A South Bend, Indiana police union on Monday criticized Mayor Buttigieg’s handling of a recent police shooting in the city, saying his focus is predicated “solely for his political gain.
“Mayor Buttigieg’s comments have already and will continue to have a detrimental effect on local law enforcement officers and law enforcement officers nationwide,” the union states, adding that “his comments are driving a wedge between law enforcement officers and the community they took an oath to serve.”
Four years ago Oregonians overwhelmingly rejected, 66-34%, the idea of giving illegal aliens drivers licenses. Democrats in the legislature are going to vote to do it anyway. The ballot measure only passed in Multnomah county (Portland).
New York state officials say that the law that allows illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licenses is likely to also enable them to vote in elections. The law allows the 725,000 illegal aliens to be eligible for driver’s licenses and will effectively allow illegal aliens to vote in elections.
“Theoretically, they could have the ability to vote,” Democrat state Sen. Luis Sepúlvedahe (D) said. In New York, U.S. citizens only need a driver’s license to register to vote and though applicants are required to swear that they are eligible to vote, state election officials said that “it’s basically an honor system.”
Gropin Joe has been a real boon for the economy, ‘T’ shirt makers are raking in the dough now that he’s in the race. Go Joe-Joe, go !
The State Department revealed Monday that it has identified “multiple security incidents” involving current or former employees’ handling of Hillary Clinton’s emails, and that 23 “violations” and seven “infractions” have been issued as part of the department’s ongoing investigation.
The information came in a letter to Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, who is responsible for overseeing the security review.
“To this point, the Department has assessed culpability to 15 individuals, some of whom were culpable in multiple security incidents,” Mary Elizabeth Taylor, the State Department’s Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of Legislative Affairs, wrote to Grassley. “DS has issued 23 violations and 7 infractions incidents. … This number will likely change as the review progresses.”
Oh crap. Another Occasional Cortex has emerged in Denver.
I saw this over at WRSA and it struck a cord. The Don, as was Bucky with his adoring base, is admired by those that support him. In the grand scheme of things however, he commands a vast, vast bureaucracy. Everyone of the thousands of offices and agencies in his, or any President’s administration, exists for the sole purpose of acquiring power over and controlling the actions of ‘we the people’.
I applaud Trump for what he is doing but I know that regardless of how successful he is the ‘state’ would sacrifice anyone of us just to maintain their control over us or to prove a point.
Now I’m really worried (cause they nailed it so well last go-round)
Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) asked seven of the nation’s leading bankers on Wednesday to confirm their race: “As I look at the panel, and I’m grateful for your attendance, the–the eye would perceive that the seven of you have something in common. You appear to be white men. I may be mistaken,” Green said at a hearing of the House Financial Services Committee.
“If one among you happens to be something other than a white male, would you kindly extend a hand into the air? Kindly let the record reflect that there are no hands in the air and that the panel is made up of white men,” Green continued.
“This is not a pejorative,” Green said. “You’ve all sermonized to a certain extent about diversity. If you believe that your likely successor will be a woman or a person of color, would you kindly extend a hand into the air?” [No hands raised.]
Then Green told the bank executives, “For fear that you may not hear me, just raise your hand now so that I’ll know you’re there. Raise your hand, please. All of you. Sir, apparently you don’t hear me over on the end. Would you kindly extend a hand into the air if you can hear me?”
Green prodded all of them to raise their hands, which the bankers did — reluctantly.
Green continued: I know it’s difficult to go on the record sometimes, but the record has to be made. All white men, and none of you, not one, appears to believe that your successor will be a female or a person of color.
Is it your bank likely to have a female or person of color within the next decade? Kindly extend a hand into the air — two, three, four, five. All right, five. Without giving the commentary that I would dearly like to give, I’ll move on.
You know, I’m sitting next to a reverend, and I’ve heard him say that he’d rather see a sermon then hear a sermon. Let us have an opportunity to see a sermon when you return.
Next question has to do with something near and dear to my heart. My ancestors were slaves. In 2005, is it true that J.P. Morgan released information directly indicating that it directly benefited from slavery? Would the representative from J.P. Morgan respond?
Thomas Lifson over at the American Thinker has a great write-up on the three amigos and the damage they are doing to the Dem party. It reads, in part:
To say that Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Ihan Omar have chips on their shoulders would be an understatement. Both women embrace the notion of Muslim victimhood in a party that stokes the grievances of a variety of minorities who are encouraged to see themselves as victims and seek balm in the form of concessions from the majority. When the interests of these subgroups clash, the standard operating procedure of the Dems has been to co-opt the minority leadership and have them smooth over those conflicts in favor of the goodies that come from unity at the expense of the malign majority against whom they nurse their wounds.
But when religion becomes the basis for grievance, and when the radical version of that religion seeks as its sacred mission the destruction of an existing state and the imposition of a global theocracy based on its dogma, compromise becomes much more difficult.
So, we can expect Reps. Omar and Tlaib, backed up by their glamourous amiga-in-grievance Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, to continue to press demands that are unpalatable not simply to mainstream Americans, but to fellow members of the minority collation of the Democrats (such as Jews and black Christians). By criticizing the party’s treatment of them as tokens of diversity, they sow the seeds of a split.
