Reagan Speechwriter Says Biden’s Veep Announcement Plagiarized A Portion Of One Of The Gipper’s Speeches

Biden has been caught plagiarizing so many other things before now , should it really surprise us that he gets caught doing it again this year ?
From political speeches , to Bernie ’ s campaign promises does the man have any original thoughts ?
The wheels fell off of Biden ’ s first Presidential run when he got busted using an almost word-for-word rewrite of a speech delivered by British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock .
Biden had to drop out of the race in 1987 when Dukakis advanced to face the George H W Bush campaign .
What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in ’ 88 was won by the same person who was introduced with the speech Biden just lifted to introduce Kamala as his running mate .
That ’ s right .
Reagan ’ s speechwriter , Jeffrey Lord , recognized the speech introducing Kamala as an echo of words he himself had once written .
Wow .
Former Vice President Joe Biden , replete with a serious history of plagiarism as noted here in The New York Times in 1987 – quoting my younger self in the Reagan White House who nailed him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at it again .
Reagan speechwriter Ken Khachigian alerted Reagan alumni , of which I am one , that in listening to Joe Biden ’ s introduction of running mate Senator Kamala Harris he heard …ahhhhh…something familiar .
Specifically , it was this – as seen here : “ We can define America simply in one word : “ Possibilities.
” Possibilities .
Let me say it again ; possibilities .
That ’ s America.
” Ken , one of the crack speechwriters for President Reagan , knew exactly where he had heard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It was September 3 , 1984 , where the President was speaking at a Reagan–Bush campaign rally in Fountain Valley , California .
Said Reagan : “ Now , we ’ ve heard what others have offered to the American people today , in this year .
They have said that America is nothing if it isn ’ t promises .
Well , America isn ’ t about promises ; it never has been .
America is about promise .
It ’ s about possibility .
—JeffryLord It ’ s bad that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of his own and has to copy other people .
It ’ s worse that he has a habit of poaching other people ’ s words .
Worse still that the words he lifted THIS time were from the very person who busted him for plagiarism the FIRST time .

It’s bad that Joe so seldom has an original thought of his own and has to copy other people.
It’s worse that he has a habit of poaching other people’s words.
Worse still that the words he lifted THIS time were from the very person who busted him for plagiarism the FIRST time.

Maine ’ s first fatal shark attack on record indicates a resurgence of the storied critters along America ’ s Northeast coast .

clashdaily--2020-08-15--EAT THE RICH: Leftists Introduce Tax On Total WEALTH, Not Income — And It Gets Worse

Did you need proof that Leftist governments think they have an absolute right to your money and are kind enough to let you keep some of it ?
Here you go .
Normally , the Marxist mentality of the government having a RIGHT a citizen ’ s wealth normally remains masked until it pops up in their word choices , like how they object to tax cuts taking money from the government , as though the government is the rightful owner of that money .
But the activist left has become emboldened recently and their policies are now unabashedly reflecting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s quip about the government to be absolutely correct : ‘ Government is like a baby : an alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
’ Some Californian politicians are pushing a wealth tax ( not an income tax ) that could hit citizens even AFTER they leave the state .
Fox Business Network anchor Neil Cavuto questioned California State Assemblyman Rob Bonta on “ Cavuto : Coast to Coast ” Friday over his proposal to institute a 0.4 % wealth tax on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 30 million .
The Alameda Democrat told Cavuto the proposed tax “ affects about 0.15 % of the California population — not the top 10 % , not the top 1 % , the top .15 % , about 30,000 people ” and would generate $ 7.5 billion in revenue for the state .
Here he is defending the indefensible : “ In California we ’ ve had taxes on millionaires in the past .
We raised taxes in 2012 by 3 % — and the number of millionaires and billionaires in California @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the nation ’ s billionaires , 17 % of the millionaires , those numbers are up and we ’ ve grown to be the fifth-largest economy in the world .
So , while worthy of consideration it has not panned out.
” Bonta added that his proposal would apply a “ phased-in approach ” to make sure Sacramento recoups its share of the income of a California resident who leaves the state .
“ If you move in Year One , 90 % of the tax bill applies… ” he said , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to 80 % and so on until it is phased out to zero .
Leave it to the Left to claim they want to put right the past wrongs of slavery… …while insisting that they have an absolute right to seize the benefit from someone else ’ s labor .
When Pharoah enslaved his people , how much of their income did they get to keep for themselves compared to what our government ‘ lets us keep ’ today ?

