SAMANTHA BEE : Welcome back to the show .
As our nation finally musters the moral courage to give a collective f*** about police brutality , people are demanding reforms .
Unfortunately @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Take body cameras .
They ’ re intended to protect people by recording police interactions and by 2016 , nearly half of all law enforcement agencies had implemented them .
Yet , a review found that they had next to no effect on checking police behavior .
It ’ s like how having to do a weekly Zoom call with TBS hasn ’ t stopped me from celebrating Topless Tuesdays .
But it ’ s not just body cameras that aren ’ t effective , it ’ s also a lot of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forces have implemented diversity initiatives or anti-bias and de-escalation trainings .
There is no empirical evidence that these types of strategies improve police-community relations .
BEE : Given the enormous harm being done to black and brown communities , we can ’ t only keep responding with the same weak , incremental tweaks .
The murders of Mike Brown , Tamir Rice , and Eric Garner all inspired waves of reforms in cities across the country but over 1,000 civilians were still killed by cops in 2019 .
George Floyd himself was killed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ called a shining star of police reform .
Police reform hasn ’ t brought about the change we need but there is something we can do .
We can defund the police .
MISKI NOOR : Right now ’ s the time to defund the police and really invest in our community .
BEE : Defunding the police means we can significantly scale back police budgets over time ; which will allow us to relocate that money to things that actually keep our communities safe , like education , mental health care , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
All things that can help reduce crime in the long run .
America spends a combined $ 115 billion on policing .
Atlanta , Baltimore , Chicago , Detroit , Houston , Los Angeles , Minneapolis , Oakland , and Orlando all spend more than a quarter of their general funds on policing .
In New York City , the NYPD budget is almost $ 6 billion , more than the funding for health , homeless services , youth development , and work force development combined , and half a billion just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ de Blasio kiss .
Some cities have recently responded to public pressure and started rethinking their police budgets .
It ’ s still not enough .
Last week , Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced he would cut $ 150 million from the LAPD ’ s budget ; which still gives the department $ 1 billion .
Do you have any idea what you could do with $ 1 billion ?
You could buy the Miami Marlins and replace them with actual marlins .
The police don ’ t need that much money @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lethal weapons and not just the Mel Gibson kind .
Although that kind , too .
Crime rates have been steadily going down since the 90s , just like your mom .
What ?
No , not the time ?
Opposite of the time ?
Okay .
Defunding the police is just the start .
We also need to change how police officers are used at all .
ALEX VITALE : In many cases , the solution to some of the problems with policing is not rejiggering what we do but to just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
FELICIANO : Although police have little training in mental health , about 10 percent of police interactions involve a person with a mental illness and one in four people with mental disorder have histories of arrest .
BEE : Sending a police officer to deal with a mental health crisis is like sending me to host John Krasinski ’ s “ Some Good News.
” I got nothing .
Even former Dallas Police Chief David Brown agrees that the cops shouldn ’ t be getting called for every situation .
DAVID BROWN @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it off on the cops to solve .
Not enough mental health funding ?
Let the cop handle it .
Not enough drug addiction funding ?
Let ’ s give it to the cops .
Here in Dallas , we got a loose dog problem .
Let ’ s have the cops chase loose dogs .
BEE : You know what , I ’ m almost fine with the police chasing loose dogs because then maybe we could solve the cold case of “ who let the dogs out ?
” Who , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Who ?
Who ?
Fortunately , some cities like Dallas are already dispatching social workers to respond to certain 9-1-1 calls and it ’ s working .
People are getting mental health care instead of being sent to jail ; which helps everybody .
Other major cities like New York , Chicago , Detroit , L.A. and D.C. have violence interruption programs that aim to train people in their communities to defuse conflicts before they escalate and guess what ?
Those programs are also working .
Look , I know a lot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it is .
But we can ’ t afford to keep dismissing the best ideas just because they make people feel uncomfortable or because they aren ’ t politically popular and there are concrete steps we can take toward defunding right now .
Movements in New York , Minneapolis , Los Angeles , Oakland , Philadelphia , Nashville , and Austin are already making progress pressuring their mayors and city councils to divest funding from police departments and then reinvest it where it ’ s needed .
You can go to SamanthaBee.com/TakeAction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in each of those cities plus resources to contact key officials in your state .
Even if you don ’ t live in those cities , start talking to your elected officials about budget justice yourself .
Call , e-mail , get creative .
