Convicted Felon And Illegal Alien Ravi Ragbir
Once the Trump Administration came in, Ragbir lost his Obama Regime protection, and Ragbir was going to be deported., but nothing happened, thugs successfully intimidated U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Enforcement and Removal Operations (ICE ERO), as they are successfully doing and kritarchs then had a chance to interfere.
He, of course, make much political hay concerning his potential deportation and managed to parlay his political attacks on President Trump and immigration law enforcement into a decision that publicly opposing immigration enforcement provides cover for illegal aliens and makes them de facto not deportable. Deep State saboteurs are also involved, failing to do their duty removing illegal aliens.
However, Ragbir’s sojourn in the United States may be coming to an end. He has lost his appeal of his criminal conviction and the primary claim of the stay of his deportation has been rendered moot.
Fifth, considerations of finality, judicial efficiency, and potential prejudice towards the government—if a new trial or re-sentencing is ordered—also counsel against concluding there were sound reasons for delay. After examining our case law and the record before us, we conclude that Ragbir had the ability to bring all his claims at least six years before his 2012 petition for coram nobis. He provides no sound reason
for his delay. Coram nobis is an extraordinary remedy, available only when all its conditions have been met. Ragbir’s claims fail to satisfy at least one necessary requirement. Accordingly, we will affirm the District Court’s denial of the petition. [Ravidath Ragbir v. United States, Precedential Decision, by Third Circuit Court of Appeals, dated February 10, 2020]
Basically, the court is saying that Ragbir should have challenged his convictions sooner and waited too long. Interestingly, one of the reasons that he delayed challenging his convictions is that he filed a petition for pardon from Barack Obama, but did not receive that pardon. This is important, though mentioned only in passing, in that generally to obtain a pardon, one must admit culpability and ask forgiveness as part of the pardon process. Behind their decision, the judges involved must have been curious of what is in Ragbir’s pardon application, which remains as part of the official record at the Department of Justice’s Office of the Pardon Attorney.
Note that Ragbir’s claim of politically motivated attempted deportation is in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and his criminal conviction was in the Third Circuit, but the claim of political motivation was always a delaying tactic for the real attempt to have the criminal conviction overturned. One down, now Based Bill Barr needs to get the illegal stay of deportation overturned.

I lived my entire life in Southern California until 2018 when I moved to Wyoming. Nobody had to teach me about dealing with the snowy weather. You learn by doing. For instance don't shovel snow on a sunny day without sunglasses. Or always wear thick gloves.
One pleasant surprise that I experienced was that I acclimated to the cold. First anything below 40 degrees Fahrenheit seemed cold, then anything below 30 degrees, the 20 and the last snow shoveling I did was in 8 degree weather with just a long-sleeved shirt on. I'm reminded of Henry Ford's advice about chopping wood. You warm yourself twice.
Of course it helps if your ancestors come from Northern Europe.

Bloomberg caught on video calling transgender people ‘it,’ suggesting LGBTQ rights isn’t ‘a winning formula’ for 2020 election

Michael Bloomberg’s past keeps haunting him — even his very recent past.
The wealthy White House wannabe referred to transgender people as “he, she or it” last spring and suggested Democratic presidential candidates shouldn’t spend time on the campaign trail talking about the rights of “some guy in a dress,” claiming it’s “not a winning formula,” a newly unearthed video reveals.
Bloomberg made the eyebrow-raising remarks during an appearance at a forum in Manhattan hosted by the Bermuda Business Development Agency on March 21, 2019, a video from the event posted to YouTube shows. BuzzFeed News first reported the video Tuesday.
“If you go to the middle of the country … (and) your conversation during a presidential election is about some guy wearing a dress and whether he, she, or it can go to the locker room with their daughter, that’s not a winning formula for most people,” the billionaire ex-mayor says in the video. “They care about health care, they care about education, they care about safety, and all of those kinds of things.”
Bloomberg goes on to say in the video that Democrats vying for the presidential nomination should avoid talking about transgender people on the stump altogether, suggesting Trump may have been elected in part because of such conversations.
“You can understand where somebody like Trump comes from,” Bloomberg said. “You can understand when you look at the Democratic Party, they are so far left that two years ago there was nobody on their side who would take these positions, and today virtually all the candidates for president of the Democratic Party are so progressive.