clashdaily--2020-08-15--Biden And His Bootlickers Are Recycling That ‘Fine People Hoax’ — We Put Them On BLAST

It ’ s the lie upon which Joe Biden launched his presidential campaign .
And it ’ s raising its head again .
Time to give it the beatdown it so richly deserves .
If it comes to going head-to-head in a fair fight with Trump comparing his track record against the President ’ s , Biden doesn ’ t stand a chance .
And he knows it .
The Democrats are going back to the well with a tried-and-true tactic they have been trotting out for years .
Like Tonya Harding in that sports story from so long ago @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through dirty tricks instead of facing him in a fair fight .
The difference is this : Instead of some hired muscle from the street , the hitman in THIS story is the supposedly ‘ free ’ Press .
Biden is desperate to have the American public believe that Trump personally hates racial minorities .
His entire campaign depends on it .
Why ?
Because , if the lock Democrats have on the minority vote slips even a little , the Democrats lose their stranglehold on the urban voting districts .
Then they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They know this .
But until the day that Trump came down that escalator , nobody seriously considered Trump a bigot .
In fact , the only claims of Trump being a racial bigot either originate AFTER the day he announced his Presidential bid or involve a re-thinking of historical events that originated AFTER he announced he would be running as a Republican .
That is why the Democrats NEED to give their base reasons to distrust , fear , or even hate the President .
What better way than to look for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the most universally hated groups in the country — the KKK ?
So we see that they have a MOTIVE to lie about this .
What lie do they keep coming back to ?
Charlottesville .
Team Biden is once again pushing that ‘ fine people ’ hoax… And the bootlicking media are backing him up by pretending not to know that , IN THAT VERY MEETING , Trump explicitly denounced the racists , criminals , and troublemakers at the event .
We know it ’ s a lie because they intentionally leave @ @ @ @ @ @ @ violent bigots whether they were the kind that prefers to engage in their hatred while wearing white robes or black block gear .
Here ’ s bootlicking Jim Acosta — who is strangely incurious about a leading FBI lawyer pleading guilty to falsifying the information upon which the entire Russian Collusion witch hunt was predicated — pushing the ‘ very fine people ’ narrative .
Acosta doesn ’ t care about the content of the video itself .
He just cares about that out-of-context quote being weaponized against a politician and political party @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to inject the phrase ‘ very fine people ’ into the presidential race .
Why ?
Because he is a corrupt , bootlicking hack who cares more about his paycheck and his political objectives than he does about the facts .
Here is the actual video that Jimbo tweeted out : Notice how carefully Trump defined his terms — despite all of the haranguing and interrupting he is getting from the hostile press — to specifically denounce the white supremacist faction as well as the bogus protesters who showed up with helmets and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ was explicitly a reference to activists being on either side of the political question of whether the statue should remain or be removed .
Whichever side of that Confederate statue question you were on , some demonstrators behaved themselves according to the First Amendment provisions , and some — this was true of people on either side of the issue — had ZERO interest in protesting peacefully .
They came for a fight and were hellbent on getting one .
Jim Acosta can not plead ignorance the truth of Trump ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ simple reason .
Trump was answering HIS question .
Jim wants this quote to be permanently tattooed to Trump ’ s forehead because this petty little glory-hound wants the credit for taking down Trump .
He isn ’ t a journalist , he is the journalistic equivalent of the guy who busted Nancy Kerrigan ’ s knee .
If you want to know just how dishonest they are being here in turning a deliberate blind eye to the ‘ Black Block ’ -style provocateurs who showed up with helmets , shields and weapons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Charlottesville that day , you need look no further than their coverage of the riots in Seattle , Portland , and NYC .

