St. Arbery... Maybe not so much

Details Emerge On Ahmaud Arbery’s Criminal Past: Loaded Gun Brought To HS Game

Not taking a side on this either way.

But every time the smoke clears, and look past the bullshit the MSM hands you, 97% of the time the deceased has a criminal record.

I'm sure it's purely coincidental.

The 'Bosnian sniper' is alive and well...

Cori Bush raises eyebrows with claim of being shot at by White supremacists, police chief unaware of evidence

Bush made the claim while commenting on the Kyle Rittenhouse trial

Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., sparked a backlash Monday after she claimed in a tweet that she and fellow protesters were fired upon by White supremacists during the racial unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, several years ago.

Bush was commenting on the ongoing murder trial of 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, who faces life in prison for shooting three men, two of them fatally, during the 2020 riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Jury deliberations were underway Tuesday as Kenosha businesses braced for potential riots following the verdict.

"When we marched in Ferguson, white supremacists would hide behind a hill near where Michael Brown Jr. was murdered and shoot at us,"

Bush tweeted Monday afternoon. "They never faced consequences."

(Sure they did)

And let's not forget about Michael Brown the 'gentle giant'. According to a court of law he was not 'murdered'. Unlike Nicole Simpson Brown and Ron Goldman.

"He ain't never hurt nobody"

"If Kyle Rittenhouse gets acquitted, it tells them that even seven years later they still can get away with it," she wrote.

Bush was characterizing Rittenhouse as a White supremacist even though there is no evidence linking him to White supremacist groups or ideologies.

(Call me crazy but how often does a 'white supremacist' shoot white people?)

Bush’s claim that Brown was murdered is also false, as the Justice Department concluded in 2015 that former Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson shot Brown in self-defense.

The backlash against Bush over the tweet was swift.

Ferguson Police Chief Frank McCall Jr., who became chief in July and was previously chief of the nearby Berkeley Police Department, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Monday that he didn’t know of any record of such an incident described by Bush.

"Not that I’m aware of," he said, adding he wasn’t aware of any incidents that the tweet might be referencing.

Skeptics poured cold water on the Bush’s claim by circulating articles on social media about the 2015 conviction of Jeffrey Williams, a Black man who was found guilty of shooting and wounding two police officers during a Ferguson protest in front of the police station on March 12, 2015. Witnesses said at the time that they believed the shots originated from the top of a hill about 220 yards directly opposite the station.

When asked for clarification, Bush’s campaign issued a statement Monday night doubling down on her comments.

"While on the frontlines of the Ferguson Uprising, Congresswoman Bush and other activists were shot at by white supremacist vigilantes," the campaign told the Post-Dispatch. "The question we need to ask is why white supremacists feel empowered to open-carry rifles, incite violence, and put Black lives at risk across our country."

Ohun Ashe, a local activist, also voiced support for Bush’s tweet.

"I vividly remember hiding under porches in Canfield as shots were fired at us," Ashe tweeted. "No one came to help us. Ferguson police would be nearby. We would come from under porches using cars as shields in between gun shots to make it out.”

Hillary also had a 'vivid memory'... here she is defending herself against the Bosnian sniper.

Ann Coulter...I Read Biden's Build Back Better Plan And... Oh, My God

On a tip from Ed Kilbane

Thankfully, we won't have to worry about this because... "it's not going to cost a dime."

The White House's official press release announcing the Build Back Better Act (BBB) pitches it as a "PLAN TO REBUILD THE MIDDLE CLASS." It rhapsodizes about "working families" squeezed by the economy, and reminds voters that "Biden promised to rebuild the backbone of the country -- the middle class."

A cartoon illustrates the sort of person who would benefit from Biden's Build Back Better programs: "Linda," a white woman, who works at a manufacturing plant but struggles to raise her son, "Leo."

One thing the White House's official press release did not mention is that almost all of the $2 trillion doled out under BBB is expressly designated for Black, Latino, Native American, Asian American, Pacific Islander and non-English speaking individuals. White Americans will get nothing and like it.