BECKYISM & WHITENESS
The term “Becky” is gaining popular parlance both in the informal critiques of the academy, specifically in the field of education, which is replete with white females, (see Matias & Nishi, 2017) and in the general public (see “5 Types of Beckys” …
But who embodies the Becky? Are all white women Beckys? Although there have been social, literary, and historical ruminations of the characterization of white women as Miss Ann, the modern characterization of Becky is different and has no academic literature that explores 1) what is the characterization of Becky, 2) why such characterization is relevant to education, and 3) how that characterization impacts the hope for diversity, racial justice, and equity in the P-20 pipeline. Plainly, to date there exists no literature that formally explores the theoretical and practical implications of the Becky.
… Finally, Godfrey (2003) further interrogates the oft association of innocent and sweetness to white women in her critical historical analysis of the “sweet little white girls” who vehemently reacted to the Little Rock Nine in 1957 post Brown v. Board of Education. In her analysis she shows how the characterization of “sweet little white girls” left the vitriol, violence, and aggressive behaviors of white women during that time intact and uncovered. Clearly, the study of white women is nothing new yet the particularities of the modern conceptualization of Becky are in order.
THE PROPOSED BOOK
As such, the proposed edited book is the first to survey the increasing phenomenon of Beckyism. That is, since there is much confusion on who embodies the Becky this proposed book will identify the following: who embodies the Becky, why is such an embodiment a relevant phenomenon to explore, and how can utilizing this characterization help scholars, educators, students, and staff who are committed to diversity and inclusion understand how might racial and gender dynamics impact students, faculty, and staff of color working in predominantly white institutions (e.g., schools, universities, etc.). However, because revealing racial and gender microaggressions are, at times, retaliatory, the book encourages contributors to write their experiences with Beckys in fan fiction style. Fan fiction, as Preston (2013) suggests, are “those types of narrative writing that take existing fictional setting as the basis for further speculative fiction” (p. 9). Meaning, each chapter will have no citations and be written in a 3,000 to 4,000-word creative or literary short story form with a setting, character(s), possible dialogue, and plot. Per Critical Race Theory’s methodology of counterstorytelling as a way to counter majoritarian stories (Solorzano & Yosso, 2001) and parables to illustrate the dynamics of race in fictional ways (see Bell, 1992) these stories not only can be based upon actual lived experiences with Beckys or a composite of Beckys, but can be seen as nonthreatening ways to illuminate how the characterizations of Beckys impact folks of color or other racially just individuals. …
QUALIFICATIONS
Having explored and opened the field of the emotionality of whiteness in my first book, Feeling White, earning several distinct recognitions for my work in whiteness, and knowing the immediate negative reactions to whiteness studies particularly from whites, I opt to engage in a different format to further understandings of whiteness and its dynamics; particularly, Critical Race Theory’s storytelling and parables. The purpose here is not to vilify all white women. Instead, the goal is to highlight how behaviors, attitudes, emotions, rhetoric, and epistemological stances can, at times, mimic Beckys who, beyond their intention to do good and be liberal, engage in ways that ultimately exert whiteness. These exertions in turn are traumatic, passive aggressive, violent, or simply counterintuitive to the goals of racial justice, antiracism, or educational equity for folks of color.

This Day In VDARE.com History: Hungary, Poland Spend Money On Motherhood, Not Migrants. Why Not U.S.?

