[Breitbart] Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) noted on Friday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow that the FBI is not tracking violent acts committed by persons affiliated with Antifa or Black Lives Matter, as the Bureau does not classify either leftist group as “domestic terrorist” organization.
During a House Oversight Hearing on counterterrorism on September 29, Mace asked Timothy Langan, assistant director of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division about the Bureau’s approach to criminality associated with Antifa and Black Lives Matter. Langan said the FBI does not classify Antifa or Black Lives Matter as “domestic terrorist” organizations due to the Bureau’s labeling of the two groups as “movements.” He also said the FBI does not identify either leftist group as “anti-government” or “anti-authority” organizations.

Now, now: That's not violence violence. Silence is violence. Hate speech is violence.
Peasants speaking up at school board meetings is terrorism.
Buffalo shamans and deplorables putting their muddy boots on Pelosi's desk are bloodthirsty insurrectionists.

The Tsarist police, the Okhrana, were worthless when the Marxist revolutionaries emerged from their hiding places. Likewise, the FBI is worthless when the Antifa and Black Lives Matter revolutionaries emerge from theirs.
#6
Republicans and Trump sat back and watched for fear of losing the election with an appropriate response to Antifa and BLM violence. Ended up losing anyways. Lesson learned is do to the right thing even if it means possibly losing.

#6 you are correct! and point out the flaw of the overinflated sense of importance that comes with too much Pride. not pointing fingers or anything...
[Breitbart] Thirteen members of President Joe Biden’s cabinet are heading to Glasgow, Scotland, for the United Nation’s climate summit later this month, while the nation remains in the midst of a migrant crisis at the southern border and a supply chain crisis at U.S. ports. The climate summit attendees will include Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg who has been on parental leave for weeks after adopting two infants.
The other attendees include Secretary of State Tony Blinken, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, EPA Administrator Michael Regan, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, USAID Administrator Samantha Power, NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Eric Lander, National Economic Council Director Brian Reese, and Biden’s climate advisors Gina McCarthy and John Kerry.
The more time they spend in conferences, the less time they have for making up and enforcing new rules that will damage the America the rest of us live in.

This is the "climate summit" where they've had to bring in a dozen diesel generators to power the charging stations for the Teslas that they're using.
Another farce for the TV cameras.

I've heard Biden speak at several conferences. On at least two occasions he said he not only believed in the 'all politics is local' theory of the late Tip O'Neill but also 'all foreign policy is personal' which he wanted to call the Biden rule.
Of course both theories have a little bit of truth but are mostly non sense and the Biden one is more nonsensical than the O'Neill one. Biden cited his 'productive meetings' with various leaders to emphasize his point. I wish I could have asked him about his comment back in 2010 that he had spoken to 'literally every leader in Iraq' and determined that ISIS wasn't a threat.