Just don ’ t stand outside Bill de Blasio ’ s window holding up a boom box blasting “ F*** the police.
” He ’ s already horny enough for them as it is .
Defunding the police isn ’ t a far-fetched idea .
Some cities have already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ developed country polices people like America does .
We have to be willing to reimagine a better world .
Black lives are depending on it .

thelibertydaily--2020-06-14--Appeals Court Rebukes Imperious Judge Over Absurd Absentee Ballot Ruling

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit has taken federal District Judge Fred Biery to the proverbial woodshed over an outlandish order he issued in late May .
In that order , Biery required Texas to allow all voters to vote by mail even if they didn ’ t otherwise meet the state ’ s eligibility requirement for an absentee ballot .
In a stunning June 4 rebuke written by Judge Jerry Smith , a unanimous three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit said that Biery ’ s order will be “ remembered more for [ its ] audacity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ panel said that although Biery wanted “ to take matters into his own hands , ” the spread of COVID-19 has not given unelected federal judges “ a roving commission to rewrite state election codes ” and intervene just weeks before an election .
Smith summarized Biery ’ s order using Biery ’ s own silly language and bizarre arguments : The district court suggests that , by requiring able-bodied , young voters who are present in the county to visit the polls in person when they may possibly contract the Virus ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ measures ) , the state officials wished ‘ to return to the not so halcyon and not so thrilling days of yesteryear of the Divine Right of Kings , ’ ‘ the doctrine that kings have absolute power because they were placed on their thrones by God and therefore rebellion against the monarch [ was ] always a sin.
’ ‘ One ’ s right to vote should not be elusively based on the whims of nature , ’ the court opined and therefore , ‘ [ c ] itizens should have the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Otherwise , according to [ Biery ] , ‘ our democracy and the Republic would be lost and government of the people , by the people , and for the people [ should ] perish from the earth.
’ The 5th Circuit panel said , though , that “ to resolve this appeal , we need not—and will not—consider the prudence of Texas ’ s plans for combating the virus when holding elections .
Instead , we must decide only whether the challenged provisions of the Texas Election Code run afoul of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they offend the policy preferences of a federal district judge.
” Needless to say , the panel found that the provisions likely did not violate the Constitution , that Texas will likely succeed on the merits of its appeal , and stayed—i.e.
, blocked—Biery ’ s order from taking effect .
Still , the 5th Circuit panel continued its strong rebuke of Biery , saying that he was “ [ n ] o stranger to rank speculation ” when he “ accused Texas of seeking to disenfranchise a certain ‘ sector of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sic ] may vote.
’ ” The appeals court said that this “ is an extremely serious accusation that calls into question the judge ’ s evenhandedness.
” The appellate judges were so troubled by it that they addressed it again later in the opinion and said this is a “ grave and malicious accusation for a district judge to make.
” They said , “ This kind of drive-by speculation about the state ’ s covert motives is utterly impermissible and finds no support in this record .
Instead of searching for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ [ Biery ] jerry-rigged some straw men and proceeded to burn them.
” They summarized their finding saying , “ it was not for the district judge to disparage Texas ’ s response to the Virus and constitutionalize his favored version of the Election Code.
” To justify his opinion , the panel noted , Biery cited ( and , we might add , spun for his own purposes ) “ the Declaration of Independence , the Gettysburg Address , the Bible , and various poems , ” none of which are actual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ judge .
While the 5th Circuit panel rebuked and rebutted Biery at nearly every turn in its opinion , the appellate judges took specific issue with two aspects of Biery ’ s screed : 1 ) the fact that he gave short shrift to the state ’ s concerns about voter fraud being more pervasive with the use of absentee ballots , and 2 ) the fact that he refused to abstain from hearing the case while Texas state law issues were working their way through Texas state courts .
With regards to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , “ According to the district court , the fact that ‘ [ b ] etween 2005 [ and ] 2018 ’ —when , of course , far fewer than literally all Texas voters were eligible to vote by mail— ‘ there were 73 prosecutions out of millions of votes cast ’ indicates not that voter fraud is difficult to detect and prosecute , but instead that ‘ vote by mail fraud is [ not ] real.
’ ” As we ’ ve previously written , and The Heritage Foundation ’ s Election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unfounded conclusion just isn ’ t true .
Judge James Ho , a recent Trump appointee , hammered home this point in a compelling concurrence .
