JOE BIDEN INVITES A GREATER INVASION - More Deported Migrants Back to U.S.

ZUCKERBERG IS BIDEN'S MINISTER OF PROPAGANDA AND OPEN BORDERS. THEY'RE TWINS SEPARATED AT BIRTH.

That is all good news for Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us investor group, which is quietly funding a huge lobbying campaign for more amnesty and more migration.

President Joe Biden’s border chief is inviting more lawfully deported migrants back into the United States so they can reunify with their left-behind migrant children.

That is all good news for Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us investor group, which is quietly funding a huge lobbying campaign for more amnesty and more migration. The campaign leaders say the videos of emotional reunifications of the deported migrants are helping them to shift TV coverage away from the alarming inflow of economic migrants encouraged by President Joe Biden’s immigration policies.

“Some of the family reunifications that we saw that sort of changed the coverage in May of this year and started humanizing what exactly is happening,” said Xochitl Hinojosa, a director at FWD.us’s PR firm, Bully Pulpit Interactive. She spoke during a May 26 video presentation to Zuckerberg-tied amnesty campaigners.

“They were able to change [the] national narrative at a time when their issue was under the absolute national spotlight,” said Paulette Aniskoff, a partner at the PR firm.

The invited return of the lawfully deported migrants is being portrayed as “reunifying families” by Alejandro Mayorkas, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). That portrayal is possible because the deported migrant parents choose to leave their children in the United States to begin their own, years-long process of asking for asylum for themselves.

The migrant parents were sent home because they were found to be economic migrants who had no right to take jobs in the United States and no justification for legal asylum.

“The Department of Homeland Security is committed to the relentless pursuit of reunifying families who were cruelly separated by the previous Administration,” Mayorkas said in a DHS statement. He continued:

When we reunified the first seven families last month, I said that this was just the beginning. In the coming weeks, we will reunify 29 more families. In close coordination with non-governmental organizations, legal, and interagency partners, the Task Force will continue this critical work.

The Task Force has also announced in its report the anticipated 29 additional families to be reunified in the United States in the coming weeks. More reunifications are to follow, as nearly 50 requests have been filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Thirty-seven of these requests have already been reviewed and granted humanitarian parole. Once they enter the United States, these individuals will be allowed to remain for an initial 36-month period with the opportunity to apply for work authorization. This includes individuals from the families who were reunited in May as well as the 29 families that will reunite in the weeks ahead.

“The big thing that … I and others have taken away from this is [that] defining the frame of what [immigration] means [is the single] most political important thing you can do,” said Todd Schulte, who acts as the stage manager for FWD.us’s concealed orchestra of subsidized allies and front groups. He spoke on May 26 with the PR executives.

Schulte and his deputies said they try to reframe the national debate about migration around the TV-magnified personal emotions of individual migrants.

The reframing is intended to exclude any media recognition of Americans’ economic and ideological concerns about society, law, crime, border violations, and the huge impact of migration on wages and housing prices. For example, a March 9 FWD.us-funded polling memo advised pro-amnesty legislators to avoid talking about the economics of migration:

It is better to focus on all of the aforementioned sympathetic details of those affected [by an amnesty] than to make economic arguments, including arguments about wages or demand for labor. As we have seen in the past, talking about immigrants doing jobs Americans won’t do is not a helpful frame, and other economic arguments are less effective than what is recommended above.

The group’s reframing task is eased by the donor-funded GOP establishment. GOP leaders prefer that the media frame migration issue as all about chaos, crime, and border violations, not Americans’ wages, jobs, housing, and opportunities. However, GOP Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) and his Republican Study Committee are working hard to spotlight the public’s worries about the economics of migration.

FWD.us’s reframing is deeply discordant with journalism’s need to focus on the concerns of their readers and viewers. In effect, FWD.us is prodding the news media to prioritize the concerns of foreign, law-breaking economic migrants above the economic and family concerns of roughly 30 million nightly viewers.

Schulte declined to answer questions from Breitbart News, but the evidence indicates that he works under the guidance of David Plouffe. Plouffe is the Democratic strategist who was hired by Zuckerberg in 2017 to block President Donald Trump’s lower-migration campaign promises.