This post was first published on this day in 2019 .
Only a few years ago , motherhood was something seen as so self-evidently good that praising it was an unnecessary banality .
Yet , like the Boy Scouts , supporting motherhood has now gone from uncontroversial to “ far-right ” in Western countries , akin even to Nazism .
Thus Sweden ’ s “ Social Security Minister ” Annika Strandhäll blasted policies by the Hungarian government to support motherhood , calling it “ alarming ” and something that “ reeks of the 30s ” .
[ Intl Row as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ More Kids ’ Call to Nazi Policy , Sputnik , February 18 , 2019 ] The Hungarian government formally protested the comments and Hungary ’ s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto concisely described the difference between the two countries : “ Hungary is spending money on families and Sweden is spending it on migrants ” .
[ Hungary plan ‘ reeks of 1930s ’ : Swedish minister , The Local , February 16 , 2019 ] Unfortunately , the same can be said of most Western countries .
It is worth noting that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , is not free .
There is no free speech for patriots in Sweden .
There is a de facto ban on even discussing immigration policy in Sweden that has only been challenged by the rise of the Sweden Democrats .
Despite a record performance by the patriotic party in the last election , the other parties formed a coalition explicitly designed to keep them from any influence .
[ Sweden ’ s parties reach deal to keep far-Right Sweden Democrats from influence , by Richard Orange , Telegraph , January 11 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , different parties in parliamentary systems have joined together to form a government of “ national unity.
” In the face of rising restrictionist sentiment , Sweden ’ s government is something closer to a government of national annihilation .
Hungary has chosen a different path .
In a recent speech , Hungarian president Viktor Orban announced that Hungarian women with four or more children will no longer pay any income tax .
Needless to say , Western media outlets were scathing about the policy .
The New York Times sneered that Orban @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anything to avoid immigration ” .
[ Orban encourages mothers in Hungary to have four or more babies , by Patrick Kingsley , New York Times , February 11 , 2019 ] It also quoted one Andrea Peto , a “ gender studies professor at the Central European University , ” who argued that tax breaks somehow constitute “ a regulation of women ’ s bodies.
” Unmentioned in The New York Times report : the Central European University was bankrolled by George Soros and serves as a kind of forward base for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hungary Forced George Soros-Backed Central European University To Leave The Country , by Susan Adams , Forbes , December 4 , 2018 ] Also unmentioned : Hungary cutting funding for “ gender studies ” programs , which could also explain the professor ’ s opposition .
Still , The New York Times is hardly alone in scoffing at the policy .
Now This video said “ the motives behind the [ pro-child ] policy stem from xenophobia.
” The London Daily Express quoted a random academic to denounce Orban ’ s policies as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu—a direct insult considering Orban ’ s role in helping to topple the Communist puppet government in the late 1980s .
[ Hungary shock warning : Orban tax reform for families have Ceausescu echoes claims academic , by Ciaran McGrath , February 15 , 2019 ] In an especially groan-inducing reference , Peter Murphy at AFP wrote , “ Meme-creators on Hungarian social media have even caught a whiff of the hit TV series ‘ The Handmaid 's Tale ’ , based on Margaret Atwood 's dystopian novel of an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ [ .Hungary ’ s Orban bets on baby boom to boost population , Yahoo News , February 18 , 2019 ] One is tempted to ask why foreigners care so much .
What difference does it make to them if Hungary ’ s government wants to promote Hungarian babies instead of importing foreigners ?
Furthermore , if some Hungarian women don ’ t want to take advantage of the program , it is not as though they are being forced to breed , the television fueled fears/fantasies of hysterics notwithstanding .
Of course @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ diversity ” creed is that no-one is allowed to escape .
There must not be one Western country ( or U.S. state ) spared mass Third World immigration , lest that country ’ s survival put the entire program into question .