Hey Biden : Can You Explain Why You Called These KKK Supporters ‘ Fine People ’ ?
( Video ) But maliciously deceptive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at CNN : CNN ’ s Chris Cuomo ‘ Deceptively Edited ’ A Video Of Trump… To Push An Obvious Lie

It’s the lie upon which Joe Biden launched his presidential campaign. And it’s raising its head again. Time to give it the beatdown it so richly deserves.
If it comes to going head-to-head in a fair fight with Trump comparing his track record against the President’s, Biden doesn’t stand a chance. And he knows it.
The Democrats are going back to the well with a tried-and-true tactic they have been trotting out for years. Like Tonya Harding in that sports story from so long ago, they would rather injure their opponent through dirty tricks instead of facing him in a fair fight.
In 1994, [Harding] earned notoriety when ex-husband Jeff Gillooly hired a hitman to assault skater Nancy Kerrigan at the Olympic trials. Harding pleaded guilty to hindering the investigation into Kerrigan’s attack, and was subsequently banned from competing in the U.S. for life. —Biography
The difference is this: Instead of some hired muscle from the street, the hitman in THIS story is the supposedly ‘free’ Press.
Biden is desperate to have the American public believe that Trump personally hates racial minorities. His entire campaign depends on it. Why? Because, if the lock Democrats have on the minority vote slips even a little, the Democrats lose their stranglehold on the urban voting districts. Then they stand to lose big. Everywhere.
They know this.
But until the day that Trump came down that escalator, nobody seriously considered Trump a bigot. In fact, the only claims of Trump being a racial bigot either originate AFTER the day he announced his Presidential bid or involve a re-thinking of historical events that originated AFTER he announced he would be running as a Republican.
That is why the Democrats NEED to give their base reasons to distrust, fear, or even hate the President. What better way than to look for ways to connect him to one of the most universally hated groups in the country — the KKK?
So we see that they have a MOTIVE to lie about this.
What lie do they keep coming back to? Charlottesville.
Team Biden is once again pushing that ‘fine people’ hoax…
Three years ago today, white supremacists descended on Charlottesville with torches in hand and hate in their hearts. Our president said they were "very fine people." It was clear then, and it's clear now: We are in a battle for the soul of our nation, and we must win. — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) August 12, 2020
And the bootlicking media are backing him up by pretending not to know that, IN THAT VERY MEETING, Trump explicitly denounced the racists, criminals, and troublemakers at the event. We know it’s a lie because they intentionally leave this part out:
Hey, @TwitterSupport – I think you need to fact check @JoeBiden on the “very fine people” hoax. pic.twitter.com/Afy5rdbSFn — Sara welcomes DURHAM ?? (P: brightislandusa) (@brightislandusa) August 13, 2020
Trump denounced the violent bigots whether they were the kind that prefers to engage in their hatred while wearing white robes or black block gear.
Here’s bootlicking Jim Acosta — who is strangely incurious about a leading FBI lawyer pleading guilty to falsifying the information upon which the entire Russian Collusion witch hunt was predicated — pushing the ‘very fine people’ narrative.
Three years ago today… Trump says there were “very fine people on both sides” in Charlottesville. https://t.co/IMhg46QgwC — Jim Acosta (@Acosta) August 15, 2020
Acosta doesn’t care about the content of the video itself. He just cares about that out-of-context quote being weaponized against a politician and political party he personally hates.
His aim is to inject the phrase ‘very fine people’ into the presidential race. Why? Because he is a corrupt, bootlicking hack who cares more about his paycheck and his political objectives than he does about the facts.
Here is the actual video that Jimbo tweeted out:
Notice how carefully Trump defined his terms — despite all of the haranguing and interrupting he is getting from the hostile press — to specifically denounce the white supremacist faction as well as the bogus protesters who showed up with helmets and batons.
The ‘on both sides’ was explicitly a reference to activists being on either side of the political question of whether the statue should remain or be removed.
Whichever side of that Confederate statue question you were on, some demonstrators behaved themselves according to the First Amendment provisions, and some — this was true of people on either side of the issue — had ZERO interest in protesting peacefully. They came for a fight and were hellbent on getting one.
Jim Acosta cannot plead ignorance the truth of Trump’s context in this question for a very simple reason. Trump was answering HIS question.
Jim wants this quote to be permanently tattooed to Trump’s forehead because this petty little glory-hound wants the credit for taking down Trump. He isn’t a journalist, he is the journalistic equivalent of the guy who busted Nancy Kerrigan’s knee.
If you want to know just how dishonest they are being here in turning a deliberate blind eye to the ‘Black Block’-style provocateurs who showed up with helmets, shields and weapons to (literally!) inflame tensions in Charlottesville that day, you need look no further than their coverage of the riots in Seattle, Portland, and NYC.
The same press who won’t admit that there are violent thugs in the ‘peaceful’ George Floyd protests also won’t admit that the non-violent ordinary people who registered their demonstration in that park might have some perfectly mundane reasons to oppose removing statues in Charlottesville having literally nothing to do with the reasons the KKK would oppose them.
We have debunked this lie before, in depth, from different angles.