Above Plouffe and Schulte, Zuckerberg has spent tens of millions of dollars to build the orchestra of advocacy groups to argue for immigration increases.

The demand for more people makes sense for Zuckerberg and his investor allies because every migrant — young or old, healthy or ill — helps to spike consumer demand for the investors’ companies, which include Walmart, UberGrubHub, and many more.

Each additional migrant also spur demands for real estate — and FWD.us co-founder Bill Gates is reportedly now the nation’s largest landowner.

Every additional legal or illegal migrant of working-age adds to the pool of labor, so nudging down wages and helping the investors boost profits. And every extra dollar in profits creates roughly $20 in extra stock value on Wall Street.

For Schulte, Plouffe, and Zuckerberg, the PR problem began in March when the TV networks began broadcasting images of many migrants — especially children — crossing Biden’s border, Schulte said.

He continued:

To be pretty clear about it, conditions [in March] on the ground with an increase in the number of children, combined with what the media want to dub a crisis, combined with the entire Republican Party deciding to go all in … really created this huge spike —  and I want to be totally clear — really bad media coverage for like, two, three weeks, like super duper bad … So you know we all looked around and decided whatever we were doing now wasn’t working, we decided to like dig in and see how could we, like, put a different situation to place.

Hinojosa jumped in, saying:

We had wall-to-wall coverage of — especially on Fox News, pretty much all the networks — not only of the border, but we weren’t telling the story about what the actual issue is, which is asylum and a lot of people fleeing terrible conditions to seek asylum. And part of that narrative is the Trump administration — he obviously made things worse, and the Biden administration has been working day and night to ensure that they are turning things around.

So what we quickly did, is we changed the narrative and talked about and humanized the stories of people who are now reunified with their families. We want to go ahead and show you this one clip that we were able to work with ABC on. It is a family who had been separated, a mother who had been separated from her children in 2017 and hadn’t seen her children since 2017, So this ended up getting covered on World News Tonight, Good Morning America, and ended up on a number of networks  … This will just humanize what is actually happening.

As you can see, this is a very moving story of a mother who is actually surprising her son’. She is from Honduras, and she was one of the first families who was reunified with her children. This was because of the hard work of the administration  …. We wanted to give you a sense of some of the family reunifications that we saw that sort of changed the coverage in May of this year and started humanizing what exactly is happening.

FWD.us and its allies tweeted the videos:

ABC News did not respond to questions from Breitbart News. Their coverage of the videos can be seen here and here.

Mayorkas added his own voice to the campaign. “Our highest priority is to reunite these families … It’s not about righting the wrong of the past; it’s about restoring the conscience of our government,” Mayorkas said in a May 4 appearance on MSNBC.

“The big lesson over the last decade that is if you can pick the playing field and go on offense, this [immigration] is a huge winning issue,” said Schulte. “If you sit back, it gets really hard.”

Schulte continued:

I think you saw during that big spike was that the administration was allowing the opposition in a very crass and gross way to define the [debate]. And so we have really seen as a sea change over the last two months, as you’ve seen the administration go on offense … Not only have they regained their footing on this police in like a big rebound of the polls on immigration and look from like some be clear like a hard, hard, hard March. And so I think the big thing that Jess and I and others have taken away from this is defining the frame of what this means is the single most politically important thing you can do.

“One of the things we learned is your ability to drive conversation matters a lot,” said Jess Morales Rocketto, the president of Families Belong Together. Her campaign is part of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, which gets funding from Zuckerberg’s FWD.us.

Rocketto continued:

When you’re not driving conversation, people are filling that with their unique sort of story, and when you don’t have people who drive conversation — individuals, organizations, whatever — it’s very, very difficult to get in the mix, in the day-to-day, on an issue and keep them there. One of the things we’re most proud of the Families Belong Together [campaign] is that we’ve made it so that family separation is a front-page issue whenever it comes up. And that is really, really important to the success of our efforts … we need that media attention to keep driving the story …. That media narrative — in particular social media’s ability to turn around conversation — is pretty critical. It is also completely one-sided, but it is really critical.