And I thought he spent more time consulting with the current President Obama.
[Breitbart] The domestic crises continue in U.S. ports and on the southern border but President Joe Biden and his administration are focused on so-called climate change, including releasing a a 40-page report on Friday on how the issue threatens the U.S. economy.
The report connects weather to endangering finances, insurance, housing, and savings for American families.
The summary of the report states:
Climate change poses serious and systemic risks to the U.S. economy and financial system. As outlined in this report, the United States government is using all of its tools to properly account for and mitigate climate change-related financial and economic risks, as climate impacts are already affecting American jobs, homes, families’ hard-earned savings, and businesses.
The country must work with urgency to reduce the risks of climate change by addressing its drivers and creating a stronger, more resilient economy. This report lays out a roadmap for measuring, disclosing, managing, and mitigating climate-related financial risk across the economy, including to the Federal Government, while also catalyzing public and private investment to seize the opportunity of a net-zero, clean energy future.
This comes following Biden’s May 2021 executive order. Biden said of his order:
The intensifying impacts of climate change present physical risk to assets, publicly traded securities, private investments, and companies…the failure of financial institutions to appropriately and adequately account for and measure these physical and transition risks threatens the competitiveness of U.S. companies and markets, the life savings and pensions of U.S. workers and families, and the ability of U.S. financial institutions to serve communities. … In this effort, the Federal Government should lead by example by appropriately prioritizing Federal investments and conducting prudent fiscal management.
The report speaks about an economic “realignment” and even the supply chain — without mentioning the current crisis:
This realignment will also include a greater exploration of climate-related financial risks related to the agricultural, forest, and land use sector (AFOLU). The Federal Government needs to better understand how AFOLU climate-related financial risk might affect U.S. supply chains and U.S. farmers, ranchers, foresters, and agricultural workers as well as how the Federal Government can play a positive role by promoting climate-smart agricultural and forestry practices, investing in coastal resilience and other land and water projects that mitigate climate impacts, and using financial and other tools to conserve critical carbon sinks.
“If this year has shown us anything, it’s that climate change poses an ongoing urgent and systemic risk to our economy and to the lives and livelihoods of everyday Americans, and we must act now,” Gina McCarthy, the White House national climate adviser, told reporters, according to Time magazine.
Time said the timing of the report is significant because it is designed “to showcase to the world how serious the U.S. government is about tackling climate change ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference running from Oct. 31 to Nov. 12 in Glasgow, Scotland.”
[Just The News] President Joe Biden on Friday said he "likes kids better than people," while visiting an early-learning center in Connecticut.
Biden made the comment after a toddler hugged him, and while a protestor across the street shouted "F--k Joe Biden," the New York Post reported.
"When I talked to all your folks out on the playground, I joked that everybody knows I like kids better than people," Biden said outside the center in Hartford. "Fortunately, they like me. That’s why maybe I like them."
Biden was jeered by protesters throughout his visit to Connecticut. The protesters included both Trump supporters and immigration reform activists, according to reports.
According to numerous pool reporters, Biden was called a slew of names, along with profanity being shouted at him and his motorcade.
Biden's trip to Connecticut comes at a time when his political agenda has so far stalled in Congress.
[DAILYWIRE] Beth Barts, a far-left member of the Loudoun County School Board, has resigned from her position.First elected in 2019, Barts has been criticized by parent groups over 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... and transgender policies in the school system. Her resignation, which will take effect on November 2, 2021, staves off an ongoing recall attempt.
"This was not an easy decision or a decision made in haste. After much thought and careful consideration, it is the right decision for me and my family," said Barts in a statement Friday.

HA, Mr B. Upperville. Wealthy lived in this area. G Gordon Liddy had property with an air strip. Kennedy's had property in this area also. Pastor there raised money to build a church that was financed well but the wealthy didn't want their workers going to that church. Pastor said well if I don't see you Sunday I will understand. If you lived there you were to allow fox hunting. Dogs (with riders all in proper attire) tore thru the properties to hunt. Workers had homes on properties. You traveled thru cattle gating and metal rails in gravel road, it was really very private. When you walked up to the home. Their dog would body block you at the stairs. Owner would have to say let him pass. Different times. Different world.

Utter mediocrity + vaulting ambition. When he was 18, this one wrote a superb award-winning essay praising Bernie Sanders for his refusal to trim or shy away from his political convictions.
Since then Buttigieg has spent his whole adult life scheming how to burnish his resume and advance himself without accomplishing anything meaningful.
"Dwarfish mediocrity," indeed. He embodies our political class's total self-absorption, their constant calculation and complete indifference to the American people.
No public servants -- the phrase sounds ridiculous when applied to these smelly little climbers -- who actually put the American nation first in his thinking would neglect his job to such a degree and permit our country to sink as low as we have on so many fronts.
The Afghan debacle, the border disgrace, the supply chain train wreck, the stagflation facepalm, the COVID follies, the election clownshow, the FBI/DeepState nightmare, the Soros-Zuckerberg sedition and the BigTexh dystopian monster.... All of it on their watch. Unbelievable.
These jokers' record of gross incompetence and self-enrichment takes the prize for Worst Political Class since the days of Fillmore and Buchanan. (Yes, the empty suits whose neglect caused us to drift into a civil war.)