“ Do you know that before your white ass came here , this was all black people ?
” the man says .
“ Do you know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ basically bought all the land from the black people for less than what it was worth , kicked them out so you could live here ?

You’re right, we see what Democrat run cities look like, violence mobs telling white people they have to give up their homes, criminals not prosecuted, buildings burned down.

These clowns have decided to identify themselves as victims and look for people to blame for the dissatisfaction in their life. That’s the easy way out of taking responsibility for where you are at in life, but it’s also a prison. It keeps you from assessing what choices aren’t serving you well, and what deliberate choices you can make to better your lot in life.
This is a country where people come from around the world, work their asses off for a couple of decades and build something that gives them a lifestyle they could never have had in the place they came from.

Is it at all possible that the problem is NOT that the game is rigged against them, but they’re not doing well because they’re playing by the wrong rules?

Is it going to the right voter ?
Do lawful voters miss out on their chance to vote because their details weren ’ t updated ?
Are ballots sent out to the new AND the old address ?
If so , what happens to those extra ballots ?
Are they falling into the hands of honest people , or unscrupulous ones who would jump at the chance at an extra vote or two if it means the guy they want to beat loses ?

There are many people on the left saying , “ all cops are bastards ” –but this Deputy seems like a pretty awesome guy .
While the pandemic rages on and the left want to keep us locked down until November 4 , they ’ re shouting for defunding the police , and calling riots “ peaceful protests , ” life continues to go on for normal Americans .
There are Americans out there struggling , and some that are trying to make their fellow Americans ’ lives better .
One of those people is Deputy Carl Tipton who saw @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to fix it .
It ’ s a problem that is far too common in the U.S.–a veteran was living on the streets .
Deputy Carl Tipton said he spotted military veteran Richard Pajula on the streets of downtown Sanford with his walker and red suitcase three weeks ago .
Trending : EAT THE RICH : Leftists Introduce Tax On Total WEALTH , Not Income — And It Gets Worse “ Looked like he was lost like he needed somewhere to go , ” said Deputy Tipton .
“ My heart went out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ off the streets by raising money to help pay his rent , the community raised enough to buy him a 34-foot travel trailer .
It was presented to him at a ceremony Friday .
“ I ’ ve never had anything like this .
It ’ s very wonderful , ” said Pajula .
Source : Fox 35 Orlando This is such an amazing thing that Deputy Tipton has done for this homeless veteran .
Richard Pajula has his dignity and a place to call home because one man saw a need and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some great stuff right there !
But that ’ s only the beginning for Deputy Tipton .
He hopes that this is the beginning of something much bigger–a ministry to help those in need .
He was moved by seeing Richard Pajula ’ s red suitcase , so that ’ s what he ’ s calling the ministry he ’ s planning on starting–The Red Suitcase Foundation .

There are many people on the left saying, “all cops are bastards”–but this Deputy seems like a pretty awesome guy.
While the pandemic rages on and the left want to keep us locked down until November 4, they’re shouting for defunding the police, and calling riots “peaceful protests,” life continues to go on for normal Americans. There are Americans out there struggling, and some that are trying to make their fellow Americans’ lives better.
One of those people is Deputy Carl Tipton who saw something wrong in his community and decided to fix it. It’s a problem that is far too common in the U.S.–a veteran was living on the streets.
Deputy Carl Tipton said he spotted military veteran Richard Pajula on the streets of downtown Sanford with his walker and red suitcase three weeks ago. “Looked like he was lost like he needed somewhere to go,” said Deputy Tipton. “My heart went out to him.” After helping him get off the streets by raising money to help pay his rent, the community raised enough to buy him a 34-foot travel trailer. It was presented to him at a ceremony Friday. “I’ve never had anything like this. It’s very wonderful,” said Pajula.