In it , he discussed a state ’ s strong interest in maintaining the integrity of its elections .
“ The right to vote is fundamental to our constitutional democracy .
But it means nothing if your vote doesn ’ t count .
And it won ’ t count if it ’ s canceled by a fraudulent vote—as the Supreme Court has made clear in case after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that states have a compelling interest in protecting the integrity of their elections and the greater likelihood of fraud occurring using absentee ballots , he cited other instances where courts recognized that such fraud occurs .
He even cited data from the Brennan Center for Justice , a liberal think tank that has the explicit goal of making “ voting free , fair , and easy ” and opposes almost all security measures intended to protect the integrity of the election process , including voter ID requirements .
The Brennan Center could hardly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voter suppression .
In fact , Ho said that the Brennan Center “ found ‘ extensive problems with absentee ballot fraud ’ in various elections—including a 1997 Miami election that ‘ was overturned on the basis of absentee ballot fraud.
’ ” With regards to the latter issue ( abstention ) , the 5th Circuit panel in a lengthy footnote criticized Biery for refusing to abstain while Texas state law issues worked their way through Texas state courts .
The “ district court ’ s decision to forge ahead despite an intimately intertwined—and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was not well-considered.
” The appeals court panel went so far as to say that the “ district court ’ s reasons for not abstaining are suspect , ” and that Biery ’ s refusal to refrain from ruling on an issue being considered by the state courts “ turned our jurisprudence on its head.
” The 5th Circuit panel also commented on the irony of the plaintiffs in the case , which included the Texas Democratic Party , telling the appeals court it should “ refrain from intervening ” in forthcoming elections @ @ @ @ @ @ @ absurd order because of “ the proximity ” of the upcoming elections .
That was despite the fact that the plaintiffs had just obtained “ an injunction intervening in forthcoming elections ” from Biery .
That , said the panel , “ reminds us of the legal definition of chutzpah : … a young man , convicted of murdering his parents , who argues for mercy on the ground that he is an orphan.
” Clearly , the conduct of Biery troubled his judicial colleagues .
Unfortunately , his conduct isn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ behaved in a less-than-judicious—perhaps even partisan—manner when it comes to important election ( and other ) issues .
The need to depoliticize the courts and to appoint constitutionally committed judges is highlighted by this case .
Fortunately , the 5th Circuit stopped ( at least temporarily ) Biery ’ s regal decree from upending Texas ’ election procedures , and in the process took a step toward reminding judges to focus on what the law requires , rather than what their own partisan preferences are when it comes to state policies .
Judges @ @ @ @ @ @ @ legislators .

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit has taken federal District Judge Fred Biery to the proverbial woodshed over an outlandish order he issued in late May.
In that order, Biery required Texas to allow all voters to vote by mail even if they didn’t otherwise meet the state’s eligibility requirement for an absentee ballot.
In a stunning June 4 rebuke written by Judge Jerry Smith, a unanimous three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit said that Biery’s order will be “remembered more for [its] audacity than legal reasoning.”
The appeals court panel said that although Biery wanted “to take matters into his own hands,” the spread of COVID-19 has not given unelected federal judges “a roving commission to rewrite state election codes” and intervene just weeks before an election.
Smith summarized Biery’s order using Biery’s own silly language and bizarre arguments:
The district court suggests that, by requiring able-bodied, young voters who are present in the county to visit the polls in person when they may possibly contract the Virus (notwithstanding doubled early voting and other precautionary measures), the state officials wished ‘to return to the not so halcyon and not so thrilling days of yesteryear of the Divine Right of Kings,’ ‘the doctrine that kings have absolute power because they were placed on their thrones by God and therefore rebellion against the monarch [was] always a sin.’ ‘One’s right to vote should not be elusively based on the whims of nature,’ the court opined and therefore, ‘[c]itizens should have the option to’ vote by mail. Otherwise, according to [Biery], ‘our democracy and the Republic would be lost and government of the people, by the people, and for the people [should] perish from the earth.’
The 5th Circuit panel said, though, that “to resolve this appeal, we need not—and will not—consider the prudence of Texas’s plans for combating the virus when holding elections. Instead, we must decide only whether the challenged provisions of the Texas Election Code run afoul of the [U.S.] Constitution, not whether they offend the policy preferences of a federal district judge.”
Needless to say, the panel found that the provisions likely did not violate the Constitution, that Texas will likely succeed on the merits of its appeal, and stayed—i.e., blocked—Biery’s order from taking effect.
