Biden admits, without explicitly saying it, that the Democratic lunacy about defunding the police has cost many lives and is now biting Democratic politicians in their behinds. 1/2
Funding The Police Is Not Enough
WSJ: Of course what’s needed is not just funding, but also political leadership that opposes lawlessness and does not seek to use the actions of a particular officer as a pretext to attack cops in general and advance ideological agendas. 2/2
Axios: Democrats, in private and public, are warning that rising crime — and the old and new progressive calls to defund the police — represent the single biggest threat to Democrats' electoral chances in 2022.
Democrats say it's no coincidence that Eric Adams, the leader in the New York City mayoral race, ran against defunding the police. Adams is a retired NYPD captain with a 22-year law-enforcement career.
Homicide rates in large cities — many of them run by Democrats — were "up more than 30 percent on average last year, and up another 24 percent for the beginning of this year," foreshadowing a violent summer, the N.Y. Times reported June 1.
NYT's Tom Friedman, one of Biden's favorite columnists, writes today under the headline "Want to Get Trump Re-elected? Dismantle the Police".
NYT's Tom Friedman: "As for policing, this issue could really sink Democrats. For example, big swaths of my old hometown, Minneapolis, have been turned into a dangerous and dystopian ghost city, wracked by gun violence, since the police murder of George Floyd."

Now that Democratic establishment has realized opposition to Voter ID is a loser (voters overwhelmingly support it), they are furiously trying to tell their base that the establishment thinking is changing based on a change in data, but their narrative has always been a bald lie.
Make no mistake. Democrats are giving in on Voter ID in order to get Universal Mail-in Voting. Voter ID fraud is arduous and hard to fine tune. Mail-in vote processing fraud can be carried out surgically with great precision.
Republicans must either fight all Democratic attempts at implementing Universal Mail-in Voting, both at the federal and state levels, or wake the hell up and fix the Mail-in Vote Counting fraud loophole once and for all, thereby neutralizing any incentive to favor mail-in voting.
U.S. Catholic bishops passed a controversial proposal on communion, advancing a push to deny President Biden the sacrament for his stance on abortion."
NYT excoriates Catholic bishops for this decision (73% voted in favor), likening Biden to Pope.
NYT has its own view of what Catholicism ought to be about today, as they impute the Pope's views on Christianity:
"Mr. Biden, like Pope Francis, embodies a liberal Christianity focused less on sexual politics and more on racial inequality, climate change and poverty." -- NYT
NYT is Livid
"The move to target a president, who has regularly attended Mass throughout his life, is striking coming from Catholic leaders, particularly after many conservative Catholics turned a blind eye to the sexual improprieties of former President Donald J. Trump." -- NYT
Unemployment Insurance fraud is not easy to pull off because of the involvement of employers, but it's still rampant. One rapper who boasted on YouTube about making a lot of money from UI fraud was charged with stealing $1.2 million in jobless benefits.
“As much as $400 billion may have been lost to fraud by way of falsified claims for COVID-related unemployment benefits," says Congressman Gary Palmer. "Identity theft has become rampant and foreign crime rings have stolen hundreds of billions of dollars."
"This is one of the greatest thefts of American tax dollars in history, totaling more than the entire 2021 budgets of the Army and Navy combined, and more than the combined budgets of eight states."
Does anyone still want to argue that govt knows better how to spend our money?
Biden says he stressed on Putin that if Russia interferes in American elections, Russia will lose credibility. Same if Navalny dies in prison.
I am sure that put the fear of God in Putin. And they said Trump was soft on Putin.
2. Biden's Press Conference
Biden says he gave a list of sixteen infrastructures in America (like energy supply, water supply, etc.) that Russia must not attack, because it would matter.
Once again, Putin must be cowering in his boots, now that Biden has given him a list.
3. Biden's Press Conference
"No, there were no threats. Just simple assertions made. As a matter of fact, Putin quoted my mom. You may be surprised to know that it was very ... colloquial!"
This is an utter and complete lie. Who has looked at the mutations that the coronavirus underwent in making a jump from the bats to the humans? Nobody. Those mutations cannot be found. This was a lie when Fauci said it. Question is did he lie willfully or was he duped.
"A day before the teleconference [on 1/31/20], Kristian Andersen, an expert in infectious disease genomics at the Scripps Research Translational Institute in California, had told Fauci that the genetic structure of the virus looked like it might have been engineered in a lab."
Does this sound like prominent virologists agreeing the virus did not come from a lab?
Dr. Fauci clearly and unequivocally lied in the above segment.
"I expected that I was paying this fortune to learn how to think. But they're forcing you to think the way they want you to think. I realized, wow, this is insane. I thought America was different but I saw so many similarities to N Korea that I started worrying." -- Yeonmi Park
Those similarities include anti-Western sentiment, collective guilt and suffocating political correctness.
Yeonmi saw red flags immediately upon arriving at the school.
During orientation, she was scolded for admitting she enjoyed classic literature such as Jane Austen.
