Op-Ed by Paul Plante

I would like to begin this thread on the political overthrow of American president Donald J. Trump with a link to a video of Joe Biden, now the president, delivering on 31 August 2020 what I consider to be the most toxic and divisive political speech in a presidential race I have ever heard in this country in over seventy years on the globe as an American citizen, and I would ask you to watch just the first 1:23 minutes, watching Joe and listening to his actual words, to wit:

And before people start freaking out and screeching and moaning about some “tin-hat” conspiracy theory, the word “overthrow” when used as a noun, as I am using it, means “a removal from power; a defeat or downfall,” which is exactly what happened to Trump just months after Joe Biden made that highly toxic political speech, which I will further aver is the direct cause of the violence at the Capitol on 6 January 2021, because Joe provoked that violence with that 31 August 2020 speech, this just seventeen (17) days before Joe was quoted making more highly provocative statements intended to provoke violence in a Daily Wire story entitled “Joe Biden Calls Trump Supporters ‘Virulent People,’ The ‘Dregs Of Society'” by Joseph Curl on September 17, 2018, where we had this hate spew from the DIVIDER, Joe Biden, to wit:

Joe Biden just had his “deplorables” moment.

end quotes

That of course is a reference to divisive and provocative comments made by Hillary Clinton during the 2016 campaign when she called “half” of Trump’s supporters “deplorables,” to wit:

“To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,” Clinton said in September 2016.

“Right?”

“Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it.”

end quotes

Provocative fighting words, people, intended to provoke violence, and provoke they did on 6 January 2021, as not only the nation, but the world, watched the backlash from those fighting words erupt in Washington, D.C., when Hillary Clinton’s Electoral College vote for Joe Biden was about to be challenged, and then, never was.

Getting back to Joe on 17 September 2020, the Daily Wire article continues, as follows:

Biden, who says he’ll decided in January whether to run for president in 2020 but who is making all the moves of a presidential candidate, used a pro-LGBT Human Rights Campaign annual dinner on Saturday to rip President Trump.

And in so doing, Biden had a moment reminiscent of Hillary Clinton, when she called Trump supporters “deplorables.”

Biden did his old act, starting off soft and avuncular before booming through his power points, punching the air and flailing about.

end quotes

Which thought takes us to this video of another world leader booming through his power points, punching the air and flailing about, and watch this one without the sound on, to wit:

end quotes

As history has proven twice now, that truly is a very effective, attention-getting style, which is why Joe employs it, it having already been time-tested and proven effective as a political tool for someone bent of the overthrow of his political opponents, as Joe Biden was clearly intent on the overthrow of Donald J Trump in his toxic speech to the nation and world on 31 August 2020 in the video above, which takes us back again to 17 September 2020, to wit:

“Despite losing in the courts, and in the court of opinion, these forces of intolerance remain determined to undermine and roll back the progress you all have made,” he said.

“This time they — not you — have an ally in the White House.”

“This time they have an ally.”

“They’re a small percentage of the American people — virulent people, some of them the dregs of society.”

“And instead of using the full might of the executive branch to secure justice, dignity, safety for all, the president uses the White House as the literal — literal — bully pulpit, callously — callously — exerting his power over those who have little or none.”

Biden got himself lathered up into a full froth as he waxed poetic about his and “Barack’s” thoughts on Trump.

“Barack and I agreed to remain silent for a while to give this administration the chance to get up and running in the first year,” Biden said.

“God forgive me,” he added, making the sign of the cross as the audience applauded.

“Those who try to excuse this kind of prejudice in the name of culture, I say, ‘Prejudice is prejudice and humanity is humanity — it is a crime,'” Biden said, urging those in the room to continue to oppose Trump.

“Our work is not yet done by any stretch of the imagination.”

“The stakes are much too high.”

And then he went even further.

“This is deadly earnest, we are in a fight for America’s soul,” Biden said.

end quotes

And since it was really a FIGHT FOR AMERICA’S SOUL, as opposed to a mere presidential election, it became necessary for Joe Biden to pull out all the stops and crank up his well-oiled political machine to overthrow the evil regime of Donald J. Trump, no matter what it took, because people, it was a fight to the finish that only one man could walk away after, and that man going to be Joe Biden, no matter what it took, because when the SOUL OF AMERICA was what was at stake, it was the right thing to do.

