California Democrat Changes Bill That Would Have Prohibited Christians, Conservatives From Serving in Law Enforcement

/1 Comment/in , /by

California State Assemblymember Ash Kalra eliminated language in his proposed bill AB 655, the California Law Enforcement Accountability Reform Act, that could have banned conservatives and people of faith from law enforcement. The Democratic lawmaker made the change on Friday. . .

“Under the guise of addressing police gangs, the bill at the same time launches an inexplicable, unwarranted, and unprecedented attack on peaceable, conscientious officers who happen to hold conservative political and religious views,” said Pacific Justice Institute Senior Staff Attorney Matthew McReynolds a few weeks ago. “Indeed, this is one of the most undisguised and appalling attempts we have ever seen, in more than 20 years of monitoring such legislation, on the freedom of association and freedom to choose minority viewpoints.”

Now that Kalra’s legislation has garnered national attention, he appears to be changing course. Speaking to KPIX CBS News on Friday, the San Jose assemblymember said, “We have put in amendments to remove the specificity regarding denial of constitutional rights. Because, you do have the First Amendment right to be part of groups that may differ in opinion.”

Nevertheless, Kalra still has not adequately addressed the persisting ambiguity of the claim that “participation in hate group activities, or public expressions of hate, as specified, and as those terms are defined” would “disqualify a person from employment.” The ultimate question remains. What will be defined as a hate group in the far-left stronghold?

Trump To Visit Border During Crisis: ‘They Don’t Know What They’re Doing’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump has been banned or suspended from every major social media platform, but there are reports that he may create his network in the near future. Trump has appeared on Fox News three times in the past week, where much of his indignation has been aimed at President Joe Biden and the current border crisis.

Trump appeared on Fox News’ “Justice with Judge Jeanine” on Saturday night, where the former president berated his successor over the dismantling of his immigration policies.

“Thousands and thousands of people are coming up right now as we speak,” Trump stated. “And you’re going to have millions of people pouring into our country. And it’s going to destroy our country.” . . .

Trump then said that he would visit the U.S. southern border.

“I don’t know what they’re doing. And they don’t know what they’re doing,” Trump said of the Biden administration. “It’s a very, very dangerous situation. I’d love not to be involved. Somebody else is supposed to be doing it.” (Read more from “Trump To Visit Border During Crisis: ‘They Don’t Know What They’re Doing'” HERE)

WATCH: Disturbing Video Shows Police Handcuff Crying 5-Year-Old

/0 Comments/in , /by

Police in Maryland released disturbing bodycam footage that shows officers handcuffing a weeping 5-year-old and calling him a “beast” after placing him in a squad car for not being in school.

The video, released by the Montgomery County Police Department on Friday, was recorded in January 2020 and shows the officers repeatedly berate the small boy as he sobs uncontrollably.

“Does your mama spank you? She’s going to spank you today,” one of the officers tells the boy.

The officers first encounter the child walking around a neighborhood after he allegedly “left school grounds.”

Facial Recognition Vaccine Passports Being Developed

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tech firms funded by the British government are developing facial recognition systems that could be used by private businesses, such as pubs, as coronavirus vaccine passports.

The scheme being developed by the tech companies iProov and Mvine — which have received a £75,000 government grant — would see companies employ software that would cross-reference the face of British patrons to vaccination and coronavirus testing databases before entering their establishment.

The chief executive of iProov, Andrew Bud, told The Times that other vaccine passport systems are ineffective compared to facial recognition technology.

“Whoever is standing on the door of the pub is going to have to scan the certificate, read the name and date of birth, then ask the person for an ID document, check that the name and date of birth on the ID document are the same, squint at the photograph on the ID document and then make sure that the person in front of them is that person,” Mr Bud said, adding: “…that’s not going to happen.”

President Kamala? Veep Bucks Biden Order To Enforce Border Control

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris is dodging a Wednesday request by President Joe Biden to bolster the enforcement of migration laws in Mexico and Latin American countries.

On March 24, in a televised statement, Biden directed Harris to get the Mexican and Central American governments to forcibly block poor migrants moving towards the United States. Biden said: “The Vice President … agreed to lead our diplomatic effort and work with those nations to accept returnees and enhance migration enforcement at their borders — at their borders.” [emphasis added] . . .

On Friday, Symone Sanders, Harris’s press secretary, redefined the request.

“The president asked the vice president to take on the diplomatic effort, with Mexico and countries in the northern triangle to address the root causes of migration,” she said. “There are many reasons that move these folks to make this dangerous journey.”

“This is an amazing dismissal by a vice president of her president in a very public fashion,” said Ken Cuccinelli, who served as deputy homeland security chief under President Donald Trump. “I cannot ever remember seeing this happen before.” (Read more from “President Kamala?

Lisa Murkowski Joins With Democrats for Senate’s First Transgender Confirmation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Alaska’s illegitimate senator, Lisa Murkowski, joined with Democrats on Wednesday in a 52-48 vote to confirm transgender Rachel Levine, Biden’s celebrated-appointee to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Levine was in charge of Pennsylvania’s Health Department before being selected by Biden to be his second-in-charge at DHHS.