And Hungary is particularly targeted because it has become the spearhead of a larger movement against the current leadership of the European Union , especially the pro-migration governments of France and Sweden .
Thus , Sweden ’ s Foreign Minister is calling for an “ offensive for democracy ” in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
By “ democracy , ” what is meant is not popular self-rule , but rule by the European Union .
“ I can not forgive them for this , ” said Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom of the decision to allow Brexit [ Sweden ‘ can not forgive ’ UK politicians for ‘ historic mistake ’ of allowing Brexit , by Chris Tomlinson , Breitbart , January 31 , 2019 ] .
Yet Hungary is also not without allies , and other countries are also trying to increase birthrates instead of importing migrants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the international press , the conservative government directly subsidizes families , “ albeit only of the traditional heterosexual sort , ” as The Economist sneers .
This includes direct handouts for children , with proposed bonuses for having several children in quick succession .
[ Subsidizing babies has bolstered Poland ’ s ruling party—so far , May 10 , 2018 ] Estonia recently increased money provided for having families and the result has been something of a baby boom .
[ Rising amount of two-child Estonian families adding a third to the brood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ] What ’ s more , a recent survey showed Estonian women want to have even larger families if economic circumstances permit .
[ Survey : Half of Estonian women would like three or more children , ERR , October 20 , 2018 ] Italy is also taking steps to prevent population decline , though its policies are mixed .
One town in Italy is offering huge subsides for foreigners willing to settle in the area , with the mayor hoping for “ young professionals , ” though American reporter suggests “ one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ towns with the migrants who flock to Italy on boats across the Mediterranean , fleeing peril or hardship in Africa or the Middle East ” .
[ Town in Italy will pay you $ 10,000 to move there , NBC 2 , January 28 , 2019 ] But Italy ’ s national government has a more productive proposal , offering unused agricultural land for free to rural families that have a third child .
[ Italy launches ‘ land for children ’ plan to fight declining birthrate , by Sabina Castelfranco , Voice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ] Of course , once again , anything that might help actual Italians maintain families draws condemnation in the international media .
Thus , Eric Lyman penned a largely negative article making comparisons to fascism and linking the policy to Benito Mussolini ’ s “ Battle for Births ” .
[ News Analysis : Italy recalls controversial past with policies to increase birthrate , Xinhua , November 15 , 2018 ] In the United States , the “ neglected key ” to Republican victory is what Steve Sailer has called “ affordable family @ @ @ @ @ @ @ direct response to this kind of impulse .
Yet there has been no discussion of such policies since President Trump took office , even though Democrats are likely to target the voters with policies designed to lift the burden of student loans and education .
Instead , President Trump is governing as a conventional Republican , a dangerous approach for 2020 , especially as his combative style alienates the suburban voters normally welcoming of moderate , fiscally conservative policies .
[ Trump Edges Toward A Conventional Republican Approach , At Least On Policy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Times , February 19 , 2019 ] Ultimately , the question of migration or boosting the birthrate is the National Question in a different form .
What is the purpose of the nation-state ?
If it is merely a geographic entity , then it makes sense to simply replace a population that isn ’ t reproducing to keep the economy going , though assuming Third Worlders will produce at the same levels is a dangerous gamble .
However , if the nation-state is the political expression of a nation , of a particular @ @ @ @ @ @ @ birthrate and make it easier to create families is part of its core purpose .
Even if such efforts don ’ t fully succeed and population declines , that is not a disaster , and is preferable to simply being replaced .
But journalists and national governments in countries like Sweden seem to believe Western nations ( and only Western nations ) have a moral obligation to replace themselves .
Thus , the usual support for welfare programs suddenly vanishes if it might help white people have children .
Which tells us the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t about “ capitalism ” or “ socialism ” —but whether Western nations will survive or be extirpated .

