Biden tries to address rising crime and voting laws
Last month I met with a similar group to unveil my comprehensive strategy to do just that. And it's been--it's--it's been a, you know, I guess I look at the attorney general. We've been this a long--at this a long time. A long time. Seems like most of my career I've been dealing with this issue. Well there's no one size fit all approach. We know there are some things that work. And the first of those that works is stemming the flow of firearms used to commit violent crimes.

Joe Biden’s most recent speeches were a national embarrassment.  Did Joe Biden even read the speeches he was given before he went out there?

"And we've talked--you and I have talked about this, mayor, before. And it includes cracking down on holding rogue gun dealers accountable for violating the federal law. It include the Justice Department creating five new strike forces to crack down on illegal gun trafficking in the corridors supplying weapons of--to cities of New York from New York to the Bay Area."

Really? In addition to the many laws we already have on guns?

Five new strike forces to control guns?

Supporting local police?  Sorry, Joe it's a bit late for that.

We did learn that when people are released from prison they get $25 and a bus ticket!  Sniff, sniff.



Then we had the big lie on voting.

Where are the people who are being denied a vote?  Where are the camera crews or the reporters interviewing the people who didn't get to vote?

  “The 21st-century Jim Crow assault is real,” President Biden claimed Tuesday. “We’re facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War—that’s not hyperbole"




We finally have someone ready to take on, as he calls it the Klu Klux Clams.

He told us "the world is wondering what America is going to do?

He said Merrck Garland is challenging Georgia's "vicious" anti-voting law." Of course, Joe can't tell us why it's vicious or anti-voting?


He did mention the Texas law requiring partisan poll watchers. We certainly don't want that, do we?  We don't want anyone seeing what's going on. That would be voter suppression don't ya know! He called it "intimidating." We wouldn't want to intimidate poll workers.
Then there is the matter of having to drive a long way to vote. That would stop a civic minded citizen every time. He said that "this year alone 17 states enacted laws to make it harder to vote." 

Who would believe such blatant bull shit?


He told us it's also "about who gets to count the vote."    That was the most frightening part of the speech.

In about 16 months the left's puppet will be defanged.

It's going to be about what can be done to stop them in the meantime.

Go with Joe--who will be way too old, or go with Harris--unproven, untested, volatile, unable to handle things effectively.

Win, win for the GOP.

David Harsayni had an interesting reaction:

The second reason Biden likely gave this speech was to preemptively corrode trust in the 2022 and 2024 elections. Biden spent the first part of his talk bragging about how the United States had just conducted the cleanest election in history, grousing about efforts to undermine trust in our voting system. He then spent the rest of his time doing exactly that. Many of the Democrats who can’t stop talking about the horrors of Trump’s “Big Lie” had no compunction disputing results in Georgia or the presidential election only a few years ago. Now, they are creating a ready-made justification for delegitimizing any Republican victory.

You still see progressives here claiming the 2016 election was stolen.  This is fertile ground for Biden to  till.

I am not sure she can, based on her rather stunningly poor showing during her own previous campaign, which was an abject failure.

Plus, she isn't the most popular Democrat, and has made a few enemies within her party who won't mind taking her out.

How's that 'not Trump' thing workin' for ya'?

Democrats have lost the power of the protest.  Attacking civil society might have worked against Trump but Trump ain't in charge any longer.  Biden's on the hot seat now.  Resistance won't create unity any longer.

The writing is on the wall.  Democrats have embraced a lot of anti-Trump positions that just aren't very popular without Trump in charge.  So, Democrats are desperately searching for a new scapegoat.  Democrats can't do anything when they're not in charge and can't do anything when they are in charge.  The bottom line is that Democrats can't do anything at any time -- except make excuses for why they can't do anything.

Biden is preemptively making excuses for what is beginning to look like another Obama shellacking in the midterms next year.  Amazingly Biden is already blaming a rigged election. (sound familiar?)   Biden's Big Malarkey is just that, malarkey.

Yes, shifted.  Since Jan. 6 cops are the victims.  The 'insurrection' succeeded in changing the narrative that BLM created.  BLM protesting cops has lost traction in the news cycle.

Democrats have used the 'insurrection' to portray cops as protectors.  Democrats have complained that cops didn't take adequate measures to protect the Capitol; cops should have gotten tough.  Democrats deployed the military to protect the Capitol because cops weren't tough enough.  Democrats have adopted a much more militant stance for the role of cops.

The 'insurrection' was the perfect counter to BLM protests.  If Trump had planned the protest and 'insurrection' as a counter to BLM then the plan worked beautifully.  Democrats oppose anything Trump.  So, if Trump supports violent protest then Democrats will automatically oppose violent protests.  Planned or not, BLM is under the bus.

Remember when they had dreams of turning Texas blue? Take a look at what democrat representatives from those southernmost Texas precincts are now saying. Open borders did that! Look at what they've done to the cities. Did we really think that NYC democrats would nominate a strict law & order candidate?

The hand writing is on the wall for democrats.

My only question is why the electorate has to subject itself to so much damage to relive what we experienced the last time they held power?

It looks like this one might just be a wrap so:

In conclusion:

The rising crime problem is one that was unnecessary and self created by democrats during the violent George Floyd riots, when democrats proposed defunding the police. This one cannot be easily fixed. The police were demonized, emasculated and in some precincts defunded and or held more liable. We have lost a lot of brave courageous police officers. Many have taken early retirement or quit. Few now want such a job.

When it comes to voting laws, I defy anyone to tell us the recent changes significantly, or even moderately, different from what they were before 2020. Voting was best when it was a civic duty, accomplished within a single 18 hour day with the necessary ID. Voting can be easy, but it should also be secure.
