[FoxNews] Officials said bail reform and the dismissal of criminal cases have fueled the ongoing crime wave
Houston-area law enforcement officials voiced frustration toward Harris County judges this week for dismissing a large number of criminal cases amid an ongoing crime surge in the region, saying criminals are feeling emboldened by lax penalties for violent offenders.
Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman said he was notified several months ago by District Attorney Kim Ogg
...gay, grew up a Houston Democrat, became Republican, then switched back to become Texas’s first George Soros-backed DA...
that judges and magistrates had slated thousands of cases for dismissal. Her prosecutors were left with no choice but to dismiss the cases, he said.
[FoxNews] DHS and local law enforcement beef up personnel to counter vaccine mandate trucking protests on Super Bowl Sunday
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had deployed 500 employees and is "surging additional staff" in coordination with California police forces to prevent disruptions at the Super Bowl in response to an international trucking protest.
The press secretary’s comments came just moments after President Biden spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regarding a two-week trucking protest that has disrupted transportation routes and supply chains between the U.S. and Canada.
Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa, where truck drivers are advocating for an end to the government's coronavirus vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers, are expected to take off in numerous U.S. cities, including Los Angeles.
DHS warned U.S. law enforcement and public safety officials this week that a trucker convoy protesting vaccine mandates could begin Feb. 13, the same day as Super Bowl LVI, and could create significant traffic jams and supply disruptions.
Psaki said DHS forces are working with California Highway Patrol, the Los Angeles Police Department, state and local authorities, as well as "extensive air and maritime security resources" to counter these protests.
"We certainly believe in peaceful protests," Psaki told reporters. But, she added, "Whatever their intended stated purpose, this effort … has the potential to have a huge impact on workers and the American public."

LA and Chicago would be tough to shut down but SF, NY, Seattle and Portland would be easy pickings for well-organized Freedom Convoys. Maybe Boston and Minneapolis as well.

Amazing how quickly and forcefully the Biden and Liberal State agencies can move against protesters when the protests are challenging their agenda.
Think of the 100's of $$$Billions in destroyed & stolen private property and 10's of 1000's of innocent civilian physical injuries that could have been saved or avoided during the riots and lootings. If they had acted in the same aggressive way.
But!!! remember the NFL did "Take A Knee" to help get their WOKE / BLM / ANTI-FA violent agendas started.

At some 10 thousand for a shit seat who gives a fuck. Its like a film actors guild trophy ceremony for those who made out like bandits the last couple years.

What NN2N1 said. BLM and Antifa were the Brown Shirts of the Dem Party. Squishy RINOs abetted that clown show that rampaged across the country. Now the DHS decides the soccer moms, truck drivers, parents are terrorists. Give me a f*&^ing break.

Boriquagato's priceless today on our Ruling Morons. Here he is on Michigan's reigning hypocrite Gov. Whitless:
portraits in cluelessness
watch as leader after leader struggles in the face of reality outside the hallucination
...we travel next to everyone’s favorite creepy replicant governor, gretchen “the uncanny valley” whitmer who last made an actual human facial expression some time during the clinton administration.
now, gretchen is a more sophisticated operator than michelle. she’s not going to make a rookie mistake like “letting the proles talk too.”
gretchen has come not to talk with us but to talk at us.
but it sure does not help turn this one into a good look.
“it’s against the law! it’s hurting the economy! it’s hurting our people! it’s an illegal blockade! it’s costing hundred of millions of dollars a day!”
see, now this is quite an interesting line of argument from the chief architect of one of the more restrictive (and likely illegal) state lockdowns in the nation.
how much damage did your “blockade” cause to lives and livelihoods and educations and to medical care? how many $10’s or $100’s of billions were lost when you barred entry to and shuttered restaurants and bars and gyms and theaters and made everyone work from home in their jam-jams?
how many times did you hector the unvaxxed and champion making their lives unbearable, removing them from employment and from society until they complied?
sorry, but getting upset about a non-violent version of the same tactic being used in return as an attempt to stop the serving of the very meal you have so interminably dished out does not sound like much in the way of moral high ground....

Was that because of something Bill did? Ewwww!

Funny, I seem to recall a (truly) violent takeover of a downtown sector of a North American city in 2020... and the police not only did not break it up, they actually prepared to hand over control to the violent anarchists.
The Seattle mayor's deliberations with her staff have finally been made public (though the mayor's emails and text messages discussing the plan to hand over control have mysteriously disappeared):
From Jan 17 but still relevant for the upcoming midterms.
[Emerald Robinson at Substack] The ballot transfer forms really tell the story of election cheating in 2020.
President Trump’s spokeswoman Liz Harrington released a thread on Twitter that catalogs the election "anomalies" being uncovered in Georgia — "anomalies" being the corporate media’s favorite euphemism for cheating.
For instance, drop boxes for ballots in Rockdale County were picked up after the 2020 election was over.
Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (supposedly a Republican) did not care to help investigate this matter. That’s no surprise since Raffensperger’s office accepted nearly $5.6 million from a group directly linked to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
More than 300,000 ballot transfer forms were missing, and more than 100,000 ballot transfer forms were incomplete or improper.
Remember: the GOP establishment and the Democrats conspired to get rid of Trump and throw the 2020 election to Biden. However, Trump is not on the 2022 ballot — which is why Raffensperger is suddenly interested in investigating Fulton County (a Democrat stronghold) for allegedly violating state rules "requiring absentee ballot drop box transfer forms to be filled out." After all, neither Raffensperger nor the GOP want the Democrats to continue to cheat in the 2022 mid-terms in the same way that they were allowed to do in 2020.
Notice the timing. Raffensperger was colluding with Zuckerberg and the Democrats before the 2020 election but now he’s suing Biden’s Department of Justice because he suddenly needs to defend secure election laws before the 2022 election.
Sen. Ted Cruz on Wednesday criticized his Republican colleagues who have called the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot an "insurrection," a day after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell described the attack as a "violent insurrection."
"I think it is a mistake for Republicans to repeat the political propaganda of Democrats and the corporate media," the Texas Republican told CNN’s Ted Barrett.
The senator also pushed back on the phrase "armed insurrection" being used by Republican leadership to describe the attack, CBS News’ Scott MacFarlane said. ass hats PR dancing

The insurrection culminated on Nov. 3rd. It was planned and ongoing for more than 4 years.
The liberals understand that. We have some liberal Dem friends in the neighborhood who actually said they supported the coup.
