Speeding Florida pol Beverly Perkins under fire after telling cop to 'find something better to f—king do'
[NYPost] A Florida vice mayor is facing calls to apologize after she snapped at local cops who pulled her over at a traffic stop to "find something better to f—king do."

Pompano Beach Vice Mayor Beverly Perkins was seen in footage posted to YouTube last week being pulled over in a white Audi in April.

An unidentified officer tells her that she was driving 15 to 20 miles over the speed limit in two separate zones before he pulled her over. After running her license, the officer opts not to ticket the official and approaches her vehicle.

"Ms. Perkins, you need to slow down, okay?" he said before giving her a warning.

Visibly annoyed, Perkins does not respond to the officer’s admonition.

"Did you hear what I said?" he asks several times before Perkins nods and begins to put on her seatbelt.

As the cop begins to depart, she asks for his name and then states her vice mayoral position.

"Y’all need to find something better to f—king to do," Perkins says as she drives off.

After the footage surfaced, Scott Mosely, the president of the Fort Lauderdale Fraternal Order of Police, issued a statement on the incident Friday.

"We suggest you apologize and then sign up for some ride alongs to see what [officers] do every day to protect the citizens of our great city," he wrote. "As an elected official, you too are held to a higher standard and should know better. We suggest you obey the speed limit and seek anger management."

Local 10 reported that Perkins was not available for comment on the exchange.

Biden gets date of Parkland massacre wrong by 100 YEARS and claims it was in 1918 moments after having victim's father kicked out of his gun law celebration

#2  The real lesson of the outburst is that nothing is ever enough for the gun grabber crowd. Every step is just one more step down the road to total disarmament of the civilian population. There is no "compromising" with them. It's time for Republicans to figure that out.

I'm not holding my breath.

Government Corruption
Biden punishes (innocent) border-patrol agents — but does nothing about illegal migrants
[NYPOST] Only in America, it seems, can border-patrol agents be cleared of breaking any laws but still be punished, while those entering the country illegally mostly escape punishment.

President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. S I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass....
, then-press secretary Jen Psaki
...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama...
and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas all rushed to judgment when they saw a video of Texas Border Patrol agents last September herding Haitians attempting to enter the country without authorization. Biden had threatened the agents, saying they would "pay" for their actions.

They have paid in lost time on the job, the smearing of their character and probably an end to their careers. It is the administration that should pay. One hopes the agents will find a lawyer who sues them for slander.

In a 511-page report (only the government requires so many words to explain the obvious), Customs and Border Protection said the agents did not whip the migrants colonists but added they are still guilty of "unprofessional conduct," including using "unnecessary force on Haitians."

Apparently, some of the agents used bad language while trying to turn the people back. Shocking, I know. Were they supposed to say: "Would you pretty please turn around and go back to your country?"

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has joined other Republicans in calling on Biden and others to apologize to the four agents they falsely accused. Good luck with that. Being a high government official means never having to say you’re sorry. Paxton said instead of being punished, the agents "should be rewarded."

SJC of MA Makes Mail-In Voting Permanent
[Via Universal Hub] - Here's the summary of events - mail-in voting was made permanent in Mass. on June 22, 2022, with RINO Gov. Charlie Baker signing the bill. The MA Republican Party sued the next day and today the Supreme Judicial Court told them to get bent. A 'full opinion' on this case will be released at a later date. Current court decision is at the link.

#1  As soon as I posted this one, I heard that Mass. GOP head Jim Lyons will take this to SCOTUS.

#2  Interesting times, Raj. Here’s hoping they’ll hear the case.
Posted by: trailing wife || 07/12/2022 1:13 Comments || Top||

#3  Probably not. The key to the Trump appeals is that the Constitution is explicit that the legislative branch determines the method of voting not the governors, attorney generals, or judiciary. In this case, it is the legislative branch.

How Tim Ryan Spends His Time in DC
[FreeBeacon] The last bill that Ryan sponsored that was signed into law was in January 2021. That law renamed a Department of Veterans Affairs outpatient clinic. Before then, Ryan had not seen any of his bills signed into law since 2014.

Rep. Tim Ryan (D., Ohio) calls himself a "relentless advocate for Ohio’s working families," but his nearly two-decade stretch in Washington, D.C., has resulted in passing just four bills, according to a Washington Free Beacon review of his sponsored legislation.