Needless to say, Western media outlets were scathing about the policy. The New York Times sneered that Orban’s was willing to do “anything to avoid immigration”. [Orban encourages mothers in Hungary to have four or more babies, by Patrick Kingsley, New York Times, February 11, 2019] It also quoted one Andrea Peto, a “gender studies professor at the Central European University,” who argued that tax breaks somehow constitute “a regulation of women’s bodies.” Unmentioned in The New York Times report: the Central European University was bankrolled by George Soros and serves as a kind of forward base for left-liberal activists in Hungary. [Why Hungary Forced George Soros-Backed Central European University To Leave The Country, by Susan Adams, Forbes, December 4, 2018] Also unmentioned: Hungary cutting funding for “gender studies” programs, which could also explain the professor’s opposition.
Still, The New York Times is hardly alone in scoffing at the policy. Now This video said “the motives behind the [pro-child] policy stem from xenophobia.” The London Daily Express quoted a random academic to denounce Orban’s policies as the equivalent of those favored by Romanian communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu—a direct insult considering Orban’s role in helping to topple the Communist puppet government in the late 1980s. [Hungary shock warning: Orban tax reform for families have Ceausescu echoes claims academic, by Ciaran McGrath, February 15, 2019] In an especially groan-inducing reference, Peter Murphy at AFP wrote, “Meme-creators on Hungarian social media have even caught a whiff of the hit TV series ‘The Handmaid's Tale’, based on Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel of an America ruled by a misogynistic theocracy” [.Hungary’s Orban bets on baby boom to boost population, Yahoo News, February 18, 2019]
One is tempted to ask why foreigners care so much. What difference does it make to them if Hungary’s government wants to promote Hungarian babies instead of importing foreigners?
Furthermore, if some Hungarian women don’t want to take advantage of the program, it is not as though they are being forced to breed, the television fueled fears/fantasies of hysterics notwithstanding.
Of course, one of the corollaries of the “diversity” creed is that no-one is allowed to escape. There must not be one Western country (or U.S. state)spared mass Third World immigration, lest that country’s survival put the entire program into question. And Hungary is particularly targeted because it has become the spearhead of a larger movement against the current leadership of the European Union, especially the pro-migration governments of France and Sweden.
Thus, Sweden’s Foreign Minister is calling for an “offensive for democracy” in Europe designed to push back against populism. By “democracy,” what is meant is not popular self-rule, but rule by the European Union. “I cannot forgive them for this,” said Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom of the decision to allow Brexit [Sweden ‘cannot forgive’ UK politicians for ‘historic mistake’ of allowing Brexit, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, January 31, 2019].
Yet Hungary is also not without allies, and other countries are also trying to increase birthrates instead of importing migrants. In Poland, another enemy of the international press, the conservative government directly subsidizes families, “albeit only of the traditional heterosexual sort,” as The Economist sneers. This includes direct handouts for children, with proposed bonuses for having several children in quick succession. [Subsidizing babies has bolstered Poland’s ruling party—so far, May 10, 2018]
Estonia recently increased money provided for having families and the result has been something of a baby boom. [Rising amount of two-child Estonian families adding a third to the brood, ERR, May 31, 2018] What’s more, a recent survey showed Estonian women want to have even larger families if economic circumstances permit. [Survey: Half of Estonian women would like three or more children, ERR, October 20, 2018]
Italy is also taking steps to prevent population decline, though its policies are mixed. One town in Italy is offering huge subsides for foreigners willing to settle in the area, with the mayor hoping for “young professionals,” though American reporter suggests “one solution might be to populate the dying towns with the migrants who flock to Italy on boats across the Mediterranean, fleeing peril or hardship in Africa or the Middle East” . [Town in Italy will pay you $10,000 to move there, NBC 2, January 28, 2019] But Italy’s national government has a more productive proposal, offering unused agricultural land for free to rural families that have a third child. [Italy launches ‘land for children’ plan to fight declining birthrate, by Sabina Castelfranco, Voice of America, November 2, 2018]
Of course, once again, anything that might help actual Italians maintain families draws condemnation in the international media. Thus, Eric Lyman penned a largely negative article making comparisons to fascism and linking the policy to Benito Mussolini’s “Battle for Births” . [News Analysis: Italy recalls controversial past with policies to increase birthrate, Xinhua, November 15, 2018]
In the United States, the “neglected key” to Republican victory is what Steve Sailer has called “affordable family formation.” These European policies are a direct response to this kind of impulse. Yet there has been no discussion of such policies since President Trump took office, even though Democrats are likely to target the voters with policies designed to lift the burden of student loans and education.
Instead, President Trump is governing as a conventional Republican, a dangerous approach for 2020, especially as his combative style alienates the suburban voters normally welcoming of moderate, fiscally conservative policies. [Trump Edges Toward A Conventional Republican Approach, At Least On Policy, by Jeremy Peters, New York Times, February 19, 2019]
Ultimately, the question of migration or boosting the birthrate is the National Question in a different form. What is the purpose of the nation-state? If it is merely a geographic entity, then it makes sense to simply replace a population that isn’t reproducing to keep the economy going, though assuming Third Worlders will produce at the same levels is a dangerous gamble. However, if the nation-state is the political expression of a nation, of a particular people, then working to increase the birthrate and make it easier to create families is part of its core purpose. Even if such efforts don’t fully succeed and population declines, that is not a disaster, and is preferable to simply being replaced.
But journalists and national governments in countries like Sweden seem to believe Western nations (and only Western nations) have a moral obligation to replace themselves. Thus, the usual support for welfare programs suddenly vanishes if it might help white people have children.
Which tells us the real battle of this century isn’t about “capitalism” or “socialism”—but whether Western nations will survive or be extirpated.