And the violence Joe Biden provoked on 6 January 2021 with his hate-filled rhetoric one hundred twenty-eight (128) earlier on 31 August 2020 was icing on the cake for Joe and the Democrats, which bring us to this House Resolution that never could have been but for Joe Biden provoking that violence, to wit:

H.Res.503 – Establishing the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

117th Congress (2021-2022)

Sponsor: Rep. Pelosi, Nancy [D-CA-12] (Introduced 06/28/2021)

In the House of Representatives, U. S., June 30, 2021.

Whereas January 6, 2021, was one of the darkest days of our democracy, during which insurrectionists attempted to impede Congress’s Constitutional mandate to validate the presidential election and launched an assault on the United States Capitol Complex that resulted in multiple deaths, physical harm to over 140 members of law enforcement, and terror and trauma among staff, institutional employees, press, and Members;

Whereas, on January 27, 2021, the Department of Homeland Security issued a National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin that due to the “heightened threat environment across the United States,” in which “[S]ome ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence.”

SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT.

There is hereby established the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol (hereinafter referred to as the “Select Committee”).

end quotes

Enter the WITCH HUNTERS, people, and see just how slick a political operation this really was?

Provoke violence and then blame it on your opponent!

Why?

Because it works, quite well, actually!

Just ask Joe Biden – he’ll tell you its so!

Opinion: The following text was submitted by Stuart Oliver, a portion of his comments from the last Eastville Town Council Meeting.

Good afternoon, at the last town meeting Mr. Stubbs accused me of being a member of the defund the police movement or something of that nature. I was not being critical of the honest, hardworking members of an underappreciated profession… I was referring to the management of the Eastville Police Department. I find it a tad disingenuous that the second in command of a five-member force, getting paid more than the Sheriff of Northampton, is offended by a peon questioning his compensation.

I have obtained Calls For Service records from the Sheriff’s department relevant to the Incorporated Town of Eastville. Between January 2018 and August of 2021. The Sheriff’s Department answered 88% of Eastville’s calls between the hours of 10pm and 7am. The dangerous times when drunk drivers, domestic disputes, and break-ins are likely to occur.

There are few speeding tickets to profit from at these hours, so Mr.Eder and Mr.Stubbs are glad to let The Sheriff’s department handle their trash. On February 8th 2019 a young woman tragically hanged herself by the parking lot at Yuks. This is the same year Mr. Stubbs made $43,775 in overtime. No Eastville officers were available. They had to be called in.

Less than a year ago, an armed individual attempted to enter Yuks, and also attempted to enter an occupied private residence adjacent to Yuks. No Eastville officers were available. On January 22nd of this year, the motorcycle gang shooting started at this same location at about 10 pm. No Eastville Police were present. The shooting itself occurred approximately 125 yards away from the Eastville police station. No Eastville police were present. The Sheriff’s department had to respond. It took about 30 minutes to even locate Mr.Stubbs.

The Town of Eastville annexed Yuks to profit on food and beverage tax yet provides almost nothing in police service.

On the night of January 14, 2019, the same year Mr. Stubbs made $43K in overtime, one of my cars was totaled in my front yard in a felony hit and run incident approximately 250 yards from the Eastville police station. If I were to commit a serious crime I would do it on the steps of the Eastville police department at midnight… I would never be caught.

The Eastville police are extremely proud of their new rifles. They like to show them off to other cops. I filed a FOIA request to obtain the cost and models of these weapons. I was denied this request with the town citing a strained interpretation of a FOIA exemption. This is rubbish. I filed FOIA requests for weapon inventories from The Sheriff’s department, Exmore, and Cape Charles, and received complete, unredacted, reports from all… very modest expenditures.

But Eastville doesn’t want you to know what they paid for their rifles… it’s OK… other cops filled me in. You have suppressed, gas piston-operated, Sig Sauer assault rifles with high-end optics of SWAT team quality. Far exceeding the price that the Sheriff’s department uses. The suppressors alone cost more than the other departments’ rifles. It is worth noting that in the event of a school shooting Eastville will only play a supporting role. These high-dollar rifles will be used instead as protection from the speeding, sunburned, soccer moms heading home from the Outer Banks.