Still, the 5th Circuit panel continued its strong rebuke of Biery, saying that he was “[n]o stranger to rank speculation” when he “accused Texas of seeking to disenfranchise a certain ‘sector of the population because of the way they [sic] may vote.’”
The appeals court said that this “is an extremely serious accusation that calls into question the judge’s evenhandedness.”
The appellate judges were so troubled by it that they addressed it again later in the opinion and said this is a “grave and malicious accusation for a district judge to make.”
They said, “This kind of drive-by speculation about the state’s covert motives is utterly impermissible and finds no support in this record. Instead of searching for a conceivable basis for the rules, [Biery] jerry-rigged some straw men and proceeded to burn them.”
They summarized their finding saying, “it was not for the district judge to disparage Texas’s response to the Virus and constitutionalize his favored version of the Election Code.”
To justify his opinion, the panel noted, Biery cited (and, we might add, spun for his own purposes) “the Declaration of Independence, the Gettysburg Address, the Bible, and various poems,” none of which are actual sources of applicable law for a federal judge.
While the 5th Circuit panel rebuked and rebutted Biery at nearly every turn in its opinion, the appellate judges took specific issue with two aspects of Biery’s screed: 1) the fact that he gave short shrift to the state’s concerns about voter fraud being more pervasive with the use of absentee ballots, and 2) the fact that he refused to abstain from hearing the case while Texas state law issues were working their way through Texas state courts.
With regards to the former, the appeals court said, “According to the district court, the fact that ‘[b]etween 2005 [and] 2018’—when, of course, far fewer than literally all Texas voters were eligible to vote by mail—‘there were 73 prosecutions out of millions of votes cast’ indicates not that voter fraud is difficult to detect and prosecute, but instead that ‘vote by mail fraud is [not] real.’”
As we’ve previously written, and The Heritage Foundation’s Election Fraud Database shows, Biery’s unfounded conclusion just isn’t true.
Judge James Ho, a recent Trump appointee, hammered home this point in a compelling concurrence. In it, he discussed a state’s strong interest in maintaining the integrity of its elections.
“The right to vote is fundamental to our constitutional democracy. But it means nothing if your vote doesn’t count. And it won’t count if it’s canceled by a fraudulent vote—as the Supreme Court has made clear in case after case.”
To further prove his point that states have a compelling interest in protecting the integrity of their elections and the greater likelihood of fraud occurring using absentee ballots, he cited other instances where courts recognized that such fraud occurs.
He even cited data from the Brennan Center for Justice, a liberal think tank that has the explicit goal of making “voting free, fair, and easy” and opposes almost all security measures intended to protect the integrity of the election process, including voter ID requirements.
The Brennan Center could hardly be painted as a dark force for voter suppression. In fact, Ho said that the Brennan Center “found ‘extensive problems with absentee ballot fraud’ in various elections—including a 1997 Miami election that ‘was overturned on the basis of absentee ballot fraud.’”
With regards to the latter issue (abstention), the 5th Circuit panel in a lengthy footnote criticized Biery for refusing to abstain while Texas state law issues worked their way through Texas state courts.
The “district court’s decision to forge ahead despite an intimately intertwined—and, at that time, unresolved—state-law issue was not well-considered.”
The appeals court panel went so far as to say that the “district court’s reasons for not abstaining are suspect,” and that Biery’s refusal to refrain from ruling on an issue being considered by the state courts “turned our jurisprudence on its head.”
The 5th Circuit panel also commented on the irony of the plaintiffs in the case, which included the Texas Democratic Party, telling the appeals court it should “refrain from intervening” in forthcoming elections and refuse to stay Biery’s absurd order because of “the proximity” of the upcoming elections.
That was despite the fact that the plaintiffs had just obtained “an injunction intervening in forthcoming elections” from Biery.
That, said the panel, “reminds us of the legal definition of chutzpah: … a young man, convicted of murdering his parents, who argues for mercy on the ground that he is an orphan.”
Clearly, the conduct of Biery troubled his judicial colleagues. Unfortunately, his conduct isn’t an isolated incident, where judges have behaved in a less-than-judicious—perhaps even partisan—manner when it comes to important election (and other) issues.
The need to depoliticize the courts and to appoint constitutionally committed judges is highlighted by this case.
