Cops find respect, warm welcome, more
money in Florida
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 11/14/2021 6:01:07 PM
More than a dozen NYPD cops have ditched the Big Apple to join the force in a small Florida city — part of a nationwide trend of disgruntled officers finding greener pastures in pro-police communities. Lakeland — a community of 108,000 people 35 miles east of Tampa — mounted a social media campaign targeting NYC cops earlier this year, and in April dispatched a delegation to recruit in Times Square. Fourteen former Finest moved to Lakeland in the past year — 12 of them wooed over the past two months thanks to the recruiting trip. The respect accorded cops in Florida “was an eye opener,”

Joe Biden’s nominee to head the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Saule Omarova, faced fierce questions from Republicans on the Hill today. Rightly so, given her radical positions on capitalism and banking. My colleague Dennis Santiago has written about some of those positions here and here.
Here she is arguing why we should do away with private banking and increase government control by having everything run through the Fed. “How is it politically feasible for the Central Bank to effectively take money away from people’s accounts?” she asks. [Video]
Oh. That’s reassuring. Because that sure sounds like they want the government
Joe Biden is just not popular. His agenda sucks. His presidency sucks. And the 2022 midterms are geared for a massive red wave that could render him irrelevant. The generic GOP ballot has a ten-point advantage over Democrats, according to The Washington Post's poll. It's the first time a gap that wide has ever been recorded. Rising inflation is an issue. There's a global supply chain crisis. Americans are still trapped in Afghanistan. And illegal aliens continue to flood the border. It's a mess—and Biden seems incapable of handling…anything. He has task forces to handle these issues, but they never solve the problem,

According to the media, Kyle Rittenhouse was a white supremacist. According to the media, Kyle Rittenhouse was an active shooter. According to the media, Kyle Rittenhouse was a murderer.
In reality, he was none of these.
Kyle Rittenhouse was a 17-year-old young man who went to Kenosha, Wisconsin, in order to protect businesses and administer medical aid to those who needed it. He was chased down by Joseph Rosenbaum, a 36-year-old convicted child molester; he shot Rosenbaum when Rosenbaum grabbed for his gun. He was then chased down by Anthony Huber, 26, a man convicted of two felony counts

Former President Donald Trump got a reprieve from the city’s efforts to evict his company from the Ferry Point golf course.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Debra James granted the Trump Organization a temporary stay from Mayor de Blasio’s effort to break the company’s contract to run the Bronx course by Nov. 14 – a move that could cost the city over $30 million.
After the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, de Blasio ended contracts for Trump’s company to operate the Central Park Carousel, the Wollman and Lasker ice rinks in the park, and the Bronx golf course.
The city’s Parks Department quickly picked new operators
This week, the Kyle Rittenhouse trial heated up as more and more details came out about exactly what happened that night.
In true Tucker Carlson fashion, he had a hilarious and sarcastic take on the trial, especially when it comes to Joseph Rosenbaum, a chid rapist who attacked Rittenhouse that night last summer.
“The trial confirmed exactly what happened, and here are the facts about it. A convicted child rapist called Joseph Rosenbaum was released from a mental hospital and then went directly to join the mob that was burning downtown Kenosha. Once he got to the riot, Rosenbaum saw Kyle Rittenhouse and immediately threatened to kill him,” Tucker explained.
Newly released footage of the Ashli Babbitt shooting has been obtained and released by Judicial Watch. The footage is part of the 14,000 hours of documented surveillance video that the FBI and Capitol Police have refused to release to the public.
The footage is striking in that it shows Capitol Police officers gathered behind the protesters while they suspiciously orchestrate a break-in of a corridor to the Senate chambers. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton sets up the video at the five minute mark. [Video]
The video was also announced by Judicial Watch in a press release:
Piece by piece we’re putting together a clearer picture
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has quietly acknowledged that far more people have natural immunity than was earlier reported. The CDC quietly acknowledged that a staggering 146.6 million people have been infected by the Sars-CoV-2 virus and have survived it.
The CDC updated its May figures in October after declining to update the numbers for five months.
The CDC estimates that 124 million of the 146.6 million infections resulted in “symptomatic illnesses,” although it is unclear why only one in four infections sought out medical treatment. The CDC further estimated that there were 7.5 million hospitalizations,
This week’s decision on who to select as our top knucklehead was not an easy one, as Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) provided stiff competition (pun intended, and more to follow) for this week’s honoree. But Assistant Prosecutor Thomas Binger – who has led the prosecution’s murder case against Kyle Rittenhouse – has made the trial look more like an episode from the 1980s sitcom “Night Court” than a high-profile trial receiving national attention. And speaking of TV lawyers, do you suppose Binger graduated from The University of America Samoa Law School like Jimmy McGill from “Better Call Saul?”
On Wednesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) who two months ago survived his recall election, extended the COVID state of emergency yet again. It will now extend until March 31, 2022, which is a full four and a half months from now, and a little over two years since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic.
As Tom Tapp reported for Deadline, this is the third time that Newsom has issued such an extension. He also wrote:
Newsom first declared the state of emergency on March 2, 2020, just hours after the Golden State saw its first death from what was then referred to as the coronavirus.