 I was able to observe the removal of the Confederate Monument the other day. Two county cops had Courthouse road blocked. What a perfect job for the Eastville town police. They were out on route 13, leaving the dirty work to the sheriff’s office.

It is worth noting that my interactions with the other police departments on the shore were transparent, honest, and efficient. I perceived a feeling of animosity and contempt from most of the officers from other departments towards the Eastville department.

Virginia state code is clear. Police officers must be paid a fixed salary, and “shall have no interest in nor be permitted by law to accept the benefit of any fine or fee” S 46.2-102 with the exception of Mr.Eder, ALL officers are paid an hourly wage with liberal overtime provisions. If you track the increasing revenue from fines it will parallel the pay raises of all officers. If you have not crossed the line you are walking it. 

Special Opinion to the Mirror by Paul Plante

In his then-contemporary world history of what is known to history as the Interwar Period (1918–1939), the period between the end of the First World War and the beginning of the Second World War, also called the interbellum, titled “World Wars And Revolutions” copyrighted 1943, at p.152, the author, Walter Phelps Hall, PhD, of Princeton, informs us follows concerning “fascism,” to wit:

Fascism is an all-embracing doctrine which demands a one hundred percent surrender of the individual will in the name of mystical nationalism – with ends not clearly defined.

This nationalism is beyond good and evil, and thus is deified.

Therefore, fascism properly should be classed as a kind of religion like communism, the latter based on class-consciousness, the former on nationalism.

end quotes

Focus on those words, fascism properly should be classed as a kind of religion, and then focus in on these words from our own times here in the United States of America today, to wit:

It is very, very difficult to put into words what has transpired today.

This temple to democracy was desecrated.

end quotes

Those are words that were uttered on 6 January 2021 in Democrat Charley “Chuck” Schumer’s Statement to the Senate on the Storming of the Capitol, where Schumer laid the blame for the rioting squarely on President Donald Trump, which is another subject for another thread, because my focus in here is on this dangerous “TEMPLE TO DEMOCRACY” horse****, which would imply that democracy is now a state religion in the United States of America the way fascism was a state religion in Nazi Germany, Charley “Chuck” Schumer was peddling to the members of the United States Senate at 10:06 P.M. on 6 January 2021 and again in a TWEET to the TWITTERATI on TWITTER, as follows:

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Aug 3

The Senate passed the bill to award the Congressional Gold Medal to Capitol Police and those who protected the Capitol against the January 6th insurrection.

I can’t imagine more worthy recipients than those who put their lives on the line to defend our temple of democracy.

end quotes

Now, first of all, there was no insurrection on 6 January 2021, but again, that is another subject for another day, because the focus in here is on this dangerous “TEMPLE OF DEMOCRACY” horse**** Charley “Chuck” is peddling, as if he were a religious leader here in America similar to an Ayatollah in Iraq or Iran, because the word “temple,” at least as us common Americans would understand it, means a building devoted to the worship, or regarded as the dwelling place, of a god or gods or other objects of religious reverence.

So why then is Democrat Charley “Chuck” Schumer referring to the United States Capitol as a “temple,” meaning a building devoted to the worship, or regarded as the dwelling place, of a god or gods or other objects of religious reverence?

So, what is it we are supposed to worship in the United States Capitol?

Democracy?

But how does one worship democracy?

On our knees?

Prostate (stretched out with face on the ground in adoration or submission) on the floor with our foreheads touching the floor?

Do we need a priest present?

Getting back to the word “temple,” Merriam-Webster defines “temple” as “a building for religious practice,” while Wikipedia has it as “(A) temple (from the Latin templum) is a building reserved for spiritual rituals and activities such as prayer and sacrifice,” so if the United States Capitol is now a “TEMPLE OF DEMOCRACY,” does that mean that democracy is now our state religion here in the United States of America that we are now required to worship?

And for more disturbing religious overtones, we have Charley “Chuck” telling us on 6 January 2021 that “(T)his temple to democracy was desecrated,” where the word “desecrated” means “treat a sacred place with violent disrespect; violate.”

So when and how did the United States Capitol become a sacred place?

And what kind of trouble will we get into with the “RELIGIOUS POLICE” if we do not buy into Charley “Chuck” Schumer’s poisonous horse**** about the United States Capitol being a “TEMPLE OF DEMOCRACY?”