Fortunately, the 5th Circuit stopped (at least temporarily) Biery’s regal decree from upending Texas’ election procedures, and in the process took a step toward reminding judges to focus on what the law requires, rather than what their own partisan preferences are when it comes to state policies.
Judges need to act like judges, not legislators.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Trump supporters in Florida were celebrating the president’s birthday Sunday with caravans, flotillas and parades throughout his adopted homestate.

In The Villages, a massive Republican-friendly retirement community northwest of Orlando where golf carts are the vehicles of choice for many residents, Trump supporters were holding a golf-cart parade in honor of the president, who is turning 74.
Speaking to West Point graduates on Saturday, Trump said his birthday coincided with the 245th anniversary of the U.S. Army’s founding.

Perhaps they are intent on making Carlson ’ s words a self-fulfilling prophecy : Thankfully for Carlson , he reveals the only answer that will save him and other conservative commentators from having their careers completely destroyed by the fakers and the liars , again just a few sentences later : He was right again .
Tucker Carlson matters a great deal to America .
Not only is it wrong to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mob is trying to do to him , but his contrarian , courageous truth-telling is in far-too-short supply in this chaotic , insane age .

No doubt they would be richly rewarded if they buy up the recently vacated ad inventory .
For the sake of America , @ @ @ @ @

Tucker Carlson matters.
I’m not saying black lives don’t matter as well. They do. Of course, they do. I mean that sincerely.
Right now, a concerted effort to eliminate Tucker Carlson—his show, his views, his opinions, his advertisers, indeed his very presence in American public life—is being executed with violent precision by a group of very powerful Americans.
This is objectively wrong.
The eponymous “Tucker Carlson Tonight” is viewed by 4.2 million people on average every day, more than double the ratings of his network rivals on CNN and MSNBC in the same time slot. Carlson is even beating out his predecessor, the ratings’ giant Bill O’Reilly. Carlson’s nightly opening monologue has become appointment viewing for millions of conservatives around the country precisely because of his often-divergent take on our swirling news cycle.
When mainstream news outlets were broadcasting wall-to-wall impeachment coverage in January, Carlson was on an island warning of a novel coronavirus spreading in China. When war with Iran seemed like a foregone conclusion, Carlson broke with conservative orthodoxy and instead begged President Trump to keep America out of another endless war in the Middle East. As the unemployment rolls began swelling into the tens of millions in April, he rightly called out the continued use of H-2B visas that would bring in as many as 100,000 additional foreign workers—something on which the Trump Administration ultimately reversed course.
All of this underscores exactly why Tucker Carlson matters.
Yet despite his runaway success in the ratings, Tucker Carlson has lost seven high-profile advertisers over the course of 48 hours last week: Disney, Jackson Hewitt Tax Services, Poshmark, Vari, Papa Johns, and T-Mobile. This despite the fact that Disney finds it perfectly acceptable to do business with the Chinese Communist Party, which has placed a million Uyghurs Muslims in concentration camps. But of course, nothing to see here folks.
And why are these advertisers passing up the opportunity to sell their capitalist products to the millions of potential customers drawn to Carlson’s program? Well, because racism, of course.
Across the social-media sphere, Carlson’s words are being selectively spliced and deliberately misrepresented. Instead of being the target of Twitter’s “wrong think police” or being deleted as blatant misinformation (as would most certainly be the case if the shoe was on the other ideological foot), these clips are being rewarded on Twitter, delivering users huge spikes in engagement for those who post them.
After all, even to the Left, Tucker is nothing if not a ratings’ bonanza.
Users like Joy Reid, host of MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” shared one of these selectively-edited clips with her 1.7 million followers, receiving more than 18,600 retweets and 61,100 likes for her efforts at the time of this writing. In the clip, Carlson can be heard stating over the imagery of looters and rioters destroying property that almost certainly wasn’t theirs, “they don’t own this country, they didn’t build it . . . ”
To which Reid charged, predictably, racism!
“Except ‘they’ did build it,” tweeted Reid. “‘They built the wealth of the agricultural South & West. ‘They’ literally built the White House and ‘they’ built the railroads and ‘they’ built this uniquely American culture that includes Hollywood, jazz, rock & roll and hip-hop. America IS ‘they.’”
Had Reid played the full clip and not lied to millions of people (something she is accustomed to doing regularly from her perch at MSNBC), her followers would have heard Carlson refer to “vandals” in the sentence immediately before where she started the clip. Carlson’s point was that vandals didn’t build America. This, of course, is objectively true. People who steal, loot, and burn down cities did not, and could not, build something as great as America. His statement was directed as much at the white, upper-class members of Antifa as any individuals looting and vandalizing who might happen to be black or brown.