… The Elementary Particles is a veiled autobiography , and a frontal attack on the culture of the 1960s .

Houellebecq in traditionalist France , like Obama in hokey Hawaii , seems to have held out hope that the absent progressive parent was doing something of relevance to him , that his archaic upbringing was somehow linked to his mother ’ s modernizing adventure , even if the two seemed to be in contradiction .
Each boy wanted to believe that no one was “ relegating ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The hidden system behind their upbringing would reveal its wholeness in the end , in a union of the nomadic and the sedentary .
When that didn ’ t happen , each of the men turned against one half of his childhood , Obama against the traditional/provincial side , Houellebecq against the progressive/cosmopolitan side—though each remained fluent and comfortable enough in the other idiom to consort with , and “ pass ” among , those who still believed in it .

A Bellow from France
by Christopher Caldwell
… The Elementary Particles is a veiled autobiography, and a frontal attack on the culture of the 1960s. To understand the centrality of that decade to Houellebecq’s worldview, it helps to know something about his childhood, which resembles that of no public figure so much as that of Barack Obama. He was born on Reunion Island, in the middle of the Indian Ocean, in 1956. His mother was a progressive doctor afflicted with wanderlust. Much like Obama’s mother, who wrote ethnological studies of the smithies of Indonesia for the Ford Foundation, Mrs. Houellebecq shipped her son back home to be raised by more traditional grandparents, while she went off to save the (Third) World. Houellebecq in traditionalist France, like Obama in hokey Hawaii, seems to have held out hope that the absent progressive parent was doing something of relevance to him, that his archaic upbringing was somehow linked to his mother’s modernizing adventure, even if the two seemed to be in contradiction. Each boy wanted to believe that no one was “relegating” or “abandoning” him to anything. The hidden system behind their upbringing would reveal its wholeness in the end, in a union of the nomadic and the sedentary. When that didn’t happen, each of the men turned against one half of his childhood, Obama against the traditional/provincial side, Houellebecq against the progressive/cosmopolitan side—though each remained fluent and comfortable enough in the other idiom to consort with, and “pass” among, those who still believed in it.

Disproportionate Minority Contact Report finds racial disproportionality across all points in the local adult criminal justice system: The report was presented to Charlottesville City Council and produced recommendations on how to combat racial disproportionality and disparity in the local justice system, Cavalier Daily, February 19, 2020]:
The City of Charlottesville and the County of Albemarle have completed the first phase of the Disproportionate Minority Study — a multi-disciplinary project that examined how minorities are treated within the criminal justice system — to find that black individuals are overrepresented at every point in the local criminal justice system.
Using data from 2014 to 2016, the 14-member Adult Disproportionate Minority Contact Research and Planning Committee worked with MGT Consulting, a Florida-based public sector consulting firm, to determine the extent of racial disproportionality and disparity in the local adult criminal justice system.
The City of Charlottesville defines racial disproportionality as one race being over- or under-represented compared to the overall racial makeup of the whole community. Racial disparity is when individuals in similar situations receive different outcomes based on race.
The study is unique in its examination of racial disparity in the criminal justice system. While there have been studies on disproportionality, very few studies of racial disparity in local justice systems have been conducted.
During the period of 2014 to 2016, 51.5 percent of those arrested in Charlottesville were black men, where black men comprise only 8.5 percent of the City’s population. In Albemarle County — a region where black men make up 4.4 percent of the population — the demographic comprised 37.6 percent of arrests.
Racial disparity was also found across five areas of contact between individuals and law enforcement. African American men were found to be more likely to have serious charges leveled against them and experience a higher number of companion charges. They had longer bail and bond release decisions, experienced a longer length of time awaiting trial and experienced more guilty outcomes at trial.
Racial disparity for black men was not found at two critical points — the duration of time served for an offense and the duration of sentence imposed.
Recommendations from the committee
The nine recommendations the Disproportionate Minority Study produced to combat racial disparity and disproportionality in the local criminal justice system include to increase and support meaningful reentry programs, increase transparency of the City and County police departments and develop, encourage and support special initiative programs.
The Committee also recommends an increase in diversity in law enforcement, the adoption of programs that are alternatives to incarceration and to provide additional training opportunities for law enforcement and other actors in the criminal justice system. Finally, it was recommended that the City and County review the best practices from other communities and increase the access to data at each decision point in the criminal justice map.
The study also recommended that additional research be conducted to build upon the findings and recommendations of the report.
“We appreciate the work of the team in analyzing this dataset and presenting recommendations to address the findings,” said Siri Russell, director of Albemarle’s Office of Equity and Inclusion. “That so many of the recommendations capture efforts already underway in the City and the County speaks to our renewed commitment to equitable outcomes for our community.”
The City of Charlottesville and the County of Albemarle have already undertaken strategies that address several of the recommendations made in the report. Albemarle and Charlottesville now routinely release their data to the community — such as arrest data by race — instead of waiting for requests.
The formation of a Civilian Police Review Board, a body of community representatives tasked with investigating complaints concerning police misconduct, is among the study’s recommendations.
In Charlottesville, an initial Civilian Review Board was created in 2018 and formally established in November 2019, and the City has begun interviewing candidates for a permanent board.