Special Opinion by Paul Plante

I was thinking of calling this thread “fact-checking” Joe Biden based on his Full transcript from President Joe Biden’s address to a joint session of Congress on 28 April 2021, but as I read through that document, it came to me that based some of the bizarre statements in there, Joe Biden is in fact a real piece of work, and we are stuck with him in the White House now, God help the nation, which raises the question of who in their right mind would want as the nation’s chief executive somebody who is clearly not all there?

Case in point is this following from that Transcript, to wit:

Talk to most responsible gun owners, most hunters – they’ll tell you there’s no possible justification for having 100 rounds – 100 bullets – in a weapon.

end quotes

Yes, people, Joe Biden actually said those very words, and all the responsible gun owners and hunters I know would come back to goofy old Joe and ask him how he is sticking 100 bullets into a magazine that only holds 20, or maybe 30?

Or 6 if you are talking about a Model 94 Winchester.

So let’s chalk that up as a stupid, ridiculous statement.

And since we are now two months further along since Joe made that speech to the Democrats in Congress, let’s start at the beginning, where we have Joe saying to the candid world as follows:

And today, that’s what we’re doing: America is rising anew.

Choosing hope over fear.

Truth over lies.

Light over darkness.

After 100 Days of rescue and renewal, America is ready for takeoff.

end quotes

Truth over lies?

Light over darkness?

America is ready for “takeoff?”

To where?

The moon?

Jupiter?

Uranus?

And are we going on one of Richard Brasnson’s rockets?

Or one from Elon Musk?

And while we are on that subject, let’s go back to the Transcript, where we have Joe saying as follows:

We’re making one of the largest one-time investments ever in improving health care for veterans.

end quotes

Which has me laughing right out loud in mocking tones because on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend, our goofy old Joe closed down the VA Clinic where I was to get my healthcare, leaving me out in the cold, because he wanted to save the rent so he can pay for his beloved illegals he has swarming the southern border.

So much for truth over lies, and light over darkness.

Going back to the Transcript, we have Joe talking about his infrastructure plan, as follows:

I’ve made clear that we can do it without increasing deficits.

Let’s start with what I will not do.

I will not impose any tax increases on people making less than $400,000 a year.

end quotes

Said as our Joe jacks the nation’s massive deficit even higher, and imposes a tax on people making less than $400,000 through price inflation, which is indeed a tax on those making less than $400,000, along with his tariff on lumber, which is yet another tax that impacts directly on those making less than $400,000, as we see by going to an article from The (Raleigh) News & Observer entitled “Lumber prices still sky-high amid COVID-19 shortage. What’s being done to get costs down?” by Bailey Aldridge on June 6, 2021, where we have as follows, to wit:

RALEIGH — Lumber prices have continued surging in response to supply shortages spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The lumber scarcity matched with increased demand during the pandemic drove costs sky-high, which in turn has increased construction and housing costs and left government officials and those within the industry grappling with how to rebound supply and bring costs down.

Between April 2020 and April 2021, the National Association of Home Builders said the “price per thousand board feet” increased by nearly 250% — from $350 to $1,200.

Prices then soared past $1,400 in early May and have continued increasing since.

The high lumber costs have increased the price of a single-family home by about $36,000, the NAHB says.

That’s priced “millions of middle-class households out of the market at a level they previously could afford.”

end quotes

Which takes us back to the Transcript, where we have Joe making the following statement, to wit:

It’s time to grow the economy from the bottom up and middle-out.

end quotes

Bottom up and middle out?

Is that the same as saying that high lumber costs have increased the price of a single-family home by about $36,000, pricing “millions of middle-class households out of the market at a level they previously could afford?”

As in middle class being forced out of the housing market?

Is that what “middle out,” really means, as in “middle class” forced out of the game?

Going back to that story, we have:

It’s also added nearly $13,000 to the cost of an “average new multifamily” home — meaning rent for a new apartment has gone up by about $119 each month.

end quotes

How does that square with no tax increases on people making less than $400,000 a year?

Going back to the story, we have:

What’s being done to bring lumber prices down?