Carlson’s color-blind truth-telling went undetected or ignored by the racist, homophobe Joy Reid and her ilk, in favor of lazy (albeit effective) cries of systemic oppression.
What was Carlson’s other, unforgivable sin?
This time, Daily Beast contributing editor Justin Baragona posted the “damning” video, in which Carlson says, “This may be a lot of things, this moment we are living through, but it is definitely not about black lives, and remember that when they come for you. And at this rate, they will.” The video has more than 5.4 million views and counting.
After far-left activist group Sleeping Giants tagged T-Mobile in a reply to the selectively edited clip, T-Mobile’s corporate Twitter profile assured users it would not be placing any more ads on the show. T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert even chimed in with, “Bye-bye Tucker Carlson! #BlackLivesMatter.”
Ignoring the obvious spinelessness and intellectual laziness of corporate America, let’s just take Carlson’s assertion on its face. Once again, his boldness is proved accurate if you continue listening.
Tucker pointed out that if black lives truly did matter to Black Lives Matter, the group would be marching in the streets for the nearly 7,500 black people killed by other blacks every year, the vast majority in urban centers run by Democrats. They would be equally horrified by the disproportionate number of abortion clinics placed in the hearts of black communities. In New York City, this epidemic has become so horrific that more black babies are aborted than born every year. They would be deeply angry that over 70 percent of black children grow up without a father in the home. As it turns out, having two parents in the household is the single greatest predictor of future economic success. This is true for both whites and blacks.
But the activists aren’t sufficiently upset by any of that. You can’t get nearly as much ink spilled for the truth. And they hate that Tucker Carlson had the stones to call them on it.
Perhaps the bitter hall monitors at Media Matters, Sleeping Giants, and Right Wing Watch are so obsessed with Carlson’s words they are quarantining in their parents’ basements, combing through transcripts of his show, feverishly jotting down notes and taking pointers.
Perhaps they are intent on making Carlson’s words a self-fulfilling prophecy:
Statements of fact and opinion that were entirely within the bounds of reasonable conversation just last Sunday, suddenly a week later, were enough to get you fired from your job.
Thankfully for Carlson, he reveals the only answer that will save him and other conservative commentators from having their careers completely destroyed by the fakers and the liars, again just a few sentences later:
Anyone who knows the rage of the mob knows the feeling. It’s like being swarmed by hornets. You can’t think clearly. The temptation is to panic. But you can’t panic. You got to keep your head and tell the truth. Tell the truth. If you show weakness of any kind, they will crush you.
He was right again.
Tucker Carlson matters a great deal to America. Not only is it wrong to do to any human being what the activist mob is trying to do to him, but his contrarian, courageous truth-telling is in far-too-short supply in this chaotic, insane age. Whether you agree or disagree with him, the ability for his views to exist on a mainstream media platform must be preserved. Credit to Fox News for standing with him.
Other courageous advertisers should realize the opportunity before them, too. No doubt they would be richly rewarded if they buy up the recently vacated ad inventory. For the sake of America, I hope they will.


thelibertydaily--2020-06-15--My Name Is Joe O’Biden, And I Am Here To Defund the Police

Folks , it ’ s Joe O ’ Biden here .
I couldn ’ t help myself , so I decided to do another video from my crypt er .
.
.
from my basement , so that y ’ all can see for yourself—I am ready to be vice president .
I mean , president .
No joke !
The fact of the matter is , people love seeing me on video .
When I go out and do things , it usually doesn ’ t turn out so good .
So my staff keeps telling me—stay in your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do videos from there , so that all Americans can see that you ’ re ready to be the fearless top dog that they all want to have in charge .
So here I am , broadcasting from my crypt and doing just that—demonstrating that I am , indeed , the top dog .
Folks , just the other day I attended a memorial service for Pink Floyd .
It was so moving , I almost peed in my diaper .
Er .
.
.
I mean , I almost cried .
Pink @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now a key part of my coalition .
Everybody named Floyd is welcome to vote for me .
Especially any black person named Floyd .
And if you is black and you ain ’ t voting for me , then you ain ’ t black .
You is definitely not black enough , if you is for Trump !
That is why , folks , I took a knee , to honor Bubba Floyd .
