radical activist way.
The “reintroduction” shapers also left out Kamala’s teenage years in Canada. From 1976 to 1982 (from roughly 12 to 18), she lived in Montreal, where her mother worked at McGill University. The Times noted Montreal “fared even worse than Berkeley” at the convention. “The city’s name was completely excised from Ms. Harris’s re-telling of her childhood.”
Kamala Story 300x250
With Obama and Harris, their narrative of negotiating the world as a biracial American is incredibly fluid, depending on which voting bloc you’re targeting.
In his podcast interview, Herndon talked up Harris as a prosecutor, and how it explains “the story of somebody who believes you can be multiple things at the same time. You can be an empathetic progressive, but also believe in punishment and in accountability.” That’s not at all what San Francisco prosecutors are known for, but it’s an election year, so it’s time to fudge.
Herndon and the rest of the pro-Democrat press just want to defeat Donald Trump, and they would prefer that Harris be very difficult to pigeonhole as a leftist. He says “she is a vessel that you can see what you want to see in. If you want to see a progressive, there’s enough there you probably can. If you want to see a moderate, you probably can see that, too. And so what I think is one of the stories here is an ideological fluidity that was once seen as a problem is now being seen as a solution.”
Confusion is a solution. They're not hiding their advocacy at all.
Herndon admits that all that intentional blurring makes it difficult to know how Harris would govern as president, but for the Democrats inside and outside the press, this is not the time to care. That’s a problem (and a project) for 2025.
Anyone else have the feeling that the sudden and all at the same time public rejection of DIE practices by these big name and nominally advertised leaning conservative is part of a larger campaign ploy to reduce peoples' urgency to get out the vote against whatever the fuck this is?

That's the thing - the people who put them on board are still there.
Like this Season 2 of Rings of Power. The promotional skits all address the criticisms of the first season...but its all the same people, so why should things be different? Especially if HR/Hiring is already assimilated.
It feels like they are trying to take the piss out of critics.
[FoxNews] VP Harris mocked for being 'too scared' to do interview without Walz: 'She simply cannot be left unattended': Harris will do a joint interview with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on CNN Thursday
The announcement that Vice President Kamala Harris’ first formal sit-down interview as a 2024 presidential candidate would be done with her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, by her side was met with mockery online.
CNN revealed Tuesday Dana Bash would be taping a joint interview with Harris and Walz as they campaign in Georgia on Thursday to be broadcast that night.
It will mark the first time Harris has given a formal interview to the press since President Biden stepped out of the race and she became the nominee 38 days ago.
However, the news that Harris’ first interview would be alongside Walz, and with a sympathetic host and network, was seen as an admission that the vice president infamous for her word salads is "incapable" of doing an extended media appearance on her own.

IF not for the Star Tribune's cheerleading for him (Minneapolis and St Paul contain far more voters than the rest of the State combined), this repulsive liar would not have been re-elected in 2022.

Walz serves as Kamala's minder/spokesdroid. He can explain anything complicated and elbow her in the ribs when she starts cackling.

I like how Bernie! calls Kamala "stable".
So there's your story themes for the next cycle.
Harris the Stable with Gentle Timmy. Place your bets for the CNN Propaganda Hour: Timmy yuks it up and turns ruddy being an energetic clown which Kamala reigns in the man with her mere expression of control.
[Breitbart] Vice President Kamala Harris Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's' former mistress ’s presidential campaign now claims she "does not support" Electric Vehicle (EV) mandates after years of supporting such mandates as a Senator and in her role in President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body.... ’s administration.
According to The Spectator’s Amber Duke, Harris’s campaign sent an email to supporters on Tuesday claiming "Vice President Harris does not support an electric vehicle mandate."
The statement comes after years of Harris campaigning, championing, and supporting EV mandates that require automakers to produce and sell a certain percentage of EVs to American consumers.

Harris did the 'modification of positions' routine a lot during her 2019 run for the 2020 D presidential nomination. She would adopt Bernie or Warren's positions then subsequently give a modification.
It didn't work then.

Say what you will about Obama being cut out of cloth, here it is in real time.
Its that one dude at the party who talks really loud right in the middle of traffic and just says off the wall hot topic shit with no effort to even try to keep his story straight.
She will have been a lifelong l@hrsbian by the end of September.

As goes Aurora, eventually goes Denver, being a bit of a spillover from the downtown and sports complex neighborhoods. Everyone who could has moved north of the metroplex.
It does occupy a key section of transportation in/out/around Denver. How this gets handled, or not handled, will set a tone nationwide.
But don't worry children. They'll put a slide opening on your front door, and they'll bring you food and drugs, and your mail which doesn't contain money or ransom or mail in ballet, and you can just stay in your apartment forever. Oh you need new clothes? Well Emiliano there has needs too.

Circa 1993 I would visit Aurora and the other parts of the larger Denver metro--I always enjoyed myself. I can't imagine what it probably looks and feels like today.