The NAHB said it has called for “prompt action” from President Joe Biden’s administration and other officials and in late May discussed the soaring lumber prices with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo.

end quotes

For those who don’t know her, which is likely just about all of is, Gina Marie Raimondo, (born May 17, 1971), is an American politician and venture capitalist serving since 2021 as the 40th and current United States Secretary of Commerce.

A member of the Democratic Party, she previously served as the 75th and first female Governor of Rhode Island from 2015 to 2021.

Raimondo graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree magna cum laude in economics from Harvard College in 1993, where she served on the staff of The Harvard Crimson, and then she attended New College, Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, where she received a Master of Arts (MA) degree and Doctor of Philosophy in 2002 in sociology, with her thesis being on single motherhood, and Raimondo received her Juris Doctor degree from Yale Law School in 1998.

Following her graduation from Yale Law School, Raimondo acted as senior vice president for fund development at the Manhattan offices of Village Ventures, a venture capital firm based in Williamstown, Massachusetts, and backed by Bain Capital and Highland Capital Groups, and she returned to Rhode Island in 2000 to co-found the state’s first venture capital firm, Point Judith Capital, with Point Judith subsequently relocating its offices to Boston, Massachusetts.

At Point Judith, Raimondo served as a general partner covering health care investments; she retains some executive duties with the firm.

Between assuming office and the end of 2019, Raimondo consistently ranked towards the bottom of approval ratings for all governors in the United States, which is quite likely why goofy old old Joe picker her, as she would be no political threat to him by being too popular.

As to her competence, we have thusly:

A widely-criticized rollout of a new computer network system for the Rhode Island Executive Office of Health and Human Services dubbed the “Unified Health Infrastructure Project” (UHIP) in September 2016 saw scores of people without access to government programs such as food stamps and child care due to glitches in the software, designed by Deloitte.

This computer crash created a backlog of more than 20,000 cases.

In March 2017, Rhode Island Monthly reported that the U.S. Department of Justice opened an investigation into UHIP, specifically false claims and statements made about the Health and Human Services computer network rollout.

The investigation was still underway as of summer 2017.

In an interview, House Oversight Chair Rep. Patricia Serpa (D-West Warwick) said, “There’s plenty of blame to go around.”

“The auditor’s report found that [the contract with Deloitte] was poorly written, poorly overseen and poorly executed.”

“They were warned against the implementation because the system was not ready.”

“Not only did they implement it, they displaced all of the most senior workers with the wealth of experience.”

“We pulled all the plugs to make sure this was a failure.”

According to documents submitted to the federal government, the cost estimate for UHIP through 2021 is $656 million.

State taxpayers will pay $154 million of this amount while the federal government will pay the remainder.

In January 2020, State Senator Sam Bell said a Rhode Island Senate Fiscal Report on Raimondo’s budget proved that “a single UHIP update kicked 5,500 Rhode Islanders off their Medicaid” in November 2019 without due process and the decisions were based on a computer update.

Bell went on: “Medicaid terminations need to be done with some due process.”

“They should not come from a notoriously glitchy computer system.”

“You should have a chance to fight the decision to rip away your health insurance.”

“When you lose your Medicaid with no warning and no effort to transition you onto the exchange, the consequences can be deadly.”

end quotes

Obviously, Joe Biden found a way to avoid looking at any of that incompetence when he selected her to be his commerce secretary, which raises the question of why?

Which takes us back to the (Raleigh) News & Observer story, to wit:

NAHB Chairman Chuck Fowke said in a news release that Raimondo acknowledged she and Biden are concerned about the effect of high lumber prices on the country’s economy.

“We take these issues seriously, and my staff and I are committed to continuing to work with all stakeholders, including reviewing relevant data and conducting analysis to identify targeted actions the government or industry can take to address supply chain constraints,” Raimondo said, according to the NAHB.

end quotes

What rubbish!

Just a bunch of hobble-gobble and political BULL****.

And there for the moment I will rest.

Special Opinion to the Mirror by Paul Plante

Now, first of all, is there anybody out there in America today over the age of say, twelve, who is surprised that Joe Biden, who says he wants to unite this nation, which is empty blather because Joe is a divider, would discriminate against some Americans who he calls “Dregs of Society” who belong in a “Basket of Deplorables,” in favor of other Americans who are precious to him as part of his agenda to divide America into those who drink the KOOL-AID of the CULT OF JOE, and thus, are precious to Joe, and everybody else, who because they are not members of the CULT OF JOE, are instead outsiders entitled to none of the bounty Joe offers to his followers and acolytes as their reward for giving Joe their love, which spurs his love and largesse in return to those who love him?

