Do You Hear Their Screams?
[Breitbart Texas] Protesters greeted Vice President Kamala Harris during her visit to the border in El Paso with signs asking, "Do you hear their screams?" The signs reference the inhuman conditions in Biden-Harris unaccompanied migrant children detention centers.

In reference to the vice president's previous comments that she hadn't "been to Europe either" during an NBC's Lester Holt. "You made a wrong turn," the protester's sign reads. "This isn't Europe."

While Vice President Harris visited the border in El Paso, newly appointed Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz spoke with concerned residents in the Del Rio Sector where agents report a 457 percent increase in border apprehensions, Breitbart reported.

The chief listened to concerns expressed by the residents of Del Rio, Texas ‐ concerns that are very similar to those expressed by the Rio Grande Valley residents.

"I'm not worried about the family units that give up; I am concerned with mostly groups of males that are screaming in Spanish at me in my back yard," one Del Rio resident told Ortiz. "I have daughters and I am worried for their safety."
I saw a T-shirt in Durango, CO that said -

Yes, I have a lovely daughter.

I also have a pistol

a shovel

and an alibi.

That becomes a bit problematic when there are enough bodies to merit a mass grave.

Dem Rep. Green: CRT 'Just About Telling the Truth' and History 'That We Don't Teach in our Schools'
[BREITBART] On Friday’s broadcast of C-SPAN’s "Washington Journal," Rep. Al Green (D-TX) said that Critical Race Theory

...teaches that skin color is the most important characteristic of any person, which translates to separate but equal with a different bunch in charge. All whites are born racist and racism permeates every aspect of society, which should be dismantled and the remains turned over to the kind of dipshit who pushes this nonsense...
"is just about telling the truth about how there is still systemic racism in this country today and that we have to deal with it and how it impacts the lives of people."

Green stated, "Critical Race is about the side of history that we’ve not made known to the public, that we don’t teach in our schools. Slaves were not happy people. We should not in any way glamorize slavery. We shouldn’t sanitize it. We have to tell the truth about what happened in 1619 and thereafter. That’s what it’s all about. It’s the rest of the story and it’s all about history. And history can be very unpleasant. I don’t enjoy knowing that some of my ancestors in Africa sold people into slavery, but they did it. And they will live in infamy for it. But it’s the truth. So, the truth can set you free, but it can only set you free if you allow it to. You have to be willing to accept the truth, and Critical Race is just about telling the truth about how there is still systemic racism in this country today and that we have to deal with it and how it impacts the lives of people."

#1  The tell truth - that your party was the party of slavery, segregation and the Klan. It's your party's fault not America's. That your party promoted the destruction of the black family through programs and policies. The family unit that has worked in all significant societies for over 4000 years. That the time to blame everyone and everything else for the failure in 'your' community will not end till you take responsibility for your own choices and behaviors.

#5  Critical Race "Theory"

Theory means 'supposition' or 'idea'. The definition of the word 'Theory' does not contain the word 'fact'.

Who Killed Ashli Babbitt?
[THE-PIPELINE.ORG] "Jack Dunphy" always a good read
On November 19, 2019, Nathaniel Pinnock was shot and killed by officers of the Los Angeles Police Department. Pinnock, 22, had robbed an auto parts store in Hollywood while armed with a machete and was walking from the scene when officers arrived and confronted him. Despite the presence of several officers, Pinnock refused orders to stop and drop the machete. Instead he ran to the drive-through lane of a nearby Chick-fil-A restaurant where he carjacked a Lexus and sped off. He made it only as far as the adjacent street where, after colliding with police cars, he got out and ran down Sunset Boulevard.

Officers pursued on foot, and after running some distance Pinnock turned and charged at one of them while wielding the machete. The officer retreated and fired his pistol at Pinnock, who despite being shot continued charging. The officer ran into the street where he stumbled and fell, and when it appeared Pinnock was about to deliver what surely would have been a devastating blow with the machete, the officer again fired his pistol. A second officer also fired. Pinnock fell to the ground mortally maimed.