As it is with “medical expert” commentary, the state of legal analysis in the media is absolutely dire, as we’ve noted here previously.
One big reason why is thanks to the strong political biases of legal analysts like CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin. While it’s not necessarily a bad thing to be a politically opinionated legal analyst, what is wrong is allowing your biases to cloud your judgment as to the specific facts of the cases/trials on which you’re being asked to provide comment and analysis.
In Toobin’s case, his analyses about the Kyle Rittenhouse case have been so bad that even the trial’s judge – Bruce Schroeder, an evil man according to leftists
Reps Liz Cheney (RINO-WY) and Bennie Thompson (D-MS) are seeking criminal charges on Trump’s former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows after he failed to appear before their sham January 6 Committee.
The Marxists on the January 6 Committee issued Meadows a subpoena because he was with Trump on January 6.
Meadows, like Bannon, defied the subpoena and was instructed by Trump to “respect long-standing principles of executive privilege.”
“Mr. Meadows’s actions today—choosing to defy the law—will force the Select Committee to consider pursuing contempt or other proceedings to enforce the subpoena,” Thompson and Cheney, vice chair of the sham panel, said in a statement Friday.

It’s no secret that Americans are paying record prices at the gas pumps. (snip) So why now, of all times, is the Biden administration selling off America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (“SPR”) to Asia? As the name suggests, the SPR is America’s emergency backup supply of oil. (snip) Biden is now under pressure to tap the SPR to relieve some of the pressure on fuel prices. (snip) It turns out, though, that Biden is already tapping into the SPR; he’s just not doing it to help Americans. (snip) Biden is selling massive amounts of SPR oil...to Asia!
The nation's top infectious disease expert says that COVID-19 hospitalizations are rising among people fully vaccinated who have not had booster shots. Dr Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said waning immunity from the initial shots is leading to a rise in severe cases among immunized Americans. 'What we're starting to see now is an uptick in hospitalizations among people who've been vaccinated but not boosted,' he told NBC News in an interview on Tuesday. 'It's a significant proportion, but not the majority by any means.' It comes as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews applications from both Pfizer-BioNTech
America's recovery from the delta variant surge dropped the pace of new infections to under 500,000 per week in late October. Now cases are above 600,000 per week and are rising in 34 states, a USA TODAY analysis of Johns Hopkins University data shows. The numbers are not close to January, when weekly infections peaked at 1.7 million. But the recovery from one wave has reversed into another wave, more than six months after free, safe, effective vaccines became widely available to all adults. The United States is again reporting an average of more than 1 case every second. Unvaccinated
President Joe Biden has become infamous both here at home and on the world stage for being gaffe-prone during public appearances where cringe-inducing moments are standard fare, including the times when Biden makes up stories out of whole cloth, utters extremely inappropriate comments that no one can explain, seems to forget what he’s supposed to say and/or forgets the names of world leaders as they’re listening to him speak.
In many instances, his handlers have had to step in and take over, aggressively herding the media away like cattle during a roundup, awkwardly upstaging the leader of the free world at a time when this country needs a confident leader
WASHINGTON — Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel said Thursday that Republican candidates should continue talking about voter fraud and the 2020 election heading into the midterms, even while acknowledging that President Joe Biden won last November.“I mean, we have to talk about the things that people saw,” McDaniel said during a reporters’ roundtable hosted by the Christian Monitor. She highlighted concerns from poll watchers and voters who she said were “frustrated” because they were turned away from polling sites or who felt that the presidential election “wasn’t run well.”“We have to talk about this because we've got to fix it,”
TerraPower, a nuclear power venture founded by Bill Gates, announced Tuesday that it has picked a coal-mining town in Wyoming as the site for building a $4 billion demonstration nuclear plant with partial funding from the U.S. government.
TerraPower, along with GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, has picked Kemmerer, a remote western Wyoming town for building the Natrium plant “following an extensive evaluation process and meetings with community members and leaders,” according to a statement on the company’s website. Factors for choosing Kemmerer included physical characteristics, infrastructure, and the ability of the site to obtain a license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Merrick Garland Must Go