Truly, people, is anybody at all surprised by any of that?

Which takes us to a story in The Hill entitled “Federal judge says Biden restaurant fund discriminated against white male” by John Kruzel 20 May 2021, where we had as follows in that matter, to wit:

A federal judge in Texas issued a preliminary ruling Tuesday which found that the Biden administration’s nearly $29 billion restaurant relief fund discriminated against a white male restaurateur.

end quotes

And my goodness, people, of course it did.

White males, especially heteronormative white males, are the root cause of all the problems everybody else in America are experiencing, so it is time somebody like Joe Biden stepped up to the plate to cut them off at the knees to teach them a much-needed lesson in humility, and if Joe has to discriminate against them to teach them that lesson, well, by damn, it will be done, and so it was, which resulted in Joe’s administration getting sued in court and losing, which is quite an accomplishment for Joe in his first one hundred days in office.

Getting back to The Hill, the story continues as follows:

In an 18-page ruling, the judge ordered the Small Business Administration (SBA) relief program to temporarily stop prioritizing funding applications from businesses owned by women and racial minorities, over that of the plaintiff.

U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, found that the plaintiff is “experiencing race and sex discrimination at the hand of government officials.”

end quotes

And again, people, of course he is, by intent of Joe Biden.

That is not accidental discrimination, that is intentional discrimination, as Joe Biden sets himself up as the arbiter of who is going to win and who is going to be made the loser in the Biden Miracle Economy, which takes us back to that story, as follows:

“The evidence submitted by plaintiffs indicates that the entire $28.6 billion in the Restaurant Revitalization Fund may be depleted before plaintiffs’ application can be considered for relief under the program,” O’Connor wrote.

The dispute arose after Philip Greer, a white male restaurant owner, brought a lawsuit on Sunday against the SBA over alleged violations of the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause.

Greer had sought to apply for the federal relief program after his restaurant, Greer’s Ranch Café, lost nearly $100,000 in revenue during the coronavirus pandemic.

But the program, which is part of the $1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill passed in March, aims to give priority to groups that Greer does not fall under – namely women, veterans and “socially and economically disadvantaged” people – for an initial period of May 3 to May 24.

The judge concluded that Greer was at risk of “irreparable harm” because the entire fund could run out by the time the prioritized groups’ claims were processed.

An attorney for the Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

end quotes

Way to go, Joe!

Getting sued for discrimination in your first 100 days and then losing is quite an accomplishment!

Special to the Mirror by Paul Plante

Every day, it seems, we hear about this group or that group, or this “community,” or that “community” screeching and hollering about “police reform,” without ever really saying what “police reform” is, or what it would look like once enacted or implemented, and in his speech to the Democrats on 28 April 2021 to celebrate Joe Biden making it through one hundred days of what is a four-year term, which is like celebrating someone making it through the first quarter mile of a marathon, Joe brought the subject up himself, as follows:

We have all seen the knee of injustice on the neck of Black America.

Now is our opportunity to make real progress.

Most men and women in uniform wear their badge and serve their communities honorably.

I know them.

I know they want to help meet this moment as well.

My fellow Americans, we have to come together.

To rebuild trust between law enforcement and the people they serve.

To root out systemic racism in our criminal justice system.

And to enact police reform in George Floyd’s name that passed the House already.

I know the Republicans have their own ideas and are engaged in productive discussions with Democrats.

We need to work together to find a consensus.

Let’s get it done next month, by the first anniversary of George Floyd’s death.

The country supports this reform.

Congress should act.

We have a giant opportunity to bend to the arc of the moral universe toward justice.

Real justice.