Watch the local news report:
This is such an amazing thing that Deputy Tipton has done for this homeless veteran. Richard Pajula has his dignity and a place to call home because one man saw a need and pushed to meet it.
That is some great stuff right there!
But that’s only the beginning for Deputy Tipton.
He hopes that this is the beginning of something much bigger–a ministry to help those in need. He was moved by seeing Richard Pajula’s red suitcase, so that’s what he’s calling the ministry he’s planning on starting–The Red Suitcase Foundation.
ClashDaily salutes you, Deputy Tipton, for your service to your community and your Christ-like example. Kudos!

clashdaily--2020-08-15--The FINAL LOCKDOWN – Here’s 6 Dire Predictions From Widely Read Blogger

The language and imagery on his list are intentionally provocative .
The real question is what to do with his predictions .
Should we take them as the warnings of a prophet , the ramblings of a madman or something in between ?
Mike Adams who dubbed Health Ranger to distinguish himself from all the other Mike Adamses in the world — writes for a website called Natural News .
His latest warning , however seems a bit extreme .
Is that because he ’ s wrong , or because we live in an insane world ?
Read futher and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ THE RICH : Leftists Introduce Tax On Total WEALTH , Not Income — And It Gets Worse The dire events that he warns us about are almost apocalyptic in scope , and they speak about grand designs of big players .
But at least some of what he is saying has been echoed elsewhere .
In particular , his reference to the ‘ Great Reset ’ which was also referenced on a podcast we occasionally cite here at ClashDaily , and it is a recurring topic on the Glen Beck radio show .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ from links to actual World Economic Forum source documents .
In that detail , at least , Adams is not a lone voice .
The pictures he paints with his other points are more shocking than that .
Our readers can decide for themselves what to do with the claims he made in this recent post : The things he describes here can — he believes — be stopped if Trump and sufficient anti-globalist elected officials are sent to Washington to stop this from unfolding .
1 ) Measles Outbreak at Disney was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( California ’ s SB 277 vaccine mandate law ) 2 ) COVID is being used to develop a database that he calls the ‘ Kill List Database ’ .
What does that mean ?
Every person who has signed up to be tested for covid-19 — or who runs a contact tracing app on their mobile device — is being funneled into a government database that will soon be used to hunt people down for forced vaccinations .
What the Democrats want is armed vaccination teams going from private home to private @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at gunpoint , or kidnapping them and taking them to FEMA-like “ quarantine camps ” for processing .
( In reality , they are being taken to death camps for executions , see below… ) 3 ) The tests themselves may have been used to spread the virus .
There ’ s also credible evidence that some of the covid-19 test swabs have already been inoculated with the virus itself in order to spread the outbreak .
They are spreading it on purpose , just like they did in Disneyland .
Yes , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have weaponized it against humanity .
We know how to beat the virus now , using things like green tea and zinc , but the virus is very real and quite deadly to people who are nutritionally deficient and immune suppressed .
Still , the masses of the world do not yet realize what ’ s coming .
As usual , they awakened too late to the horrors that they ignored for too long .
They let Big Tech , Big Media and Big ( left-wing ) Government gain too much power , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now the enemies of humanity .
4 ) The vaccine will ( he claims ) be dangerous… intentionally And so the ignorant , clueless masses will be systematically culled if the Democrats and globalists get their way .
They will be lined up and forcibly injected with “ vaccines ” that are little more than kill shots , engineered with mRNA strands to turn your body into its own suicide bomb ( autoimmune disorders ) .
They will obediently line up at food banks where vaccinations are required to receive free food , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mark of the beast ) in exchange for a bag of toxic , processed food that ’ s laced with deadly pesticides and herbicides ( because the food supply has long been a primary vector of killing humanity ) .
The Great Reset is an orchestrated plan to render major economies insolvent so that global economies can be ‘ rebalanced ’ according to a blueprint put forward by the uppermost tier of global power players .
Rendering the American economy insolvent is but one part of that grand plan .
And have you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) All of this plays a role in the Great Reset , which will be a dystopic Mathusian nightmare .
In an article published on the World Economic Forum ’ s website , WEF founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab said “ the world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies , from education to social contracts and working conditions.
” What you need to understand is that the globalists have now decided to eliminate the “ useless eaters ” of the world , which in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the global population .
They are going for the stupid people first : The ones who line up to be injected with vaccines that are obviously engineered to destroy lives rather than protect them .
Governments have now come to realize that they can not remain financially solvent for much longer if they need to keep paying pensions , entitlement benefits , food stamps and other payout obligations to large masses of people who offer zero contributions to society .
The United States of America is now over $ 26 trillion in debt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a trillion dollars a month right now .
This can only end in catastrophe .
6 ) There will be an engineered global famine due to the engineered collapse of supply chains You can go to his website to see the full scope of the threat as he sees it , and what could be done about it .
What do our readers think about this warning ?


