Republicans subpoena FBI file allegedly detailing how Biden sold US policy for cash as part of 'criminal scheme' involving foreign national - TheBlaze

The Biden Department of Justice and the FBI are reportedly in possession of a document that details a possible "criminal scheme" involving then-Vice President Joe Biden's collusion with a foreign national. According to a reportedly reputable whistleblower, the document in question allegedly provides specific details about how Biden did the bidding of a foreign national, delivering requested policy decisions in exchange for cash.

Similar abortion/marijuana/"cite-and-release" combo-scams coming to most US cities soon?-----San Antonio Prop A campaign centers on crime, abortion - Axios San Antonio

San Antonio Prop A campaign centers on crime, abortion - Axios San Antonio

Catch up fast: Proposition A would amend the city charter to:

  • Prevent officers from investigating abortions. (Illegal in TX)
  • Halt citations and arrests for low-level marijuana possession. (Illegal in TX)
  • Ban police chokeholds and no-knock warrants.
  • Expand the city's cite-and-release policy to direct officers to cite, not arrest, people for certain nonviolent misdemeanor offenses, including some theft offenses.
  • Create a justice director position for the city, a person who hasn't worked in law enforcement and would oversee criminal justice policies...

The other side: The police union and local business leaders oppose the measure. They have focused on the cite-and-release expansion, not the abortion component, saying it will increase crime by emboldening people who won't be arrested.

  • The cite-and-release expansion includes theft under $750 and graffiti damages less than $2,500. Opponents say small businesses would be the victims.

Zoom out: Proposition A opposition taps into voters' crime fears. It's a similar strategy that candidates used in the Chicago mayoral race this year.

Konnech withdraws defamation lawsuit against watchdog group that accused it of subverting US elections with Chinese communists - TheBlaze

An election software company based in Michigan sued an election integrity watchdog group and its leaders last year for defamation over claims it had conspired with the Chinese Communist Party and subverted American elections. After months of denial and litigation, the company has withdrawn it suit.

"Another act to subdue an aggressive mentally ill man leads to another George Floyd media-leftist whitewash of the perpetrator and this time, I think it will not work.

Don Surber says it well:

“Democrats turned subways into hell and now give good citizens the choice between being the victim of a lunatic who kills them or a lunatic justice system that punishes anyone who stands up to the psychos.

"It’s called anarcho-tyranny.“

Let’s review the comparison. Jordan Neely had a long criminal record -- 42 arrests. He threatened passengers who made several 911 calls without a response. His record showed he was increasingly capable of violence...

...Maybe the people who are failing their duties to the homeless and mentally ill are the ones who deserve to be in the dock, not those acting to defend themselves and others.

Expect to see a "tax credit" for these moron buyers?

Leftists lambasted for rushing to rule death of NYC career criminal put in choke hold by former Marine a 'murder' - TheBlaze

Radical leftists immediately rushed to impose a racial framework on the incident, retroactively canonize the career criminal, and rule Neely's death a murder. Conservatives and other commentators have suggested that the immediate demonization of the young former Marine is precisely the kind of knee-jerk mob response that has precluded capable citizens from intervening to protect their ailing Democrat-run cities from crime and violence.

Frightening tale!-----Real Estate Investor Reveals Secret to Removing Florida Squatters Without Facing Expensive Legal Battles

Real Estate Investor Reveals Secret to Removing Florida Squatters Without Facing Expensive Legal Battles -  by Tony Gray
"...Sam’s rental house was under contract for sale, but was vacant while he awaited permits to replace the roof. 
When visiting the house, he started to investigate after noticing the locks were upside down.
“Obviously, they were changed, all the locks that we put on are put on properly,” he said. 
“So right away I realized that, okay, somebody has broken into this home and is probably hanging out there, so I called the police.”
Sam entered the home through the back door, noticing the squatters were not present, and took out all of their belongings and changed the locks.
However, once the squatters returned home, Sam said they confronted him both verbally and physically.
“They started pushing us around, me and my workers and screaming, yelling,” he said. 
“I have no idea who these people are, and I realize that obviously these must be the people squatting.”
Once police arrived, one of the squatters produced a false lease from her pocket.
She knew what to say to the officers,” Sam said. 
“The fact that she was carrying her lease with her meant to me that she already knew what was going to happen and knew that this is my ticket.”
It worked. 
Sam was told he had to turn the utilities on for the squatters and hand over the key to his house until the issue was resolved in court...

"...Our new class of monster reductionists, who get all their prestige and money from delimiting the lives of others, have been living under a tsunami of threat ever since Trump and Brexit, or as it is known, “the worst decisions ever made”.

AFRICA - After the “Palefaces” - Hannes Wessels
"If you have a heart in Africa it’s probably not a good idea to read Martin Meredith’s State of Africa because if you do, it will, in all likelihood, break it. 
  • In it, he covers, in gory detail, what has happened on the continent in the postcolonial era, and while it’s riveting, it is also deeply disturbing.
"Today, the overwhelming view is that colonialism was, at best, an awful mistake; at worst it was a crime against humanity, and those involved, and those who allegedly benefited, should be held accountable in some shape or form.
The recent book Colonialism; A Moral Reckoning by Nigel Biggar, who is Regius Professor Emeritus of Moral Theology at the University of Oxford, provides a balanced and thoroughly researched account of this period that has triggered widespread outrage amongst those (and they are probably the majority) who believe the actions of the European imperialists were mostly malevolent and are simply indefensible. 
Leading the pack is the usual array of writers, politicians, and academics who seldom miss an opportunity to denigrate what is known as “Western civilization” and its origins. 
They have leaped aboard the bandwagon to lambaste Biggar with alacrity...