Levine’s confirmation hearing had several extraordinary moments. In response to aggressive questioning by Senator Rand Paul, Levine refused to condemn the barbaric mutilation of children’s sex organs. Nor would he criticize allowing three year old children to make decisions regarding their gender. Watch the exchange here:

Note Levine’s scripted, repeated response.

Even after this, Lisa Murkowski still felt it was appropriate to make this very unwell person the nation’s second-most senior health official.

Yet more evidence of who Lisa Murkowski really is and her complete disconnect from the average Alaskan voter.

Pelosi: I Can Seat and Unseat Any Member of Congress…That’s My Right; White House Agrees (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi might as well have declared, “I am the Congress” with her latest remarks about the Iowa House seat that’s become another ‘stop the steal’ story for the 2020 cycle. She pretty much said she has the right to seat or unseat members of the House of Representatives regardless of the election result. The empress has spoken. Also, a tad creepy, huh?

Iowa’s second congressional district race ended with Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks winning by literally a handful of votes. She was certified. She was seated, but her Democratic opponents, Rita Hart, wants the certification overturned (via NPR):

The House Administration Committee is reviewing a challenge brought by defeated Iowa Democrat Rita Hart against freshman Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, who won the race by just six votes.

Attorneys for the two candidates submitted initial legal briefs to the panel on Monday. In a terse 23-page brief, Miller-Meeks’ counsel broadly denied Hart’s claims and said the burden was on Hart to prove that a state-certified election should be overturned.

Psaki Says White House Agrees With Pelosi’s Effort To Steal Iowa House Seat

By The Federalist. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Friday the Biden administration stands by House Democrats’ effort to overturn the results of an Iowa House race. After multiple recounts, the race has already been certified by bipartisan state election officials.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave her blessing to the House Administration Committee taking up failed candidate Rita Hart’s plea to overturn the results of Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District race captured by freshman Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks by six votes.

“Four Republican senators in a letter to corporations are calling the battle for Democrats to take back the seat, an ‘unacceptable attempt to undermine a legitimate Democratic process,’” a reporter pressed during a White House press briefing. “Does the president agree with their assessment?”

“I believe that the process that is outlined by the House of Representatives is what’s being followed here to ensure every vote is counted, so no, he wouldn’t agree with that,” Psaki said. (Read more from “Psaki Says White House Agrees With Pelosi’s Effort To Steal Iowa House Seat” HERE)

‘Cinderella’ Production Canceled Over Concerns the Cast Is Too White

/0 Comments/in , /by

A planned production of Cinderella has been canceled over concerns that the cast was too white.

“It was 98% white,” artistic director Michael Brindisi said of the cast. “That doesn’t work with what we’re saying we’re going to do.”

Chanhassen Dinner Theatres in Minnesota has now decided to scrap the project altogether and will instead turn to producing Footloose in 2022.

“After careful consideration and with our ongoing commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Chanhassen Dinner Theatres has made the decision to cancel our upcoming production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella,” the company said in a statement. “Our hope in beginning the production process again with a new title will allow us to put into practice an intentional process based on the work we have been doing towards equity and inclusivity.”

Brindisi, who originally pointed out the lack of diversity in the cast, said that Chanhassen considered recasting the show. Instead, the company opted to “scrap this and start fresh with a clean slate.” While some of the cast members were disappointed by the decision, Brindisi said they “got it and that they respected the very hard decision we had to make.” (Read more from “‘Cinderella’ Production Canceled Over Concerns the Cast Is Too White” HERE)

Oakland, California, Mayor Libby Schaaf (D) announced a program that offers poor minority families $500 a month. Poor white families are excluded for the sin of being white. However, illegal aliens qualify.

Per the Daily Mail, “An estimated 10,000 of Oakland’s 435,000 population are white residents who live in poverty,” but they will receive nothing, and only because they are white.

Here is how you qualify for Oakland’s no-questions-asked $500 a month:

You must have at least one child

Your income must be at or below 50 percent of Oakland’s median income

You must not be white

Senator Introduces Bill To Keep Critical Race Theory Out of Military

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on Thursday introduced legislation that would keep critical race theory specifically, and broad “anti-American” ideas such as the claim that American “is a fundamentally racist country” out of the military.

Christopher Rufo reported at City Journal that Cotton’s bill is based on the premise that the military should encourage members to “love the United States,” defend the “founding principles of the United States,” and treat everyone as “human beings with equal dignity and protection under the law.” Critical race theory, Cotton’s bill insists, rejects these premises with its notions that America is irredeemably racist and stoking racial division.

“Our military’s strength depends on the unity of our troops and the knowledge that America is a noble nation worth fighting for,” Cotton said of the bill, according to Fox News. “Critical race theory teaches that race is a person’s most important characteristic, and that America is an evil, oppresive place. That idea may be fashionable in left-wing circles and college classrooms, but it has no place in our military. Not only will such racist ideas undermine our troops’ faith in each other, they’ll also erode their trust in our country’s guiding principles. The United States military shouldn’t be promoting such divisive, un-American ideas.”

More from Fox:

The legislation would specifically ban ideas like the U.S. “is a fundamentally racist country” or that “[a]n individual, by virtue of his or her race, is inherently racist or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously.” The text also provided that the bill shouldn’t be construed to restrict free speech or prevent service members from accessing materials that advocate those types of theories.