That Pinnock’s death did not become a national news story is owing to the fact that the shooting was so manifestly justified, as can be determined even from the cursory presentation of facts above. But such is the transparency now attendant to officer-involved shootings in Los Angeles that anyone questioning the propriety of the officers’ actions can find the LAPD’s video summary of the incident and the involved officers’ body camera footage here, the civilian police commission’s 37-page report here, and the Los Angeles County district attorney’s 12-page legal assessment here. All officer-involved shootings in the city of Los Angeles are similarly investigated and documented, and while one may argue with the conclusions reached by the police commission or district attorney in any given case, no one can claim the relevant facts have been concealed.

This level of transparency regarding the use of deadly force by police has come to be expected and is now common (though not yet ubiquitous) across the country, which makes it all the more curious that what rightly should be regarded as one of the most controversial police shootings to have occurred recently has gone all but unexamined in the press. The case of Ashli Babbitt, the Air Force veteran who was shot and killed by a U.S Capitol Police officer during the so-called insurrection of Jan. 6, has gone largely unexamined, either in the media or among the self-professed experts who find fault in even the most clearly justifiable police shootings.

Ashli Babbitt’s shooting was not clearly justifiable, far from it in fact, yet the U.S. Department of Justice, in a memo just over a page in length, explains it away by saying their "investigation revealed no evidence to establish that, at the time the officer fired a single shot at Ms. Babbitt, the officer did not reasonably believe that it was necessary to do so in self-defense or in defense of the Members of Congress and others evacuating the House Chamber."

And that, peasants, is that. Your rulers have made their decision, do not dare question it.

#1  It's easy for us to sneer and smirk and snark, but this is deadly serious. It's more than another Big Lie. The Democrats truly are using this ridiculous trespass incident as a pretext for shutting down any and all debate, dissent, opposition to their bullshit.

This has to be resisted. Our Republic is on the line.

#10  The Washington Post published video of the last two minutes leading up to the shooting, taken from near the front rows of the crowd. The policeman, quickly put on leave during the investigation, according to the January 8, 2021 article, was a substantial Black gentleman in a dark suit with simple gold cufflinks in his French cuffs shooting from inside the House lobby out toward the protesting crowd — cufflinks surely not being a common detail for that kind of duty.

Rantburg was down at that point, much to my distress.

DC police later said the officer, who has not been named, was a plainclothes Capitol police officer.

Elsewhere he is described as a Capitol Police lieutenant.

Chicago's Lake Shore Drive renamed for Jean Baptiste Point DuSable
[NEWS.YAHOO] Jean Baptiste Point DuSable Lake Shore Drive it is. Or rather, will soon be.

Two years after a South Side alderman introduced an ordinance to rebrand the landmark reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
Lake Shore Drive to honor DuSable because he was upset he didn’t hear the Black founder of Chicago mentioned during a river boat tour, the City Council on Friday ended months of racially charged debate by adopting a compromise to make it so.

The vote was 33-15, with "no" votes coming from 12 white and three Latino aldermen.

The ordinance calls for the renaming to happen immediately, but a city front man did not respond to questions about how long it would take to change the signs.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot
...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway. A racist to the bone, Lori sez that people with the same skin tone all think alike, not quite getting the implications for a city with a population less than thirty percent black...
opposed Alderman David Moore’s initial plan to rebrand the iconic lakefront ribbon of concrete "DuSable Drive" on the grounds it would make the city tougher to market. But she got behind the late "DuSable Lake Shore Drive" deal rather than risk taking a total loss in the 50-member council.

Moore and other DuSable backers agreed to the compromise instead of trying to hold together a majority in the face of pushback from the mayor and opponents on the council, or risking Lightfoot using her first veto to further impede them.

Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, 35th, said the lack of proper honor for Black leaders has a harmful impact on Black children. Naming the road for him "is a small but important step to addressing racial injustice," Ramirez-Rosa said.

