Earlier tonight Tucker Carlson used his opening segment of his show to do a blow-by-blow review of Joe Biden’s press conference. Carlson hits on the primary topics and subjects within the ten permitted and pre-approved media questions and white house statements. WATCH:
Oakland California is beginning a pilot for giving low income families $500/month with no strings attached for up to 600 families. The goal is to bridge the income disparity gap; however, poor white residents are not permitted to apply for the program. {Details Here}
According to CBS: […] “Oakland’s project is significant because it is one of the largest efforts in the U.S. so far, targeting up to 600 families. And it is the first program to limit participation strictly to Black, Indigenous and people of color communities.
The reason: White households in Oakland on average make about three times as much annually than black households, according to the Oakland Equity Index. It’s also a nod to the legacy of the Black Panther Party, the political movement that was founded in Oakland in the 1960s.” (read more)
Poverty is the one class distinction that doesn’t have a racial component. Ask anyone who grew up with little money or wealth and you will find those people are the least racist people you could ever meet. Poverty cuts across all cultural and racial lines… of course, as customary for ideological maintenance, the far-leftists have to pretend not to know things.
During part of his press conference earlier today Joe Biden was questioned about why the White House and DHS are blocking journalists from access to BPS detention facilities. The response from the poser was, well, quite an admission:
On March 16th the White House announced a scheduled Joe Biden press conference. Details outlined by Greg Kelly:
As expected, Biden had a list of ten scripted journalists to call on in sequence:
JoeBama will hold his first press conference today as part of the White House defensive effort to present the oval office occupant in charge of the administration. According to earlier media reporting the questions needed to be presented in advance. The highly anticipated start time is 1:15pm ET and many are wondering if Biden will have all his faculties for the effort. [Livestream Links Below]
UPDATE: Video Added
The result was as everyone expected. On foreign policy questions, Joe Biden had to read from the policy manuscript on everything. The journalists lobbed softball questions which were known and approved in advance. Biden had his “angry Joe” moments throughout the appearance.
The result…. no-one really knows who is in charge of this White House and administration; but it surely is not Joe Biden.
Interesting that Reuters would outline the walk-backs. Even more interesting that the details of the walk-backs seem to prove the DOJ never actually intended to win any of these cases, but rather wanted to advance a political narrative about extremists through their earlier statements.
The approach of building a political narrative through false accusations and over-charging in the DOJ is the essence of Lawfare. The government has endless taxpayer resources to fuel their political weaponization of the judiciary.
The process of the charges then becomes the punishment by design. The targets are drained financially, sometimes physically detained under false pretense, and then the DOJ walks backwards when the judges finally ask for proof.
The process is the punishment for political affiliation. The DOJ is fully weaponized. The majority of Americans can clearly see this taking place.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Prosecutors made some serious claims after the deadly U.S. Capitol attack, saying they had evidence rioters planned to kill elected officials, suggesting a Virginia man at the building received directives to gas lawmakers, and accusing another suspect of directing mayhem on Jan. 6 with encrypted messages.
But the Justice Department has since acknowledged in court hearings that some of its evidence concerning the riot – carried out by a mob of supporters of former President Donald Trump to try to overturn his election loss – is less damning than it initially indicated.
The Wisconsin state legislature has passed a resolution authorizing an official investigation into the 2020 election in the badger state. The resolution allows for evidence gathering and subpoena power for witness depositions.
Via Associated Press – MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Republican-controlled Wisconsin Assembly passed a resolution Tuesday to authorize an investigation into the 2020 presidential election that President Joe Biden narrowly won in the state.
The resolution, opposed by Democrats, is needed to give the committee authorization if it decides to issue subpoenas to compel testimony and gather documents, said Rep. Joe Sanfelippo. He is vice-chairman of the Assembly elections and campaign committee that would conduct the probe.
Glenn Greenwald has a great breakdown of a letter submitted by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) about the political weaponization of the intelligence community. For those who have tracked this issue Greenwald’s article is well worth the read.
GREENWALD – […] “Involvement of the intelligence community in the domestic activities of U.S. citizens is one of the most dangerous breaches of civil liberties and democratic order the U.S. Government can perpetrate. It was after World War II when the CIA, the NSA and other security state agencies that wield immense and unlimited powers in the dark were created in the name of fighting the Cold War.
Legal and institutional prohibitions on wielding that massive machinery against the American public were central to the always-dubious claim that this security behemoth that operates completely in the dark was compatible with democracy. As the ACLU noted, “in its 1947 charter, the CIA was prohibited from spying against Americans, in part because President Truman was afraid that the agency would engage in political abuse.”” (read more)
It is this writers opinion the DOJ has no plan to succeed with guilty convictions in prosecuting defendants connected to the January 6th DC protest. The process is the punishment. We see this pattern with many of the activities associated with the Lawfare group inside the DOJ. Using a weaponized justice system for political value is the essence of Lawfare.
As a consequence, the politically weaponized DOJ is engaged in a public narrative building campaign intended to create political value only. Prosecutor Michael Sherwin appearing on 60 minutes in combination with DOJ officials giving statements to the New York Times is exactly the same historic pattern used by Main Justice in their political attacks against President Trump and his campaign.
AG Merrick Garland takes-over exactly where Loretta Lynch, Sally Yates, Eric Holder and DAG Rod Rosenstein left off. However, this time a federal judge is warning the DOJ the actions of the justice department are compromising their case, and he will take action against the department’s lawyers if this continues.
WASHINGTON – U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta said during a court hearing conducted by phone and Zoom he was “surprised” to see Michael Sherwin, the former acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, and other officials discussing the pending investigation into the insurrection in interviews with the New York Times and CBS’s 60 Minutes.
“Assault weapons” politically defined as any firearm that can kill people. “High Capacity Magazines” defined as any weapon that can hold more than seven bullets. “Universal Background Checks” defined as a federal registry of who owns guns in the United States (you can imagine how that registry aligns with the newly proposed “domestic extremist” list). Below are Biden’s transcribed remarks:
(White House) – JOE BIDEN: “I don’t need to wait another minute, let alone an hour, to take commonsense steps that will save the lives in the future and to urge my colleagues in the House and Senate to act.
We can ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in this country once again. I got that done when I was a senator. It passed. It was law for the longest time, and it brought down these mass killings. We should do it again.
