In another attempt to buy the votes they do not have for the upcoming mid-term elections, Joe Biden has decided to pardon over 6,500 individuals convicted on federal marijuana charges.
I understand Joe Biden has a soft heart for criminals of all sorts, but actions translate to consequences. All these individuals convicted of marijuana possession knew they were braking the law and therefore they owed a debt to society.
Joe Biden’s reasoning behind his decision? “No one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana. Sending people to prison for possessing marijuana has upended too many lives and incarcerated people for conduct that many states no longer prohibit,” he said. “There are thousands of people who have prior Federal convictions for marijuana possession who may be denied employment, housing, or educational opportunities as a result.”
If this is what he actually believes, someone needs to remind Biden, it is the job of the legislature to change the laws.
If he feels marijuana possession should be removed from the current Schedule 1 classification, he needs to lobby his party members, after all, they control the whole of government.
If the government wants to legalize marijuana, do it the right way, not by decree. Many states have already legalized the use of marijuana one way or the other, and others have ballot initiatives coming this November.
Pardoning people for willfully breaking the law is not a fix to a problem, but a message to the people that breaking the law is acceptable.
Personally? I do not care for drugs of any kind and I think drug usage is stupid. Having said that, I will defend the right for anybody to do stupid things as long as they are done legally.
At the end of the day, this is just another cheap move by the Biden administration to push their liberal agenda before the mid-term elections as he knows the Democrats have no chance of retaining the House and a slim chance of keeping the Senate.
Who is next? Pedophiles, murderers, and drug dealers?
With the Biden administration you never know what their next move is going to be. At this point nothing is out of bounds or surprising.
LIV Golf CEO, Greg Norman, took a trip to Washington, DC, to talk to members of Congress about LIV Golf. Unfortunately for him, he encountered a hostile crowd.
Probably because the PGA Tour has spent millions of dollars lobbying in the halls of Congress, or maybe because they are really outraged by the funding sources of LIV Golf.
Either way, this is nothing more than hypocrisy. After all, the United States has send millions in weapons to Saudi Arabia to fight a proxy war with Yemen.
Just a few months ago, Joe Biden went to Saudi Arabia begging for more oil production while humiliating our country in front of the world.
To use LIV Golf as a political scapegoat for the poor decisions the U.S. Congress and the White House have made regarding Saudi Arabia, is laughable and it shows the lack of accountability within our own government.
As long as the United States government continues to do business with Saudi Arabia, they have no room to criticize LIV Golf or anybody who choses to associate with Saudi Arabia.
We used to be a country that led by example, but today we are nothing more than a weak, woke, and morally bankrupt third world outfit.
No Posthumous Pardon For Convicted Felon George Floyd

After an attempt by convicted felon George Floyd’s attorney to have his criminal record clear after his death, the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole has rejected the request.
At the heart of the request was an allegation that, according to Allison Mathis, the officer involved in Floyd’s case has been accused of using false evidence in multiple cases. Obviously this was a Hail Mary thrown hoping the board would bite. Nothing was mentioned about Floyd’s 2004 drug conviction or any alleged improprieties with that case.
Last October the board recommended issuing Floyd a pardon but then rescinded the decision a few months later without a reason.
I am sure that would have not been a popular decision among law abiding Texas citizens and it would have looked bad for Governor Abbott who is seeking re-election.
I am very pleased with the decision by the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole. Just because someone is no longer alive it does not mean their crimes never happened.
George Floyd was not a saint despite the efforts by the liberal media to portrait him as such. Floyd had a violent criminal history the media refused to share with the public.
In 2009 he served a five-year prison sentence, as part of a deal, for a 2007 charge of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. Before that, he had been convicted of several charges from theft with a firearm to drugs.
The 2020 George Floyd riots were destructive. Domestic subversive groups Black Lives Matter and Antifa went on a rampage of burning, looting, and destroying everything they could.
By the way, has anybody been convicted for these crimes?
Floyd’s death was a regrettable one. No human being deserves to die while on police custody, but that does not mean Floyd’s life of crime should be an afterthought or forgotten.
I believe the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole understood accountability for his crimes should remain in place.
As his family got handsomely rewarded for his death, bad police officers were held accountable, and millions of dollars in property damage still unaccounted for, this is a remainder that when one commits a crime, one is not the victim, but those harmed by those actions are.
Is not that the truth! Photo courtesy of teepublic.com
As advertising agencies want to bamboozle 75% of the population into believing the 15% of the population who gets arrested for 51.2% of the murders and non-negligent manslaughters in America are all about family values and above reproach, the reality on the ground is quite different.
If you watch network television, you understand you have been peppered with woke advertising. Companies and advertising agencies want you to believe 75% of Americans are irrelevant while propping false narratives about the other 15%.
The truth is that 15% of the United States population continues to commit the majority of crimes in America and there is no advertising that can cover that reality.
Of course, the media underreports every time a minority commits a violent crime as you can see by the lack of reporting on the alleged kidnapping and murder, by a black man, of a Memphis mother and the alleged shooting spree, by a 19-year-old black man.
Folks, we have to call this scum for who they are. These two are animals that should have never been allowed to roam the streets of a civilized society.
Thanks to our weak system of justice, Mrs. Fletcher’s alleged murderer was released early from prison and the alleged Memphis shooter was also released from prison after only serving 11 months of a 3-year sentence.
Of course, we get the same ridiculous statements from government officials, the typical ‘our thoughts and prayers’ spill, but no solutions to the problem.
