Democrats Intro Bill To Strip Federal Grants
From Employers Conducting Criminal Background Checks.

Original Article

Posted By: Skinnydip, 4/29/2021 4:38:33 PM

House Democrats introduced a bill to block forms of federal grants from going to employers that conduct criminal background checks, or even “inquire” about the criminal history of an applicant. The bill, introduced by Representatives David Trone and Maxine Waters, seeks to “amend” the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 by “conditioning eligibility for grants” under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program.

This is really getting out of control.

Any congressman, senator voting for, or anyone supporting this type of legislation should be held responsible for each and every crime committed by a criminal or ex-criminal that ever gets a lobe and then breaks another law in this lifetime.

In their defense, the Demon-Rats need to support their voting base. And criminals are clearly a 100% solid voting block for the Demon-Rats!!!! It's just like how the Republicans support law abiding patriotic Americans, because they are a solidly 100% Republican voting block!!! Too bad there are fewer and fewer law abiding patriotic Americans every year, and more and more criminals!!!

Background checks for purchasing a gun, getting a concealed carry license....but not to work in a bank, or a construction company or a nuclear power plant. All the easier for the antifa thugs to work into places to sabotage and criminals to steal.

Pedophiles can get jobs at schools and day care centers? Felons with theft issues can get retail jobs? Drunk drivers can become truck drivers? Bank robbers can work for banks and credit unions? What could go wrong?

As it stands, in some jurisdictions, including Ohio, if you hire someone without knowing about him or her, and that person harms another employee, you, the employer, have committed an intentional tort.

Thats great for criminals, not so great for everyone else. These idiot Democrats do understand that any federal and state contracts actually require employers to do criminal background checks? If you get federal/state money you need to assure it is not misspent or misused. These Democrats will need to change the law to protecting funds in order to protect criminals.

Officials in Maricopa County, Arizona, where a Republican-backed audit of the 2020 election is underway, said they cannot give the audit team access to county router information that was subpoenaed by the state Senate. In a Monday letter sent to Ken Bennett, a former Republican secretary of state in Arizona who is serving as the Republican-led state Senate’s audit liaison, Deputy County Attorney Joseph La Rue said the county “cannot at this time provide the virtual images of routers” to be examined by auditors, citing “a significant security risk to law enforcement data utilized by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office as well as numerous federal agencies.”

Late last week Portland, Ore., Mayor Ted Wheeler took to video to plea for the community’s help to “unmask” antifa. The violence-prone anarchist-fascist group has terrorized Portland with months of violent and destructive insurrectionist riots despite Joe Biden merely calling antifa an “idea.” Someone purporting to represent antifa has responded to Wheeler with a new video. In this video, the masked individual pushes anti-American themes and publishes Wheeler’s home address. The individual finishes the disturbing presentation with a veiled threat to kill Mayor Wheeler.

If you are reluctant to get the COVID vaccine and beginning to feel overrun by forces pressuring you to get vaccinated, you aren’t alone and you aren’t crazy. There’s a reason you feel the way you do. You are being manipulated. We are being bombarded with commercials pushing us to be socially responsible. Medical professionals, celebrities, and folks in our communities admonish us not to shirk our civic duty. Suddenly, the vaccine is the only way to normalcy. Friends and family openly brag about their vaccinations and gasp in astonishment when they find out you haven’t decided or, worse, that you will not get it.

President Joe Biden's proclamation of the annual National Day of Prayer failed to include the word 'God', an omission that is drawing criticism from some religious leaders. Biden, a devout Catholic, typically ends his public remarks with the phrase 'May God bless you all, and God protect our troops' - but his proclamation for Thursday's Day of Prayer contained no such acknowledgement of a higher power. 'Prayer has nourished countless souls and powered moral movements — including essential fights against racial injustice, child labor, and infringement on the rights of disabled Americans,' the proclamation read in part.
