How afraid is Biden of Trump? Ask the NY Times.

How afraid is Biden of Trump? Ask the NY Times.

Times reporters Katie Benner, Katie Rogers, and Michael S. Schmidt published an article on April 2, 2022, about Biden’s frustration with Garland about the lack of prosecution against Trump, according to two people familiar with Biden’s comments.

“The attorney general’s deliberative approach has come to frustrate Democratic allies of the White House and, at times, President Biden himself,” the Times reported. “As recently as late last year, Mr. Biden confided to his inner circle that he believed former President Donald J. Trump was a threat to democracy and should be prosecuted, according to two people familiar with his comments.”

“And while the president has never communicated his frustrations directly to Mr. Garland, he has said privately that he wanted Mr. Garland to act less like a ponderous judge and more like a prosecutor who is willing to take decisive action over the events of Jan. 6,” the report added.

According to NYT (4/2/22), Biden told his inner circle that Trump should be prosecuted for Jan 6 and Merrick Garland should stop acting “like a ponderous judge” and take decisive action. Democrats across the country took their cues from the top. https://t.co/3odoGFHGYN” / X (twitter.com)

Why every vote does count Part 2

Why every vote does count Part 2. From now till election day, I’ll be saying that every vote counts. Do not stay home or mail in your ballot. Here’s a race that the Republicans were leading by 5%. What happened? Many did not vote. But just barely the Republican won.

A recount in a House of Delegates district south of Richmond confirmed Wednesday that Del. Kim Taylor (R-Dinwiddie) prevailed over Democrat Kimberly Pope Adams, though her margin of victory shrank. Taylor won with 14,289 votes — 53 more than the 14,236 for Adams. The recount shifted 25 votes to the Democrat, who conceded.

FBI Director Christopher Wray told the House Judiciary Committee in July that the bureau’s actions were limited to “a single field office.”

Attack on Conservative Catholics.

FBI Director Christopher Wray told the House Judiciary Committee in July that the bureau’s actions were limited to “a single field office.” But a report by Judicial Watch tells a different story.

Judicial Watch reported that the 98 pages it obtained through a Freedom of Information lawsuit showed that the FBI memo from earlier this year that tagged some Catholics as violent extremists due to their religious beliefs was reviewed by the agency’s Office of General Counsel. Coordination also took place with Portland and Milwaukee officials.

This is what was uncovered so far. How many other FBI offices may have also investigated and here’s the difference. Conservative Catholics and Catholic groups.

Catholic churches have been attacked more than 200 times since May of 2022.”

Let’s clear up one thing about January 6 and the FBI.

Let’s clear up one thing about January 6 and the FBI. There has been much misinformation from the left when it comes to the FBI and January 6. One thing for sure. FBI had people in the crowd.

There is no way that they would not be there. It was known for weeks that this rally and protest was taking place. One thing we are not sure of is what if any did the agents play in the rally that for some turned into a protest.

Vivek Ramaswamy was pretty much on in the interview with CNN. The CNN person had no clue about what happened January 6. Remember that the MSM only goes by what parts of the videos they want their audience to see.

 

Vivek Ramaswamy on X: “Too bad for CNN, we’ll take the TRUTH on Jan. 6 mainstream. There is clear evidence that there was at the very least entrapment of peaceful protestors, similar to the fake Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot & countless other cases. The FBI won’t admit how many undercover officers… https://t.co/SBuc6nnymg” / X (twitter.com)

What did you think would happen? California farm workers make less with overtime law.

What did you think would happen? California farm workers make less with overtime law. A law took effect back in 2019 that put the farm workers on overtime pay. It passed in 2016. As it was phased it the idea was to have the farm workes make more money. But did it work?

A recent  study showed that some of the workers were making from 100 to 200 dollars less a week. Why? Many farmworkers are not working overtime and their take-home pay has decreased as a result of employers reducing hours.

“We have an option to keep fighting for an agricultural economy in which workers are treated with dignity and have a real say,” said Antonio De Loera-Brust, communications director for UFW.

De Loera-Brust conceded the union has heard from workers who have had their hours cut, but emphasized that employers are the ones making the schedules. He also acknowledged that retailers continue to raise prices, which creates a “horrible race to the bottom” that hurts growers and workers.

You got to be kidding me. After a crushing defeat, Lee is running for her Congressional seat. Just a few weeks back, Lee got her butt whipped in the mayoral race. Now she’s running for her old seat again.

She will be running against a former employee of hers. I guess some folks just can’t walk away.

Sheila Jackson Lee on X: “I thought about the many more gifts I have to give to my constituents of the 18th Congressional District.  Those gifts involve more hard work and my ability to get the job done!

How sick is this? California Republicans and Green Party need not apply. Voting in the March 5, 2024, Presidential Primary Election.

How sick is this? California Republicans and Green Party need not apply. Voting in the March 5, 2024, Presidential Primary Election. I received an email the other day directing me to the California Secretary of States website. I was surprised to find this.

In the upcoming 2024 election, if you’re not registered in a political party, you will not be able to vote for President. You’re ballot will leave that choice off. Look at this link below. Republicans and Greens need to contact those parties directly.

Voting in the March 5, 2024, Presidential Primary Election
Your vote-by-mail ballot will not have presidential candidates on it.

As a voter who declined to provide a political party preference, you are considered a “No Party Preference (NPP)” voter, and your ballot will not have presidential candidates on it.

If you want to vote for U.S. President, you must request a ballot with presidential candidates from one of the following parties:

  • American Independent Party
  • Democratic Party
  • Libertarian Party

You can request a replacement ballot with presidential candidates from your county elections office by submitting a No Party Preference Cross-over Ballot Notice and Application (PDF) to your county elections office or by:

  • Phone
  • Email
  • Fax
  • Other electronic means

If you vote at the polls:

Ask the poll worker for a ballot with either American Independent, Democratic, or Libertarian party presidential candidates when checking-in at a polling place or vote center.

If you want to vote for the Green, Peace and Freedom, or Republican parties’ presidential candidates:

You must re-register with that specific party.

How can this be? GM laying off workers? But it’s all about building the EV.

UAW Local 5960 member Kimberly Fuhr inspects a Chevrolet Bolt EV during vehicle production on May 6, 2021, at the General Motors Orion Assembly Plant in Orion Township, Michigan.

How can this be? GM laying off workers? But it’s all about building the EV. Not so long ago we were told that this new contract would make life so much better for the union folk. Huge raise come at a price, but no the workers wouldn’t listen. Now the layoffs begin.

First it was the slashing od 24% of the workforce at it’s Cruse division. And all the robo taxi’s built there recalled.

Now this. GM plans to lay off about 1,300 workers in Michigan starting early next year due to vehicles they produce ending production, the company disclosed in state documents.

But don’t worry they will have jobs for you in 2025. Yeah right.

Help me out here, why isn’t the EU helping Ukraine more?

European Union Agrees to Start Membership Talks with Ukraine

Help me out here, why isn’t the EU helping Ukraine more? Just the other day the Ukranian President again came over here for another handout. He just walked across the border and hiked up to DC.

No, he hopped on a plane and flew thousands of miles. Bypassing all those other countries he flew over. Why didn’t he stop and visit his neighbors? Maybe that he came here because the EU turned him down as a group. But they can still individually give him aid.

Finally, we’re one country. The EU is over 20 countries. Why ask us for a larger pkg? Asked the US for 61 million and EU 54 million.