Thoughts and prayers are not going to fix the crime problem that has skyrocketed in America since the instalment of Joe Biden in the White House.
As George Soros continues to finance the election campaigns of corrupt state attorney generals and prosecutors who refuse to follow the law, crime rates continue to go up as they release violent criminals back into our neighborhoods.
My fellow Americans enough is enough. When are we going to hold accountable these corrupt politicians? The time for action is now, the time for ‘thoughts and prayers’ are long gone.
These politicians and failed prosecutors need to be voted out of office, period.
Violent criminals do not have a place in our society, regardless of their race, color, or ethnicity.
Unfortunately, Soros prosecutors have been releasing these violent criminals to our streets, sometimes without even a charge.
Carrying on the agenda of subversive groups like Black Lives Matter and other so-called social justice entities, our justice system has turned into a revolving door of lawlessness. Police arrest these criminals only to see them back on the streets a few hours later.
Meanwhile, politicians refuse to rectify the problem. Only Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has shown some backbone by suspending Tampa’s prosecutor and Soros puppet, Andrew Warren, for refusing to follow the laws of the state of Florida.
We need more of that type of accountability if we are to survive the efforts of radical prosecutors and their lawless agenda.
As advertising companies and woke companies attempt to cover the reality with ridiculous television advertising that does not represent the reality in America or that of the majority of the 15% who gets arrested for committing the 51.2% of our country’s murders, they are not fooling anybody but themselves.
One thing Americans know how to do well is putting their money where their morals are. All these companies who want to pander to certain sectors of our population are in for a rude awakening.
As the economy continues to tighten, they will find out who has the real spending power in the United States, and not even the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) wokeness is going to save their businesses.
Inclusion by exclusion is not a winning formula, especially when you have to lie about it.
Joe Biden And His Third World Bait and Switch Tactics Will Not Work
‘From hell’s heart, I stab at thee. For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee.’ The real existential threat to the Republic.
As I listened to Joe Biden spew all his nonsense from Independence Hall, with a background that looked like the red gates of hell, I could only wonder how we ended up with such a disgrace as our president.
From the doom and gloom background and his Marine bodyguards, Joe Biden looked more like a Hugo Chavez than an Abraham Lincoln or Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Making America Great Again (MAGA), was probably the greatest and most unifying slogan of the 21st century. After 8 years of the Obama administration in which the country was a failure at a local and global level, the hope for a fresh start was pinned to this slogan.
But according to Joe Biden, so-called MAGA Republicans, whatever that means, are an existential threat to what he calls, “our democracy.” I already have a problem with a president who continues to refer to the United States as a democracy when in fact we are a Republic.
The speech was full of hate and lies. Republicans who voted for President Trump were not the ones burning our cities and federal buildings. These were Black Lives Matters and Antifa operatives which are the road dogs of the Democratic Party.
Sure, we had some people who did not agree with the results and were allowed by federal law enforcement to enter our Capitol and commit acts of vandalism. Far from an ‘insurrection’ and more like a Black Lives Matter or Antifa riot.
Unlike Antifa and BLM, most of those defendants remain in prison and have not been afforded the rights to a speedy trial as guaranteed by the United States Constitution. Who has been playing dirty politics?
Joe Biden accusing conservatives of not accepting the election results is a bunch of hypocritical garbage. Let us not forget how the Democrats and Hillary Clinton whined about the 2020 results, accusing the Russian government of election interference, and making the president-elect as some type of Russian stooge.
For four years, the Democrats in Congress made the life of President Donald J. Trump a living hell. They could not accept the election results, so they brought unsuccessful impeachment proceedings against the president.
For four years, the Democrats made a mockery of our system of government and now they want to claim the moral high ground. This is a joke that I do not find funny.
As I watched the speech, I was waiting for Biden to announce live, that President Trump was been arrested or some type of military operation was going on American soil. That is the level of creepiness I felt watching this tin pot dictator speak.
It was scary to watch and a revelation as to what can happen to a country when government exercises unchecked power. Joe Biden is governing as a third world dictator, and I know he would not hesitate to use the military and federal law enforcement to hold on to power.
Joe Biden is that type of crazy and the Republicans do not have it in them to stop him.
Unfortunately, we cannot count on our Department of Justice to do the right thing as they have been weaponized and no individual within those departments has the guts to say, ‘enough is enough.’
So, as Joe Biden threatens 75 million Americans who freely exercised their guaranteed right to vote, the country continues to be an economic, social, educational, and a leadership failure. Joe Biden and the Democrats have nothing to run on, so they are going full third world to take by force that they cannot have by merit.
The true existential threat to our republic is sitting at the White House. The ‘Divider in Chief’ will stop at nothing to retain power and destroy whatever is left of this free country. I would not be surprised if this ‘accidental president’ concocts something come this November.
Among all this craziness, we have to be smart and act accordingly. This speech was nothing more than bait and switch to elicit a negative reaction from law abiding citizens, mainly Republicans.
We have to remain calm and continue to express our grievances respectfully and at the ballot box. Joe Biden may be treating our country as third world country, but it is our duty to treat our country as the shinning beacon of hope that it is.
We need to stay above the rhetoric, ignore the haters, and understand that what Joe Biden and the Democrats are doing is by design and with the intent to destroy our country by creating false narratives and by pinning Americans against Americans.
The only way the Democrats can succeed is not by addressing the issues and offering solutions, but by creating division and by fabricating situations that in reality do not exist.
Making America Great should be every American vision, and wish, for our country.
