Justice comes to Washington DC
The top federal prosecutor in the nation’s capital: Jeanine Pirro, called for more accountability over rehabilitation for youth crimes as her office focuses on enhancing enforcement and increasing staffing. It seems that juvenile suspects allegedly involved in beatings & carjackings routinely go to family court, where the effort is "rehabilitation." Young thugs who beat people senseless or within an inch of their lives need to face real punishment not a month of arts & crafts. The President is close to nationalizing the district which has become a lawless community.
"Just last week, here in our nation's capital, two people on the brink of beginning their life had hopes and dreams that were never realized because a cold-blooded murderer made a decision to shoot them down on the streets on a cold, rainy night in our nation's capital. This will not go without just accounting," Pirro said. "My voice should be heard loud and clear. No more. No more tolerance of hatred, no more mercy for criminals."
In addition to addressing street crime, Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered a grand jury investigation into Obama-era intelligence officials who tried to create a narrative that became known as the "Russia hoax." Former FBI director James Comey and former CIA director John Brennan, now face the very real threat of criminal charges. Sen Adam Schiff is under criminal investigation for mortgage fraud. Former special counsel Jack Smith is under investigation via a federal ethics watchdog. Yesterday the FBI agreed to help track down democratic lawmakers who fled Texas in an effort to block a redistricting plan. The FBI fired senior officials this week who resisted the Trump administration's demands to turn over the names of agents who worked on the Jan. 6 investigation.

Good morning and welcome to the news. We begin the day with news of James Carville issuing a formal apology and retraction for defaming First Lady Melania Trump last week when he alleged, she was part of an international sex trafficking network. Can you imagine the rhetoric of these people on the left!
Will the First Lady accept that "apology?"
She may be busy with other things.
I think a nice little defamation lawsuit would be the best course of action.
I would support a true census. How can we possibly do anything with immigration law without having any idea about the situation on the ground? Relying on Democrats' intuition has proven woefully inadequate.
But Trump doesn't appear to be ordering a true census. Trump seems to be calling for a population reconstruction based on election results. That's going to have as much merit as using a climate reconstruction to kill the US energy sector. Trump is becoming the best argument for why we should have elected Al Gore instead of GW. Trump is too focused on his own lockboxes.
Counting residents is one thing, awarding representation for non-citizens is another. Perhaps we can do both, count everyone, but limit representation to citizens.
If the true census is limited to US citizens and authorized residents then unauthorized aliens won't be counted and won't factor into apportioning representation. I would think it would be appropriate to exclude temporary residents with H1A, H2B, and other visa holders from a true census.
There really are a significant number of non-citizens who have been legally permitted to live and work in the United States on a permanent basis. Those non-citizens can't vote even though they are in the United States legally. A true census should not exclude these people. That's my concern over Trump's apparent use of voting records to reconstruct the population instead of authorizing a true census. Trump is throwing the baby out with the bath water.
IMO if you are here on a green card legally then you should be counted because you are under the jurisdiction of the city/ state you are in and also federally.
It still seems a bit unfair that a state like California which openly invites people in, with or without green cards gets extra representation which it doesn't deserve. And to add insult to injury, states like California, Illinois, New York and MA have all but redistricted Republicans out of existence. The move by the Texas legislature has put a spotlight on what democrats have quietly gotten away with.
Absolutely! If it's legal and Constitutional, then it needs to be done. This has been a backdoor attempt to subvert the law and rig the system by getting all these illegals on American soil, so the Dems could pad the numbers and gain new representatives.
Oh, That’s Why Democrats Don’t Want a New Census
They have done everything possible to over represent democrats.
I think that Israel occupying and taking over the whole Gaza strip is the best solution to end the conflict. I'm sure the Palestinians would do better with IDF in charge.
Israel tried to allow them self rule, a peaceful coexistence, but the Palestinians chose to kill Jews instead.
Federalizing Washington D.C. is only a bandaid; it solves nothing. The problem is these young thugs have no productive outlet. There aren't any factories, there aren't any jobs, there's now way for these young people to prove their worth TO THEMSELVES.
For 40 years Republicans and Democrats have sold out the United States and destroyed all productive outlets for our young people. What did we get from the deal? We got an overinflated economy, undervalued currency, and faux oligarchs who can't control their own peckers let alone the world.
There's nothing for these young thugs to do, except crime. The only outlet these young thugs have to prove their worth TO THEMSELVES is committing crimes. Wall Street has killed productive work in the United States. And we have rewarded these financial traitors by forcing workers to hand over their retirement savings. White collar criminals are complaining because young thugs are stealing what they already stole.
Trump is trying to shoot a dead horse to avoid fulfilling his promise to bring back a productive economy. Trump needs to stop masterbating in the corner and do what he promised. You want to fight crime? Build factories, create jobs, provide these young thugs something productive to do.
Draft them, 2 years mandatory service after high school.
So they can learn the passive aggressive war skills of a DEI military? Somehow teaching these young thugs better ways to destroy things and kill people doesn't seem like a positive course of action.
Recreating a Civilian Conservation Corps would accomplish the same thing without teaching young thugs how to be more effective thugs. But the white collar criminals would object to that waste of public money. That would go against the neoliberal business strategy to "keep 'em dumb, keep 'em poor, keep 'em dependent" so the fat cats can feed at the public trough. Status quo Republicans want to ensure there is a sucker born every minute; that's the legacy of the Republican Revolution, Democrats' third way flimflam, and TEA Party scams.
Sounds good in paper but the problem you will have is these thugs will bring their gang affiliation into the service they join.
It already happens with those that volunteer as when the Ronald Reagan was stationed in Japan, many of the businesses in town did not allow Americans in because the Navy brought gang members to the country and were stationed on the Reagan.
For some truly strange reason you seem to think all that is something to be proud of.
So much for no one is above the law and innocent people don't mind being investigated.
Those talking points expired the second Trump took office.
Not a single one of those "investigations" is based on commonly accepted fact.
Trump promised y'all he would be your retribution and he is trying to make good on it, thats all this is. Pure unsupported vengeance.
Except it is a now known verified fact that Trump was in constant communication with Vlad Putin to build a Trump Tower in Moscow right up to election day in 2016, and lying about it. That alone is proof of collusion with an enemy of the US!
Like the Russia Collusion "investigation".
Do you believe nobody is above the law? Do you not think there should be an investigation?
For example, should Jack Smith be investigated by the Trump DOJ ? Fuck no.
All of the accused should be investigated by the DOJ and FBI. No one is above the law.