Well , I had to have help , obviously , because getting down on one knee , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ challenge .
Anyone can tell you that , so the fact that they had to help me in no way indicates that I am old and falling apart .
Just the opposite !
“ I Want to Talk About Racial Justice ” Unfortunately , the teleprompter quit on me just as we were trying to get this video thing going .
So for better or for worse , I am just gon na have to use my notes .
So let me tell you something , folks : right here , in my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of protesting should .
.
.
never be allowed to .
.
.
to .
.
.
to overshadow the reason for the protest .
Yes .
Let me just say it one more time , but this time with feeling , because right now , at this very moment , I .
.
.
have no idea what else to say : the protesting should not .
.
.
er .
.
.
not .
.
.
overshadow the reason for the protest .
Right .
No joke !
I remember now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ justice .
And let me tell you something : nobody has a better feel for racial justice than me .
Ever since I came to the Senate , racial justice has been at the top of my list of concerns .
In fact , I remember , back in the day , when me , Senator Eastland and Senator Talmadge , both of whom mentored me , would get together , smoke a few cigars , and talk about race issues in America .
It was a very civil discourse , especially after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And what we all agreed on was that we literally need more racial justice .
Literally !
Well , I am not sure they agreed , now that I think about it .
But we talked about lots of things , me and the good ol ’ boys .
The point is , we need a president who understands what black Americans are feeling right now , the same way that my friends Talmadge and Eastman understood it .
Er .
.
.
OK. What are we talking about here ?
Right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you about the one issue we face today , and that is , defunding the police .
We absolutely need to defund the police .
We need to defund the police , the ICE , the FBI , and all the state police .
But we also need to fund the police better .
And while we abolish the police and , at the same time , increase their funding , we need to do it with the kind of decency and honorableness that I have always been known for .
So I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my position is , on the defunding police issue : we definitely need to defund the police , and , while we are doing that , we need to spend more money on the police , so that the police , after being defunded , have all the funds they need to do their job with honorableness and decency .
So I hope I ’ ve made my position clear .
I am serious !
Let me be clear about something .
All of us must remember is that at least 10 to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very good people .
Let ’ s be honest here , folks—they really are not .
I know this for a fact , because not one of them plans to vote for me .
In fact , that percentage might be even higher .
As many as 20 to 25 percent of Americans probably aren ’ t very good people .
They are bad people , in point of fact .
And another 15 percent or so are at best so-so people .
So we might have as many 40 percent of Americans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Maybe even 45 percent .
Some worse than others , obviously .
A lot of the Latino people support Trump—and they are just terrible people .
Almost half of the Latino people are not good people .
Let me tell you something—if you is a Latino , and you is for Trump , you ain ’ t a Latino .
In fact , I don ’ t need the Latino vote at all !
I can win without Latinos !
No joke !
Folks we have the coro .
.
.
cor .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , out there .
So the most important thing right now is to take care of the cure .
As soon as we find the cure , that will make the problem worse no matter what .
No matter what .
The whole point of finding the cure is to make the problem even bigger .
Er .
.
.
What am I saying ?
I .
.
.
What ?
I ’ m saying that .
.
.
What .
.
.
Ahh .
.
.
Er .
.
.
What I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a cure .
Yes .
Coronavirus is a disease , and I am the cure .
Er .
.
.
No .
.
.
I don ’ t mean that .
.
.
If we find a cure , then we can cure people .
Right .
And in fact , the Biden Cancer Initiative is an example of how we can cure people .
The Biden Cancer Initiative is all about a cure for cancer .
And just like the Biden Cancer Initiative , we need to .
.
.
er .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ t actually find a cure , that wasn ’ t really the point of it , the point of it was to draw attention to the problem of cancer , because I wouldn ’ t want to die of cancer .
Would you ?
Of course not .
Plus , I am on the board of the Biden Cancer Initiative , and so is my wife , Valerie Biden , and that ’ s how we get paid the big bucks from this cancer thing .
I am serious !
And folks , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
.
coro .
.
.
at the numbers , and , oh , boy .
.
.
Oh , boy .
.
.
Oh .
.
.
Oh , man .
.
.
Those numbers .
.
.
Oh , boy .
.
.
The numbers .
.
.
Boy , those very high numbers have to do at least several things .
One , we have to depend on what the president ’ s going to do right now , and first of all , he has to .
.
.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ cases happen before anything happens .