Over and over again, the bill is written expressly NOT to help the hardworking Linda, apparently because she is white. Here are just a few examples:

-- $1 billion to Native American, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian communities for housing "needs."

-- $500 million for minority-serving schools of medicine.

-- $112 million for teacher preparation programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs).

-- $75 million for culturally appropriate care management and services for older individuals who are racial and ethnic minorities or are underserved due to sexual orientation or gender identity.

-- $75 million to study maternal health for pregnant and postpartum minority individuals.

-- $50 million study maternal mortality among minorities.

-- $50 million to improve behavioral health outcomes for communities of color with substance abuse.

-- $75 million to increase research capacity at minority-serving institutions.

And on and on and on.

The very first item in Title II of the bill, titled "ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION," is a program to distribute more than $100 million in grants to address "low diversity within the teacher and school leader workforce." To be eligible for a grant, the recipient must have a plan "to increase the diversity of qualified individuals entering into the teacher, principal, or other school leader workforce."

Similarly, the first provision of BBB's "ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT" section is: "Minority Business Development Agency."

But wait -- here's a plot twist! This part also includes something for rural America! (So Democrats have heard of Appalachia.) Twenty-one percent of the country is rural. Twenty-four percent is non-white. Guess how the money is divvied up?

One billion dollars for minorities and $200 million for "rural business centers."

Even provisions that don't explicitly exclude whites, turn out, on closer examination, to exclude whites. I've never seen so many synonyms for "non-white," such as "persistent poverty communities," "historically economically distressed," "historical injustice" and "underserved communities."

Hang on, Ann -- what makes you think "underserved" means "non-white"?

I refer you to page 111 of the bill:

"This section also defines an 'underserved community' as a group of people who have been systematically denied the full opportunity to participate in aspects of economic, social, and civic life. Underserved communities include Black, Latino, Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian American and Pacific Islanders, other persons of color, [etc.]."

How about changes to our environmental laws? White people love the environment! Sorry, out of luck, again, white boy.

BBB allocates almost $7 billion for "national service programs to carry out projects related to climate resilience and mitigation." Unfortunately, however, all those billions have to go to "entities that serve and have representation from low-income communities ...; utilize culturally competent and multilingual strategies; ... implemented by diverse participants from communities being served."

One billion dollars of the "Climate Resilience and Mitigation" loot is specifically directed to "individuals who were formally incarcerated." [Sic.] Sure, climate change is important -- but not as important as giving money to convicted felons!

What the hell happened to Linda?

Linda is wearing a hardhat, so her job has probably been outsourced. Maybe she'll be helped by BBB's humongous expansion of the Trade Adjustment Assistance program (TAA). That's the law passed in the 1960s to compensate American workers whose jobs have been shipped abroad by globalist swine who couldn't care less about their fellow Americans and don't mind that every single thing we need, including masks and medicine, is made in China.

Surely, some white people will qualify for that -- steelworkers, autoworkers, glass, plastic and paper manufacturing employees.

In fact, the BBB hijacks the whole idea of compensating globalism's losers and turns the TAA into just another massive welfare scheme. Both the eligibility requirements and payment amounts are expanded beyond all reason, entitling "workers" to years and years of payouts, with no minimum employment period required, and no stipulation that trade has anything to do with the loss of their jobs.

Thus, for example, a program that is -- again -- meant to remunerate workers whose jobs were shipped abroad will now offer assistance to public sector employees. How does a government employee lose a job at all -- much less to trade? (I only wish we had Chinese people running our grade schools.)

Naturally, states will be required to work with "training providers" that have a proven track record serving "Black, Latino, Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian American and Pacific Islanders, other persons of color, members of other minority communities" and so on.

Republicans seem to think that if they just talk about how much Biden's BBB plan costs, their job is done. They ought to read the bill. It might prompt them to finally say something about the Democrats' clear animus against white Americans.