clashdaily--2020-08-17--WTF: Austin Slashing Its Police Budget To Comply To Left’s Demands — Here’s The 411

You might expect this up the left coast like California , Oregon and Seattle , and a few other Blue states , but Texas ?
Seriously ?
This right here is why Right-of-Center Texans run with that slogan ‘ Don ’ t California my Texas ’ .
It was bad enough when cities like New York , Seattle and LA were committing functional suicide by gutting their police forces .
But why would Austin have to follow suit , too ?
The Austin City Council unanimously voted to cut its police department budget by $ 150 million on Thursday , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ top cop faced months of criticism over the killing of an unarmed Black and Hispanic man , the use of force against anti-police brutality protesters and the investigation of a demonstrator ’ s fatal shooting by another citizen .
Those criticisms coincided with protests across Texas and the country calling for reforms on police tactics and the “ defunding ” of law enforcement in favor of redistributing funds to social services and alternative public safety programs .
The council ’ s move makes Austin the first of Texas ’ four biggest cities to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ share of the police department budget that was cut is among the largest percentage decreases in the nation this year .
Council member Greg Casar , who crafted the three-tiered plan to reduce the police department budget , said when the Austin community organizes and asks for change , he wants to make sure the council can respond effectively .
—TexasTribune So , what kind of cuts are we looking at ?
And what spending priorities are taking their place ?
They ’ ll be diverting funds to increase access to abortion , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police funding by about one-third of its total $ 434 million budget calls for immediately cutting around $ 21.5 million from the department , according to a document put together by council members .
But city spokesperson Andy Tate said Thursday that the number was closer to $ 20 million .
These immediate cuts would include eliminating funding from three planned police cadet classes and reallocating funds to areas like violence prevention , food access and abortion access programs .
However , the council said it may allow one or two cadet classes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a revised curriculum is completed and a “ more appropriate recruitment program ” is implemented .
It will also consider attrition rates , pension impacts and additional funding as factors influencing its decision on cadet classes .
—TexasTribune Cutting funding to police cadet classes seems a spectacularly bad idea in light of an article published just last week : The average number of officers and cadets leaving the Austin Police Department each month has more than doubled since the end of 2017 and increased by nearly 34 % through mid-June compared to 2019 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sparked concerns within the department about its ability to perform its duties as city leaders tee up major cuts to the police budget .
–Officer What does the Governor have to say about it ?
“ Some cities are more focused on political agendas than public safety , ” said Abbott .
“ Austin ’ s decision puts the brave men and women of the Austin Police Department and their families at greater risk and paves the way for lawlessness .
Public safety is job one , and Austin has abandoned that duty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up next session , but in the meantime , the Texas Department of Public Safety will stand in the gap to protect our capital city.
” —MyParisTexas So , depending on how the legislature responds , this may not be the final chapter of this story .

So, what kind of cuts are we looking at? And what spending priorities are taking their place?
They’ll be diverting funds to increase access to abortion, for one.

But city spokesperson Andy Tate said Thursday that the number was closer to $20 million.

It will also consider attrition rates, pension impacts and additional funding as factors influencing its decision on cadet classes. —TexasTribune
Cutting funding to police cadet classes seems a spectacularly bad idea in light of an article published just last week:
The average number of officers and cadets leaving the Austin Police Department each month has more than doubled since the end of 2017 and increased by nearly 34% through mid-June compared to 2019. The increased rate of departures has sparked concerns within the department about its ability to perform its duties as city leaders tee up major cuts to the police budget. –Officer
That’s your taxpayer dollars at work, Texas.
What does the Governor have to say about it?
“Some cities are more focused on political agendas than public safety,” said Abbott. “Austin’s decision puts the brave men and women of the Austin Police Department and their families at greater risk and paves the way for lawlessness. Public safety is job one, and Austin has abandoned that duty. The legislature will take this issue up next session, but in the meantime, the Texas Department of Public Safety will stand in the gap to protect our capital city.” —MyParisTexas
So, depending on how the legislature responds, this may not be the final chapter of this story.