The protracted street rebranding fight came as Chicago faces many pressing problems, from rising violent mostly peaceful crime to crushing financial shortfalls coming out of the pandemic.

But in a city where symbolic representation has long been a measure of political strength, Moore and supporters of the change saw winning as a point of pride for Black Chicagoans and others who think DuSable hasn’t gotten his due. Capitulating to opponents would have been another indignity in what they see as long-running underappreciation of African Americans’ contributions.

#9  Point du Sable left Chicago in 1800. He sold his property ... and moved to the Missouri River valley

From Potawatomi dream ground
to Capone's whore-stable,
for years equality's petridish
and hellhole unstable.
Maybe he knew, which way it blew
even as early as 1802.
"Fok dis shit!" He said,
left for Missouri, that DuSable.

Biden Backtracks on Infrastructure Plan/Reconcilliation
[CNBC] I am capable of copying and pasting parts of many articles, but not at the CNBC site. Apparently, Joe didn't mean what he said.
Does your browser provide the option for a reader view? I find that makes copying much easier. In the meantime, here are what CNBC thinks are the key points:
  • President Joe Biden on Saturday said he doesn’t plan to veto the bipartisan infrastructure bill if it comes without a reconciliation package.

  • The president’s statement walks back a declaration last week that he would refuse to sign the bipartisan legislation unless the two bills came in tandem.

  • “That statement understandably upset some Republicans, who do not see the two plans as linked,” the president said in a statement.

#1  refusing to sign and vetoing are actually different

by saying 'no veto' it DOES NOT mean he would sign this infrastructure bill

also, the infrastructure bill has not be written, it is just an outline at this point - I suspect there will be pages and pages and pages of pork barrel stuff in it

#2  We should start a pool of how many pages it is. I'm betting over 4,000 pages and they will have only 2 hours to read and comprehend it.

Report: Emails Show Biden Campaign Demanding Facebook Censor Posts on Election Integrity
[Breitbart] A number of emails seen by CNN ‐ which uses them to make the case that the platform isn't censoring enough ‐ show that the Biden campaign repeatedly pressured Facebook to censor posts from the Trump campaign and its supporters about election integrity.

CNN's own reporting confirms that Facebook changed its policies following the email exchange with Biden officials, yet goes on to quote Democrat activists who complain that the platform is still not censoring enough conservative content.

One post that the Biden campaign tried to have censored during the 2020 election was a video from Donald Trump Jr. in September 2020 calling for supporters to monitor early voting and counting boards.

Biden campaign officials tried to characterize the video as a call for violence, because Don Jr used the term "army" to refer to the volunteer effort, claims that were rebuffed by Facebook.

#5  pancho,

Campaign finance law is complicated but I doubt that simply making an illegal in-kind campaign contribution is a felony. Felonies might be created by lying under oath about it, obstructing an investigation, etc. Also, there is the issue of how the funds were accounted in the corporation. Campaign contributions are not an allowable business expense.

Kamala Harris's motorcade rolls into her LA neighborhood hours after photoshoot at the border
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Harris' overnight stay at her Brentwood home came a few hours after her trip to El Paso, Texas 93 days after being appointed the 'immigration czar'

  • Her Los Angeles visit is her fourth in the 94 days since taking office, compared to her lone visit to the border

  • Harris' trip comes a few days before a visit to the border by former President Donald Trump, but her office denied that Trump played a part in scheduling.
    Really it didn't.

Trump-appointed judges obstruct Biden 'pen and phone' policies just months into term

's policies on multiple fronts in the early months of the new administration, taking what experts say is a less "deferential" approach to executive power as judges appointed by past presidents.

"What you’re seeing is that ’pen and phone’ initiatives are running into legal trouble right off the bat," Ilya Shapiro, the vice president and director of the libertarian Cato Institute's Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies, told Fox News. "Trump appointed a lot of judges — more than anyone in one term than Jimmy Malaise Carter