And so whiny too. Mean Jokes, bottles are hard, I have a phone and nobody called, being a gawdammed sissy about the whole cock-up.
[CHICAGO.SUNTIMES] Democrats in the Illinois General Assembly released the proposed new congressional map on Friday, with the lines drawn to yield 14 Democratic and three Republican districts.
The current House delegation is made up of 13 Democrats and five Republicans. Illinois lost a seat because of population shifts reflected in the 2020 census.
The potential three-seat pickup for Democrats in the Illinois remap could determine whether Democrats, led by House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments... , continue to control the House after the 2022 elections.
Pelosi at present holds onto the House with a Democrat margin as slim as three votes.
The Illinois Democrats, who control the state House, Senate and governorship, drew odd-shaped districts — referred to as gerrymandered districts — designed to sweep in Democratic strongholds and shed GOP turf.
It appears that Democrats did not use all the available partisan firepower, said David Wasserman, the remap expert with "The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter." "It’s both uglier and less effective for Democrats than expected," he wrote. That may mean Democrats unwittingly created some potential swing districts rather than safe havens in 2022.
GOP Reps. Adam Kinzinger and Rodney Davis have said they may run for senator or governor if they determine there is no district where they have a chance to win.
Kinzinger, of Channahon, who carved out a national profile with his anti-Trump crusade, is in a district with freshman Democrat Marie Newman of LaGrange. The district has a Democratic edge. Kinzinger’s political problem is that he is a major target of the pro-Trump forces in the GOP and he would face a primary battle he may not survive no matter the district he picked to run in.

[TAKIMAG] The seeds of moderate defeat are always the same. They agree in principle with the goals and philosophy of the radicals, they just lack the guts to do it. In 1920s Russia, the moderates did not want to murder millions to create socialism. Today, the moderates don’t want to commit to trillions in spending to Build Back Better. When your only complaint about the plan to murder society is the price tag, you are not in opposition. You are in the way.
The radicalism in this Build Back Better agenda is not in the price tag or in the groups it promises to reward and punish. What makes this bill so radical is that it does not exist as a written piece of legislation spelling out the spending plan. Instead, it is a framework that authorizes the federal bureaucracy to spend trillions to achieve the goals of this new economic and cultural framework.
In a functioning parliamentary system, annual budgets are debated among the representatives, usually over taxes and spending. For decades now, the American system has been one where the prior budget is the baseline. Additions and subtractions are what get debated in Congress. In other words, budget debates are largely ceremonial, but there is room for tinkering around the edges of the budget for political purposes.
Even though budget debates have been reduced to ceremony, the budgets actually exist, and in theory they can be altered. In this new bill, the thing that passes is more like a set of suggestions, which will be filled out later with other bills passed by Congress and regulations created by the bureaucracy. In other words, the people endlessly yapping about threats to "our democracy" are about to kill the democratic process.
In principle, this is not a bad thing, as democracy is the most ridiculous form of government ever conceived. If taxing, spending, and war are no longer topics of debate, then most people can get back to their lives and forget about politics. After all, if it no longer matters which party wins, then there is no point in voting. Think about how much happier life would be if politics was removed from the public square.
The trouble, as was quickly discovered by the Russians after the revolution, is that putting unbalanced lunatics in charge never ends well. Having that ridiculous sissy Mark Milley in charge of the military, for example, ensures a future disaster. Putting the legions of innumerate simpletons who make up the federal bureaucracy in charge of the economy is probably worse than communism.
The absurdity of empowering the managerial class to take full control of the economy and culture will not stop the Death Eaters from carrying the day. That is the great lesson of Western liberalism. The Death Eaters always win. The NEPmen of the Soviet system learned this the hard way. The so-called moderates of the inner party will soon learn the same lesson, although in less colorful fashion.
The consolation, if there is any, is that it will prove that you cannot defeat radicalism with moderation. The only antidote to the egalitarian madness of liberal radicalism is an equally fanatical illiberal radicalism. If the West is ever going to awake from this egalitarian madness called liberal democracy, it will start with Occidental people waking up to the reality of their situation. Only then can we Build Back Better.