Trump In Phoenix: "Washington Democrats Put The Needs Of Illegal Immigrants Before The Well-Being Of American Citizens"

Here are two things President Trump said about legal immigration in Phoenix , an area that has been Ground Zero for both legal and illegal immigration : Now , I have to tell you that it worries me when a President elected on a platform of lowering legal as well as illegal immigration talks about `` millions and millions of legal immigrants '' but it 's not a call for an increase in legal immigration .
His point here is that the first victim of a Mexican criminal alien in America is likely to be the Mexican legal immigrant who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the same point Ann Coulter has made repeatedly about black victims of black crime , and Michael Bloomberg used to make about black and Hispanic victims of black and Hispanic crime in New York .
The phrase `` Washington Democrats '' is carefully crafted—it means Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi .
It does n't mean anyone in Arizona who used to vote Democrat , but is now on the Trump Train .
In 1999 , David Brooks was shocked when he attended a Buchanan rally and saw American working men there .

” [ Buchanan Feeds Class War in the Information Age , LA Times , October 31 , 1999 ] Actually , it 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ category such people belong to .
They 're called 'Democrats , ' and the contempt for them that our Mr. Brooks exudes helps explain why they never show up in the crowds around other Republican candidates .
[ Revolt of the 300-Pound Beefy Guys ] Those guys were `` Reagan Democrats '' in an era when the actual Democratic Party was suffering a spasm of anti-Americanism actually much milder than the one it 's suffering today .
Their sons are Trump Democrats , because Hillary thought they were `` deplorable '' .
Trump @ @ @ @ @

Here are two things President Trump said about legal immigration in Phoenix, an area that has been Ground Zero for both legal and illegal immigration:
Under my administration, we are finally taking care of our own citizens, including millions and millions of legal immigrants who follow our laws, pay their taxes and are entitled to a government that protects their families and their communities. Every day, Democrats' open-borders policies are harming and killing innocent lives.
Together, we will elect a Republican Congress to create a fair, safe, sane and lawful system of immigration. We will continue to enact trade deals that result in more products proudly stamped with those beautiful, beautiful words and phrase—I love the phrase—Made in the USA, Made in the USA. Speech: Donald Trump Holds a Political Rally in Phoenix, Arizona - February 19, 2020
Now, I have to tell you that it worries me when a President elected on a platform of lowering legal as well as illegal immigration talks about "millions and millions of legal immigrants," but it's not a call for an increase in legal immigration.
His point here is that the first victim of a Mexican criminal alien in America is likely to be the Mexican legal immigrant who lives next door to him.
This is the same point Ann Coulter has made repeatedly about black victims of black crime, and Michael Bloomberg used to make about black and Hispanic victims of black and Hispanic crime in New York.
And here's Trump on illegal immigrants:
Before I came into office, the far left's policy of Open Borders allowed deadly drugs to flow freely into our country, poisoning our children, including, as you know very well, right here in Arizona. Washington Democrats put the needs of illegal immigrants before the well-being of American citizens.
The phrase "Washington Democrats" is carefully crafted—it means Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. It doesn't mean anyone in Arizona who used to vote Democrat, but is now on the Trump Train.
In 1999, David Brooks was shocked when he attended a Buchanan rally and saw American working men there. Pat, he said, drew to his rallies:
“…beefy, 300-pound guys with tattoos up their arms and sleeveless T-shirts. He draws the guys with shaggy biker beards, and the Teamsters who park their rigs in the lot and get hoarse chanting, ‘Go, Pat, go!’ It may be hard to classify exactly which political category these people belong to, but they are certainly not Republicans.” [Buchanan Feeds Class War in the Information Age, LA Times, October 31, 1999]
Sam Francis replied in Chronicles, February, 2000:
Actually, it's not so hard to classify which political category such people belong to. They're called 'Democrats,' and the contempt for them that our Mr. Brooks exudes helps explain why they never show up in the crowds around other Republican candidates. [Revolt of the 300-Pound Beefy Guys]
Those guys were "Reagan Democrats" in an era when the actual Democratic Party was suffering a spasm of anti-Americanism actually much milder than the one it's suffering today. Their sons are Trump Democrats, because Hillary thought they were "deplorable." Trump isn't attacking them.