A new memo shows that Attorney General Merrick Garland lied to Congress about the FBI snooping on parent groups upset with local school boards for their use of Critical Race Theory in the classroom. If so, it doesn’t warrant a slap on the hand, but swift removal from office.
Presidents deserve to have the people they nominate serve their entire term. But that’s not the case when that person lies under oath to Congress and, by extension, the American people. That’s a criminal offense.
This allegation comes from an official letter sent to the Justice Department by Rep. Jim Jordan,
Vice President Kamala Harris blamed the Trump administration for the 'broken' immigration system that saw a record 128 percent rise in migrant crossings in October compared to the same time last year.
Citing the recorder number of unlawful border crossers, ABC's George Stephanapoulos asked Harris, the president's point person on root causes of immigration: 'What are you doing to turn that around? How long will it take?' 'It's not going to be over night,' the vice president conceded. 'We can't just flip a switch and make it better.' 'We inherited an immigration system that is deeply broken,' she added.(Snip)Harris added that migrants do not 'want' to leave their home country
The Biden administration has deputized non-profit groups to move illegal migrants across the nation, allowing the charities to put them up in nice hotels and give them instructions on how to avoid capture.(Snip)Gooden told the Fox hosts that the two big charities running this operation are Catholic Charities, and the Jewish Family Association.(Snip)...both charities receive funding from deep-pocketed private individuals and big corporations like AT&T, Bank of America, and Wells-Fargo, and are working with the state of California.(Snip)...Steve Doocy added that the federal government also funds these charities to help them bring in more illegal immigrants into the United States.CORRECTION*
You really have to listen to David Frum to understand just how melodramatic the Never Trumper became on CNN's New Day this morning in appealing to Americans to fight back against the former president. At the 1:15 point in the clip below, his voice filled with emotion, Frum actually cited the prophet Isaiah from the passage (Chapter 6) in which the Lord asks whom shall I send? and Isaiah answers, "send me!" (Video) FRUM: Well, I think, I'm going to turn that question back to the people who are watching you right now. There is a famous passage in the Bible

Given its massive military buildup, penetrations of Taiwanese air space with squadron upon squadron of top of the line fighter jets, continued industrial and military espionage, and island-building in the South China Sea, not to mention that it just built a range on which it can practice targeting US ships, you might think Red China poses the greatest threat to America and her interests abroad
Not so, according to Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby (the same guy that was reticent to admit that dozens of families of American soldiers were stuck in Afghanistan).

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Cuomo Primetime,” HBO host and comedian Bill Maher said that if Donald Trump Jr. engaged in the same behavior as Hunter Biden, it would get constant coverage on MSNBC, but Hunter’s behavior doesn’t get the same coverage because President Joe Biden is a Democrat.While discussing how people perceive former President Donald Trump’s behavior, Maher said, “I mean, if Don Jr. had done what Hunter Biden had done, it would be every night, all night on MSNBC, but the fact that it’s Hunter Biden and Joe’s on the blue team — see, that’s the problem with America, everything is so binary.
