Another Gov. Mike Dewine Cover Up
[WCPO] More than 8,000 people have died of COVID-19 in long-term care facilities in Ohio since the pandemic began.

But where they died is still a secret in the state of Ohio.

After fighting the Ohio Department of Health for more than a year in court, WCPO and several others are now taking their cases to the 10th District Court of Appeals in Columbus.

"They’re just asking for the reliable, true statistics of the pandemic and the deaths that it has caused, or hasn’t caused. It’s that simple," said Cincinnati attorney Matt Miller-Novak.

Border Chief Alejandro Mayorkas: Our Priority Is Justice, Not Border Security
[Breitbart] Americans should not have a secure border until they also provide justice for migrants, according to Alejandro Mayorkas, the pro-migration secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

Mayorkas made the claim after being asked Tuesday by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR): "What should be a higher priority of the United States Government? Securing our border or giving amnesty to illegal aliens who are already here?"

"Justice is our priority," Mayorkas declared at a Senate hearing, adding "That includes securing our border and providing relief to those [migrants] who qualify for it under our laws."

In 2021, Mayorkas has allowed roughly one million illegal and conditionally-legal migrants from many foreign nations across the southern border with Mexico. He has also sought to bring in roughly one million migrants and several hundred thousand foreign contract workers. These legal and illegal migrants compete for the jobs and houses needed by Americans, including the roughly four million Americans who join the workforce each year.

Mayorkas "doesn’t even consider the possibility that there are competing [justice] interests here," said Mark Krikorian, the director of the Center for Immigration Studies. By not recognizing the damage caused to Americans by loose migration, Mayorkas subordinates the enforcement of Americans’ immigration laws to his own vision of justice for migrants, said Krikorian:

#4  That would be social justice?
Posted by: Mercutio || 11/19/2021 8:24 Comments || Top||

#5  So here's where the game broke down.

Once upon a time we had an informal agreement between the Democrats and the Republicans that whichever one had the temporary hand of power would keep the game more or less status quo. The Dems would float a pet project or two when they had power, and usually get it. The Republicans might cut taxes a time or two when it was there turn.

All the while our education system, and with it, our government ranks, were swelling with marxist-influenced brain rot.

And thus we've now reached the point where "keeping the status quo" is off the table. The Dems took the White House (literally took it--by theft) and they're doing everything they can to destroy the game before time allows the pendulum to swing the other way.

I read article after article about what the alleged conservatives are going to do when they retake power in 2022 or 2024. I'd postulate that if conservatives of all stripes and positions (including regular Joes like us) don't learn to fight this insurgency, 2024 may be far too late.

Question: Since a vast majority of EV's can't do a 250 mile round trip without a recharge. How is just a few 1,000 EV's in DC at one time, going to get recharged to get home? Because there are only 746 electric vehicle charging stations within a 30 mile radius of Washington, DC 20260.

So how many portable fossil fuel Generators will be needed to pull this 1,000,000 March off in DC.

Thinking Electric Vehicle (EV)?
Ask any Fireman that has had to put out a EV fire.

LAPD used secretive AI surveillance software to spy on general public's social media accounts
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The LAPD used Voyager Labs, a social media monitoring firm that claims it can 'predict crimes' based on users' activity, for a four-month period

  • Their software can rapidly amass a suspect's social media posts into a searchable interface and surveil thousands of associated accounts

  • The LAPD used the software to scour 500 accounts and thousands of messages for 'real-time tactical intelligence' and to investigate gangs and hate groups

  • Voyager says their AI gauges a user's conviction to their ideologies and whether users with extremist views have the 'passion needed to act on their beliefs'

  • The department has been scrutinized for its policy of collecting social media info and using social media searches targeted at activists and protesters

  • Police precincts in Boston, New York City, Baltimore and Washington D.C. also use third-party software to monitor social media

Government Corruption
Feds' transportation of illegals on airlines poses a serious security risk, congressman warns
[Just The News] U.S. airline passengers are facing unnecessary security risks as they head into the busy holiday travel season because federal efforts to resettle illegal migrants around the country are bypassing well-established security tactics, a Texas congressman says.

Rep. Lance Gooden (R-Texas) says illegal migrants are being provided letters asking the Transportation Security Agency to allow them to skip normal ID verification requirements because they lack official documents, instead being put through an alternate security screening process that checks luggage and ensures they aren't carrying dangerous objects.

Gooden provided Just the News one such letter provided a 46-year-old Honduran migrant who was allowed to travel from San Diego, where he had been detained, to Louisiana earlier this year.

"The individual(s) standing in front of you have recently been discharged from a U.S. immigration detention facility and must cross the country to present themselves for an ICE check-in approximately two weeks from now," the letter read. "They are currently showing you all of their identifications in their possession, which should be adequate for them to be able to be searched in Secure Flight."

The congressman added some U.S. air marshals have told his office they have arrived on what are supposed to be empty planes for a preboarding security sweep, only to find a migrant already pre-boarded.

"We've had several reports of some air marshals, you know, air marshals, when they board a flight, they have to go and identify themselves to the pilot and the crew, 'Hey, I'm armed, I'm going to be on your flight,'" he said. "Typically, that happens before anyone boards, in some cases they've boarded. And ... these packet holders, I'll call them, are already seated in their seats.