Spot on. The budget, bad as it is, is a sideshow compared to the damage wrought by enabling legislation like the law that allowed the internet giants to make trillion-dollar empires by selling personal data and to avoid responsibility for suppressing speech and rigging elections.

Keep in mind, the end-state is to turn all Red States blue. The handouts/freestuff funded by the 'Federal' gummit will not always be funded by the 'Federal' gummit, but must one day (2-4 years hence) be continued by the States.
This means higher taxes and regulations cast upon the people by the States. The "Free Stuff" must be continued or our elected thieves lose their positions of power whether they be dem or pub.
The migration to the Red States must end. All must be Blue. The arrival of illegals will assist this effort. They will need much free stuff.

There's no reason to hope our country isn't lost already. Whoever said it first was right. When people figure out they can vote themselves largesse from the national treasury why would they labor needlessly to earn it the old fashioned way?
[FoxNews] NYC Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a bill last week decriminalizing the possession or sale of heroin needles.
The measure, effective Oct. 7, originated in New York City, sponsored by state Sen. Gustavo Rivera, D-Bronx, and was signed into law by Gov. Hochul last week in Manhattan.
"This is outrageous," railed real estate executive William Abramson, who represents residential and commercial clients around the city, many of whom have complained to him about addicts found whacked out in their stoops and doorways.
"Once again, quality of life in New York City continues to deteriorate because of laws that do not consider the residents and businesses of the city. We all agree that something needs to be done to help addicts. But letting them shoot up on the streets does not help anyone. This is bad for everyone."
Drug deaths across the city are skyrocketing. The Centers for Disease Control reports 2,243 people died from drug overdoses in New York City for the 12-month period that ended March 31 — a staggering 36 percent increase in overdose deaths from the year before.
The NYPD decree also tells cops that "it is no longer a violation of law for an individual to possess a hypodermic needle, even when it did not come from a pharmacy or a needle exchange program."
In other words: junkies are free to score needles on the black market, or to share them with other addicts, a risky behavior which creates added dangers for both the user and the wider community.
[NYPOST] Oct. 7, 2021, will go down in history as the day that New York surrendered in the war on drugs. Not a shot was fired, except for the heroin or meth shot into the vein of a drug addict on the streets of Midtown, the South Bronx or Harlem.Gov. Hochul last week signed into law a bill pushed by state Sen. Gustavo Rivera (D-Bronx) and backed overwhelmingly by the city’s Democratic delegation to the Legislature. It decriminalizes the possession or sale of hypodermic needles and syringes by addicts to inject drugs.
Touted as a move to reduce overdose deaths, it will instead be the death of downtowns and residential neighborhoods across the Empire State.
One result: NYPD cops are now under orders to let addicts freely shoot drugs and share needles. The Post had already reported recently on how junkies have overrun parks and other public spaces from Washington Square through Midtown to The Bronx. Hochul & Co. just guaranteed that it’ll grow worse.
"Having drug addicts, a frightful condition, freely injecting drugs and passing out in public is not tenable," warns Barbara Blair of the Garment District Alliance of the "preposterous" new law, explaining rightly that addicts and the mentally ill should be "placed in high-quality settings, institutional settings, if necessary, where they get the shelter, food and care."
IV use of illegal substances is inherently unhealthy and dangerous. Addicts who share needles expose themselves and others to HIV, hepatitis and other blood-borne infections.
"It was passed under the guise of compassion, but it’s one of the least compassionate bills I’ve seen come across the Legislature in a long time. There is nothing compassionate about telling people to keep doing something that is going to kill them," state Sen. Andrew Lanza (R-Staten Island) told The Post. Needle sharing "contravenes any logical and reasonable science based upon public-health standards."
Assaults, break-ins and robberies will soar as new addicts join the growing army of drugged zombies inhabiting once-vibrant city streets. City overdose deaths already spiked 36 percent for the year ending March 31; this law will send them higher, not lower as backers imagine.