Of those laws, three of them were to rename federal buildings, including a post office in Tallmadge, Ohio. The fourth bill transferred the ownership of a Ravenna, Ohio, building from the federal government to the Ohio government.

Ryan, who is running for Ohio’s open Senate seat in November, first entered Congress in 2003 after serving a half term in the Ohio Senate. He claims on his campaign website that he has spent his time in Washington, D.C., working on, among other things, bipartisan legislation to solve the opioid crisis, strengthen entitlements, and bring jobs back from overseas. "Tim has spent his career fighting for Ohio workers," Ryan’s campaign website reads.

But none of that rhetoric has translated into bills signed into law and raises questions about Ryan’s central campaign pitch: That he’s a bipartisan dealmaker looking to overcome partisan divides. Generally, incumbents try to sell voters on their record. In Ryan’s case, he speaks about what is possible if Democrats maintain control of the Senate—rather than what he has accomplished.

"So we have to invest into our people. Into child care. Into our families. Into our kids. Into shop class," Ryan said at a recent campaign stop. "Into building resiliency for our kids, so that they have the grit and the determination to go out in this world that's crazy as can be."

Jill Biden Tells Texas Hispanics They Are as ‘Unique as the Breakfast Tacos' During Speech in San Antonio
Tin ear.
[Mediaite] First Lady Jill Biden told a group of progressive Texas Hispanic voters they were as "unique" as "breakfast tacos" during a speech Monday in San Antonio.

Biden addressed a crowd assembled for the UnidosUS Annual Conference, which began on Saturday.

According to video of her remarks obtained by Jorge Bonilla of the the conservative Media Research Center, she compared attendees to breakfast tacos.

She also mispronounced the word "bodega" when she said "bogeda."

"[Raul Yzaguirre] helped build this organization with the understanding that the diversity of this community, as distinct as the bogedas of The Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio, is your strength," Biden said.



KENS reported the annual conference was titled "Siempre Adelante: Our Quest for Equity." The outlet noted:

The event is the largest gathering of Latino advocates, community members and businesses. They talk about the issues that are affecting the more than 62 million Latinos across the country.

During the conference today, UnidosUS will release a report called Latino student success: advancing U.S. educational progress for all. It explores the progress of Latino students over several decades and the impact the pandemic had on education.

"Each year the UnidosUS Annual Conference is the premier event devoted to the diverse Hispanic community that is moving our country forward," the conference notes on its website.

Is the NYTimes Leading a Dump Biden Campaign
[Breitbart] Here’s the Times’ brutal framing:

Just a year and a half into his first term, Mr. Biden is already more than a year older than Ronald Reagan was at the end of two terms. If he mounts another campaign in 2024, Mr. Biden would be asking the country to elect a leader who would be 86 at the end of his tenure, testing the outer boundaries of age and the presidency. Polls show many Americans consider Mr. Biden too old, and some Democratic strategists do not think he should run again.

...

He often shuffles when he walks, and aides worry he will trip on a wire. He stumbles over words during public events, and they hold their breath to see if he makes it to the end without a gaffe....

The Times wants Biden out of office. They want him gone. Period. His age, dementia, failures, jaw-dropping incompetence, and growing unpopularity...

#1  NYT is just the communication arm of the folks running the country in to the ground. The people who leaked Hunters hacked phone and laptop data might be part of the campaign to oust Biden as well. Interesting timing of events.

#2  It's gonna take a tour bus out to Ft. Marcy Park or a Ron Brown Memorial Plane Ride™ to quiet enough people to make "dump Biden" a frictionless process.

#3  As I just commented in another post; this is simply more evidence that the White House and Biden administration is a collection of 'B Movie' actors performing on a very expensive Pinewood Studios set. The actual decision making and the running of the country is conducted elsewhere.

It's a very bad cover story, getting terrible reviews and approval ratings. Whomever is in charge is well aware that it must soon be replaced.

And yes, as Airandee has indicated, the NYT is indeed a 'communication arm' of the deep state.

#7  Obumble really screwed the demoncrat party when he was president. He didn't want anyone that could take away his limelight and didn't allow the young up and commers to come up. As a result, there is zero depth on the demoncrats bench. Who do that have that lights the fires of the party? Buttboy? Fatty-Adams? More like fat chance.

took office looking to reshape U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, putting a premium on promoting democracy and human rights