Two men wrongly convicted for killing Malcolm X in 1965 are officially exonerated: New investigation revealed Hoover COVERED UP fact that trial witnesses were FBI informants
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • A Manhattan judge on Thursday formally dismissed convictions of Muhammad Aziz, 83, and Khalil Islam, who died in 2009 aged 74: both were found guilty of Malcolm X's 1965 assassination in Harlem

  • Aziz spent 22 years in prison before he was released on parole in 1985; Islam was released in 1987

  • Both men had maintained their innocence for decades and their stories were the subject of numerous books and articles, plus a six-part Netflix documentary released last year, Who Killed Malcolm X?

  • The FBI and New York Police Department had evidence of Aziz's and Islam's innocence within hours but ignored and suppressed it, a lawyer for both men said

  • Prosecutors and defendants' lawyers agreed that new evidences suggested they played no part in the murder of the civil rights leader

  • FBI files showed that the late FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover ordered agents to tell witnesses not to reveal that they were informants when talking with police and prosecutors

  • One FBI report from September 28, 1965, even contains a description of the man whom some experts have concluded was probably the killer who wielded a shotgun — William Bradley, who died in 2018

  • Aziz said in a statement he was victimized by the criminal justice system, adding: 'I do not need this court, these prosecutors, or a piece of paper to tell me I am innocent'

  • Experts believe that Aziz and Islam's relatives could seek $1 million each in damages for the wrongful conviction

Joe Biden Transfers Power to Kamala Harris During Colonoscopy
[Breitbart] They actually found his brainstem
President Joe Biden will transfer power to Vice President Kamala Harris while he undergoes a colonoscopy, the White House announced Friday morning.

"President Biden will transfer power to the Vice President for the brief period of time when he is under anesthesia," Psaki announced to reporters.

The president is currently at Walter Reed hospital for the procedure where he will go under anesthesia and will also undergo a physical examination.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Harris would work from her office in the West Wing during Biden’s colonoscopy, while temporarily assuming the power of the presidency.

Harris will assume the official title of Acting President Kamala Harris during the procedure, allowing her to issue an executive order or sign legislation. She will also serve as the Commander in Chief until Biden reassumes power.
Psaki cited Biden’s colonoscopy as "routine" and that the White House would release further details of his physical examination on Friday afternoon.

The White House noted that former President George W. Bush had also transferred power twice to then-vice President Dick Cheney for colonoscopy procedures in 2003 and 2007.

Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham claimed in a book that former President Donald Trump opted not to transfer power to then-vice President Mike Pence during his colonoscopy in 2019.

OK! we all no Harris was on the ticket for only 2 reasons and neither were because of her politically expertise.

So she is Persona non Grata, for other than the 2 reasons she picked for in 2020.

Montana Democrat Suspends Campaign for Congressional Seat
[BREITBART] Montana Democrat Caucus Chair, state Rep. Laurie Bishop (D-Livingston), announced Wednesday she is suspending her campaign for the state’s new congressional seat due to redistricting to run for reelection in her seat in the state House.

Bishop’s announcement comes roughly one week after the states’ redistricting commission submitted their final congressional map outlining the state’s two U.S. House districts to the secretary of state’s office last Friday.

The new district Bishop was planning to run for was reportedly not as friendly to a Democrat campaign as she had hoped when announcing her congressional bid, in addition to leaving her hometown of Livingston outside of the district.

Bishop was the first Democrat that announced she was running for the seat back in July. However,
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened...
at the time of her, announcement, Bishop said she "would run in the district that includes liberal college town Missoula even if Livingston was not placed in the same district."

"Public service has always been at the heart of my decision to run for Congress, and at this moment, the most important way for me to be of service is by continuing to lead our caucus at the state level," Bishop said in a statement.

"I am so thankful to have this opportunity and grateful for everyone who joined us. We ran a campaign focused on people, and I’m so proud of the work we were able to accomplish in just a few months," she added. In the last quarter, Bishop had raised roughly $116,000 and saw contributions from over 1,300 people.

#3  The Trunks can play the same game as the Donks.

I spotted an article earlier this week that said the Trunks are better at redistricting than the Dems are. Either way, Dems will be howling like stuck pigs for the next few weeks every time one of theirs gets broomed because of this.

#4  Ohio (Mike Dewine, Gov. R) seems to be forcing Jim Jordan into a democrat district.

#5  the Trunks are better at redistricting than the Dems are.

Actually the Dems tend to segregate themselves more than Republicans by refusing to live anywhere near "deplorables" or "bitter clingers".

People that look at the data wrote that districting shenanigans account for maybe 6 districts nation-wide. The fact that democrats self-segregate into 80% dem districts account for the rest.

Nursing homes warn Build Back Better could have 'devastating impact' on labor shortages and force closures
[FoxBusiness] New open visitation rules should reduce patient load to balance the already reduced staff load.
Fortunately, it’s looking increasingly like it doesn’t have a hope in Hell of passing.

#1  Even if a nursing home doesn't close, many will have to cut their bed capacity, which would the same impact -- fewer available spaces for a steadily increasing number of potential residents on a systemic level.
