”If the voters don’t like my principles, I have plenty of others.”
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Vice President Kamala Harris appeared surprised Tuesday after she learned that a special variety of marijuana had been named after her, even as she has a record of sending marijuana smokers to jail. Late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel revealed the details to the vice president of the strain of marijuana named 'Kamala Kush.'
Kimmel said he was surprised that the developers of the strain had not sent her a sample, but Harris said she was not interested.
Harris repeated her new-found position that marijuana users should not be prosecuted and sent to jail. However, as a District Attorney in San Francisco, Harris prosecuted more than 1,900 marijuana convictions.
Harris has since endorsed legalizing marijuana despite opposing a 2010 California ballot measure that would legalize recreational use of the drug for adults.
During her interview with Kimmel, Harris denounced previous efforts to stop people from using marijuana.
'There was a time people would say, marijuana is a gateway drug,' Harris continued. 'These are failed policies, right?'
Harris said the resources used by law enforcement to enforce marijuana laws should be redirected toward counseling.

Her claim to fame was denying defendants access to exculpatory DNA evidence. Always struck me as funny that in the year of #MeToo and Defund the Police we supposedly elected a serial groper snd a dirty cop.

[FoxNews] Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., proposed slashing budgets regarding public safety, such as prisons and law enforcement, as the state simultaneously grapples with a crippling deficit and doubles down on climate goals relating to equity.
The California Democrat's proposed budget, released in May, notes that "difficult decisions" are necessary to address the estimated $27.6 billion deficit, which is projected to continue for years to come. It includes a $97 million cut to trial court operations, $10 million to the Department of Justice's Division of Law Enforcement and more than $80 million to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
A Newsom spokesperson initially told Fox News Digital that there were "no cuts to law enforcement."
"The budget proposes numerous ways to make government more efficient and reduce costs for taxpayers, including cuts on inmate spending. Since Governor Newsom took office in 2019, the state has made record investments in law enforcement, including $1.1 billion to tackle crime, support police, and hold criminals accountable," the spokesperson said.
It sounds like they’re throwing the spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks.

He says this after squandering $24 billion on efforts to house the homeless that have not reduced the homeless population but only made some of his friends in the homeless industry rich.

Here's an idea: Put that money into the prison system and house the homeless there.

[PJ] Though it's been less than a week since the Trump verdict, Karma has begun playing pick-a-boo with the Marxists still taking victory laps on Facebook.
It appears the commies once again thought they had Trump on the ropes over the obvious-to-anyone-who-isn't-a-pinko Stormy Daniels bookkeeping case that was never a case.
Stalinistas celebrate every time they think they have Trump trapped, and, like Charlie Brown and Lucy's football, they always end up landing on their thong-saddled, non-binary bahookies, wondering what happened.
Let's pour a bourbon and have a laugh at the purple-haired dunderbutts who, yet again, thought they had finally taken down the greatest president since Ronald Reagan.
1. By now you've heard that the Trump donation site crashed as patriotic Americans, 29.7% of whom were first-time donors, bombarded Trump with over $50 million in about 24 hours after the guilty verdicts, and a grand total of $200 million for the month of May.
As a former liberal, I can assure you that the angry, progressive quislings pooped their crocks when they saw how real Americans responded to the Soviet show trials in New York City Moscow on the Hudson.
2. A poll just out of my home state of Michigan revealed, much to the pain of the wailing, sissy-Mary sitzpinklers on the left, that the 34 guilty verdicts did not hurt Trump but, as America's favorite commie-hating, radio talk show host/ PJ Media pundit/bourbon-drinking comedian pointed out, likely helped him.
[ZERO] With former President Donald Trump facing the possibility of being sentenced to prison just days before the Republican National Convention, GOP officials are formulating backup plans in case the former president isn’t able to receive the Republican party’s presidential nomination in person.
"We'll be thinking about it, and we’re working on that right now," RNC Chair Michael Whatley told Newsmax in an interview on June 4, when asked whether the Republican Party is preparing for the possibility that the former president can’t attend the convention because he’s behind bars.
The convention, which will take place in Milwaukee on July 15-18, is expected to draw thousands, but President Trump might not be one of them, given his recent felony conviction and the possibility that, on July 11, Justice Juan Merchan could sentence him to prison.
President Trump was recently found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records to hide non-disclosure payments, supposedly to prevent bad press and sway the 2016 election in his favor. He maintains his innocence and says he’s the victim of a vindictive political prosecution meant to derail his 2024 comeback bid.
Justice Merchan could sentence President Trump for up to four years on each business records falsification count, with a maximum of 20 years.
The former president said in a June 2 interview on Fox News that he could handle being jailed or imprisoned while calling the people involved in his conviction as "sick" and "evil."
Trump Nominee No Matter What
The former president and his attorneys have vowed to appeal the conviction, with President Trump even calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to step in before the sentencing date and overturn the guilty verdict.
While a former Manhattan district attorney predicted that President Trump would receive no prison time regardless of any appeals process, GOP officials say they'll be ready to handle whatever scenario presents itself at the convention.

Wrap it up folks, your convicted felon will never be president again!
Nominate someone sane.
Not all Trump supporters are far right antisemites, but if you're a far right antisemite, you vote Trump.

*shrug* And if you’re a far left Jew-hater, you vote for Joe Biden.
The rest of us make our choices for other reasons.

The deep state back office plan is probably a Dem and Rino GOP agreement to get both Biden and Trump off the November Ballot. Unfortunately for America that means trading the best President in the last 40 years to be jailed with the worst President in the history of America to be retired.

I don't know who you are Cromonter Spawn of the Faeries8, but first it was Geert Wilders who was the anti-Semite, and now it is Donald Trump. What next, Argentina, El Salvador, Hungary?
[NYPOST] Longtime Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) defeated an anti-Israel New Jersey mayor in the Garden State’s 9th Congressional District Democratic primary Tuesday, a race that centered on divisions over the Israel-Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... war.
Pascrell, 87, beat Prospect Park Mayor Mohammed Khairullah for the Democratic nomination for Congress by a whopping 54-point margin, receiving 77% of the vote with more than three-quarters of ballots in.
The 14-term House member — first elected to Congress in 1996 — has been a staunch supporter of Israel, declaring last December that Israelis "have every right to protect themselves and defend themselves" in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on the Jewish state.
