County prosecutor wanted to reduce jail population by not prosecuting certain drug crimes.
Cops keep arresting people because that is their job.

Hating on Hillary! Joe Biden sent family scathing articles about Clinton's declining popularity with black voters, impending investigation over her private email server and top aide's private deals with the UAE, Hunter's emails reveal
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Joe Biden sent family and aides a series of negative articles on Hillary Clinton during her 2016 presidential bid

  • The president has long had barely disguised animus toward Clinton, telling a hedge fund conference. 'I never thought she was a great candidate. I thought I was a great candidate'

  • The first email, sent on October 2, 2015, had the subject line 'Supporters', and contained a link to the political news site Real Clear Politics

  • It republished a Washington Post story from the day before about a dramatic drop in Hillary's polling among black democrat voters

  • 'Non-whites have consistently been more supportive of Hillary Clinton than whites,' the story said

  • Two weeks later Joe sent another email, to Hunter, with the subject 'Mills'.

  • The email contained a link to a Wall Street Journal editorial on Hillary's top aide Cheryl Mills, whowas paid to negotiate a private deal with the United Arab Emirates

Government Corruption
Memos gathered by FBI show pattern of Hunter Biden mixing business affairs with hunger charity
[JustTheNews] With his father's eight-year tenure as Barack Obama's vice president waning, Hunter Biden received a remarkable overture in 2015: One of China's richest businessmen wanted to make a sizable donation to the World Food Program USA (WFP USA), which was led by the VP's son.

WFP USA is a U.S.-based nonprofit dedicated to raising funds and building U.S. support for the World Food Program, the United Nations organization that fights global hunger.

But soon, memos gathered by the FBI show, the charitable discussions evolved into an expanding relationship between Hunter Biden and Chinese energy giant CEFC to include business deals that would eventually reap the Biden family millions of dollars.

"CEFC China is very interested in exploring humanitarian initiatives of mutual interest to the World Food Program USA and discussing investment opportunities with Burnham," an email received and then forwarded by Hunter Biden in October 2015 stated. Burnham was one of the many firms through which Hunter Biden and his partners like Devon Archer scored large investments.

The story of CEFC's dual pitch for charity and business opportunities is documented in emails and memos stored on the notorious laptop Hunter Biden abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop. The device was eventually turned over in December 2019 to the FBI, which is leading an investigation into the taxes, finances and foreign business dealings of the president's son.

The FBI's former intelligence chief said the Chinese overture to Hunter Biden fits the classic pattern of a foreign influence operation, much like was seen with Democratic congressman Eric Swalwell a few years ago.

#2  Now how could he? Joe said it himself. He didn't know anything about Hunter's contacts. Besides, Joe was too busy being a professor at an Ivy League school.

Biden Does It Again — Falsely Claims He Was A 'Full Professor' At Ivy League University
[THEBLUESTATECONSERVATIVE] Another day, another instance of President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. The nincompoop who dumped Afghanistan. The copier doesdn't exist that could reelect him....
making stuff up, and another reason for Americans to be mortified. No, folks, this isn’t some sort of nightmare you’re in, one that you can’t wake up from. This is really happening.

During an appearance yesterday at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical University in Greensboro, Biden gave a speech about the importance of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). As is so often the case with the president, he went off-script again and just totally lied about his past.

We all remember when Biden told us that he had been a truck driver in his youth, only to find out that it was a lie. Then there was that time he said his family had almost died in a house fire, and that was also a load of crap. We can also remember when Biden had to drop out of the 1988 presidential race because of plagiarism and lying about his academic record, wrongfully claiming he had graduated near the top of his class at the University of Delaware when in reality he was in the bottom half.

We’re sure to hear the president’s handlers try to clean up this mess later today. We can bet that Jen Psaki
...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama. A new American success story, under Biden she became spokeswoman for the whole administration, and she was even able to get her sister a job...
or someone else from his communications department will be asked about it, and Psaki or someone else will try to spin this invention as an honest mistake. It wasn’t. Our president is a pathological liar.

The fact is, Joe Biden was given what amounted to a ceremonial position at The University of Pennsylvania in 2017, a title called "Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor." It was one of those cushy jobs that pays a lot.

While he reportedly received a total of $776,527 for the short time he was there, Biden never actually taught a class. In fact, an article in The Daily Pennsylvanian was given the headline, "No one is really sure what Joe Biden will be doing at Penn."

#7  He was a Senator forever and supposedly was elected as president without campaigning, but he'll argue to have been a semi driver and full professor, which he never was. Frankly, any sane person would avoid him at a party or bar.

Trump Endorses J. D. Vance as GOP Candidate in Ohio Senate Race
[NATIONALREVIEW] Former president Trump endorsed GOP candidate J. D. Vance in Ohio’s Senate race on Friday.

Once a vocal critic of Trump during his first presidential bid, Vance declared his support for Trump in 2020 and has since carried his mantle with a populist campaign platform.

A GOP primary poll released Friday showed Vance in second place, at 22.6 percent, to Republican Josh Mandel, at 28.0 percent, according to the Trafalgar Group.

#1  I would have thought President Trump would have joined Senator Cruz in endorsing Josh Mandel, but either would do a fine job representing Ohio in the Senate.