We can ’ t do anything until things happen .
No .
.
.
Those numbers , they depend on the president .
I mean , we have to wait until the virus causes an actual infestation .
.
.
The virus .
.
.
Here ’ s the deal—this epidemic is all Trump ’ s fault .
Er .
.
.
well , OK , maybe not the whole epidemic , but definitely some of the epidemic is his fault .
And .
.
.
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the nurses .
.
.
and doctors , also !
But I like nurses .
.
.
Especially nurses .
Boy , some of those nurses are damn hot !
No joke !
Look , Trump ’ s got to get in place things that were shortages of .
I mean , that we had shortages of .
Er .
.
.
Right .
Shortages .
Especially the masks .
Masks are key .
There were shortages of masks .
We need more masks , and we have those high numbers of people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wear two masks , or even three masks .
We need more masks , and Trump isn ’ t making more masks .
I mean it !
Ever since I was Barack America ’ s vice president , I always chose truth over facts !
Folks , I ’ ll be honest with you : it ’ s getting kinda boring , sitting here in my crypt every day , day after day .
Doing these videos from my crypt is getting a little stale , truth be told , especially since nobody @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the monotony , if you know what I mean .
Maybe I ’ ll even go to .
.
.
somewhere .
I don ’ t know where yet , as long as it ’ s completely safe .
No joke !
Folks , I ’ ve been thinking a lot about this , and admit that Hillary Clinton was always more qualified than me to be vice president .
And that is why I am running for president now—because I ’ ve always been the second-most qualified .
Maybe even third-most qualified @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people whose names I won ’ t mention , because I can ’ t remember them .
I am serious !
And folks , unlike Trump , we base our policies on truth over facts !
Right !
Wait , I said that already , didn ’ t I ?
Right .
The facts say , we don ’ t need masks anymore , because protesting is more important , and you need to show your face when you ’ re protesting .
And that is why we have to move forward right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to come together while moving forward !
I know times are tough , but the stakes in this election have never been higher !
You can ’ t deal with the economic crisis until you deal with the public health crisis !
We need to forgive all student debt immediately !
We ’ ve got ta act now to keep the doors open for small businesses on Main Street !
We ’ ve got to make sure that Main Street joins Wall Street !
And we have to make sure that Wall Street @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or Fifth Avenue !
We need a task force to deal with this crisis !
Donald Trump ’ s response to the coro .
.
.
corona .

.
cor .
.
.
the virus is inept !
Let me be clear about something else , too .
I oppose all walls !
A wall will not stop the coronavirus .
Did you know that ?
You did .
Good .
I am against travel bans !
This disease could impact every nation and any person on the planet—and we need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is no time for Donald Trump ’ s record of hysteria , hysterical xenophobia , and fearmongering !
It is time for all Americans to go out and protest the lockdowns !
No , wait , that ’ s wrong .
.
.
What I mean is , it is time for all Americans to go out and protest racism !
Right !
Folks , there are many people who are unemployed now , because of the cor .

the virus , and because of Trump .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ not counting the 700 million women .
And that ’ s just terrible .
That is why I stand shoulder to shoulder with those Democratic governors who are continuing the lockdowns .

Folks , I ’ ve been talking here for quite a while now , and I am trying to remember , have I talked about masks already ?
I have ?
OK , then !
What about defunding the police ?

A federal court ruling has advanced a case against a Georgia county by the American Center for Law and Justice on behalf of a Christian ministry called Vision Warriors .

A federal court ruling has advanced a case against a Georgia county by the American Center for Law and Justice on behalf of a Christian ministry called Vision Warriors.
Cherokee County was accused nearly a year ago of violating the Federal Fair Housing Act as well as the Fourteenth Amendment through "a series of discriminatory land use decisions made by the county in an effort to keep the ministry from using the property as intended."
The complaint charges the county revoked Vision Warriors' previously granted zoning approval and tenant occupancy permit, erroneously classifying Vision Warriors’ proposed use and denying it a reasonable accommodation, as required under federal law.
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
The county even changed its zoning ordinance to ensure that Vision Warriors would have to endure a "laborious land use application process only to be denied," ACLJ said.
The organization is a "faith community that seeks to transform men’s lives so that they can be better disciples, fathers, husbands, leaders, and friends."
The dispute came about when the county withdrew permission for the ministry to use land it bought for temporary housing for men recovering from addictions.
The case is in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