And with the plans I outlined tonight, we have a real chance to root out systemic racism that plagues American life in many other ways.

end quotes

Now, as we try to do what Joe said to do in his speech to the Democrats on 28 April 2021 where he told us that we have a giant opportunity to bend the arc of the moral universe toward justice, real justice, not some cheap fake or imitation justice, but the real deal, before we can actually do any of that actual bending of the arc of the moral universe towards real justice, not the horse**** version of “justice” Joe Biden is pushing, we first have to consider just what the word “justice” even means anymore, and to do that, we need to go back to August 10, 2020, just so many months before the farce of presidential elections in November of 2020, and the Washington Examiner article entitled “Biden now claims that Michael Brown was a victim of systemic racism” by Becket Adams, Commentary Writer, as follows:

Joe Biden this weekend tied the 2014 shooting death of Ferguson, Missouri, resident Michael Brown to the need to tackle “systemic racism” and corrupt law enforcement.

end quotes

Now, that is some very heavy-duty pure horse**** there, and it is right there that Joe Biden lost me with respect to any bending of any moral arcs, because Joe Biden, a “Willie Horton Democrat,” is trying to bend them the wrong way to benefit the law breakers and scoffers at rule of law and order who are his base to the detriment of civilized society who would be the victims of Joe Biden’s so-called “police reforms,” which reforms are not the province of a United States president in the first place, as we will see as I develop this topic further by making reference to a document submitted to The Urban League a bit ago entitled NATIONAL COPS EVALUATION ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE CASE STUDY: Albany, New York by David Thacher, Research Associate, Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University – Case Study Prepared for the Urban Institute, which is a very thorough report on the history of the Albany Police, which agency is now under serious political attack by the Common Council of Albany and the so-called “police review board,” and reforms over the years, and the fact that meddling by ignorant politicians just like Joe Biden into matters they know nothing about, but only have their feelings and emotions about, like Willie Horton and the fact that he couldn’t get out of prison on weekends so he could mingle with polite society is a big part of what is wrong with policing in America today, which argues for keeping Joe Biden totally out of the process after his stupid remarks in 2020 about Michael Brown, which takes us back to the Washington Examiner, as follows:

It is puzzling that he would link the one to the others, considering the Department of Justice under his boss, former President Barack Obama, concluded that Brown was no victim.

Rather, the 18-year-old black man was killed in the act of attacking a police officer and trying to take away his gun.

“It’s been six years since Michael Brown’s life was taken in Ferguson — reigniting a movement,” said the former vice president on the sixth anniversary of Brown’s death.

“We must continue the work of tackling systemic racism and reforming policing.”

It’s been six years since Michael Brown’s life was taken in Ferguson — reigniting a movement. We must continue the work of tackling systemic racism and reforming policing.

There is Joe on TWITTER, a social media site for morons and idiots who can’t read or understand more than a handful of words or pure gibberish at a time, proving that TWITTER is for morons and idiots by posting the stupid TWEET, which is why I am against Joe Biden bending the arc of the moral universe in his direction, which will be to the benefit of other Michael Browns who like Willie Horton, are a threat to civilized society, not a benefit to it, which again takes us back to the Washington Examiner, to wit:

Again, Obama’s Justice Department found that there was no credible evidence to support the claim that the white officer, Darren Wilson, had done anything illegal when he shot and killed Brown.

Rather, its independent investigation found Wilson had acted in self-defense.

So, why release a statement on the sixth anniversary of the justifiable shooting death of Brown and tie it to “systemic racism and reforming policing?”

What is Biden doing, if not deliberately inflaming passions and whipping up resentment?

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee seems to be playing footsie with the popular and false assertion that led to the torching of Ferguson at the time — that Wilson had “murdered” Brown.

It is a lie, and a persistent one at that.

Other top-tier Democratic officials, including Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, have helped spread this bit of fake news, too.

And they know what they are doing when they spread it.

Harris said in August 2019, “Michael Brown’s murder forever changed Ferguson and America.”

“His tragic death sparked a desperately needed conversation and a nationwide movement.”

“We must fight for stronger accountability and racial equity in our justice system.”

Warren tweeted 35 minutes later, “5 years ago Michael Brown was murdered by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.”

“Michael was unarmed yet he was shot 6 times.”

“I stand with activists and organizers who continue the fight for justice for Michael.”

“We must confront systemic racism and police violence head on.”

But Brown was not “murdered,” as the Obama Justice Department made abundantly clear in its investigation of the matter.

The false story that Brown put his hands up and said, “Don’t shoot!” has been debunked thoroughly, and Biden and his campaign team really should know better.