“So much has been put on the hundreds of groups that both Todd and I have deep partnerships within our organizations around this work,” Rocketto said, adding:

When we are a chorus of voices talking about our work and really showing the connections that we have, I believe that we are able to [ensure] the sensationalized [border crisis] story is not the one that we will tell, and instead [we] will tell something more nuanced and ultimately more helpful to our longer-term goals.

Schulte and his networks use the parole videos to keep prodding reporters and activists to accept their reframing of the immigration dispute:

Schulte represents investors who are worth more than $300 billion and who also manage many additional billions of dollars for other investors. So he made sure to motivate his online allies with a progressive message of a diverse, multi-cultural society:

Ultimately, I think what we were having a big conversation about this country and a fight about is: Are we going to become a diverse and diversifying democracy or not? That’s what voting rights restrictions are about. That is what January 6 is about. It is what conversations around immigration are ultimately about.

Schulte insisted that amnesty is popular but also warned that the public is very sensitive to border chaos. “So, like on the border, in particular, you know, look this stuff gets trickier,” he said, adding:

The big lessons we have here are [that] people want a secure and orderly border. I want to be very clear about that. That is important, and that is not [just] important to Republicans — that is important to Democrats and independents. People want the idea that people will come legally to this country. They view people’s ability to come and seek asylum — which is a legal right — and they want a humane process. But they don’t really know what that has meant…

The big thing I would like everybody to understand about what’s happening is that there are no good short-term solutions when it comes to dealing with influxes of people within a fundamentally failed system. And if you were advising candidates, they should not defend a failed system just because their party may be the party in government right now.

Then he made the investors’ pitch:

Democrats should be the party who are in favor of a fundamental overhaul. We should have a refugee system for the Western Hemisphere. People should be able to work through a work-based visa system. We should have a family-based immigration system.

Schulte was a little coy as he pushed for “a work-based visa system.”

But Biden’s January 20 amnesty bill is FWD.us wish list — and it includes a slightly hidden mechanism that would allow Fortune 500 companies and their subcontractors to fill all their white-collar jobs with an unlimited number of foreign graduates.

Those foreign graduates would accept low wages and would work without complaint because Biden’s bill allows their executives to pay them with green cards and citizenship after 1o years of indentured servitude. The resulting flood of foreign white-collar labor would reduce wages for many American graduates, pressure up their rents, and force them to live further from work and friends.

For many years, a wide variety of pollsters have shown deepnon-partisan. and broad opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates.

This opposition is multiracialcross-sexnon-racistclass-basedbipartisanrationalpersistent, and recognizes the solidarity Americans owe to each other.

The voter opposition to elite-backed economic migration coexists with support for legal immigrants and some sympathy for illegal migrants. But only a minority of Americans — mostly leftists — embrace the many skewed polls and articles pushing the 1950’s corporate “Nation of Immigrants” claim.

Migration moves money from employees to employers, from families to investors, from young to old, from children to their parents, from homebuyers to investors, from technology to stoop labor, from red states to blue states, and from the central states to the coastal states such as New York.



Guatemala to Kamala Harris: Give Americans’ Jobs to Our Migrants

President Joe Biden should help Guatemalans get Americans’ wages — in exchange for Guatemala helping to curb the flow of worldwide migrants across the border, according to Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei.

The proposed migrant-for-migrant deal was spotlighted during a June 7 press conference with Giammattei and Vice President Kamala Harris. She met with Giammattei in Guatemala to showcase her focus on the claimed “root causes” of Central Americans’ migration into U.S. jobs.

“We need the Americans to help us to stop the deportations” of Guatemalan migrants, Giammattei told a reporter.

The answer came after a reporter asked about Guatemala’s proposal that the roughly one million Guatemalan migrants living in the United States be awarded “Temporary Protected Status” (TPS) by Biden’s deputies. The TPS status allows illegal migrants to stay and work in the United States for many years.

According to the official translator, Giammattei said:

Regarding the TPS, we have elevated our request to Madam Vice President, particularly in view of the effects of [hurricanes] Eta and Iota and volcano [eruptions] last year, and we need the Americans to help us, to stop the deportations for some time, and yes, we asked the US government for TPS so that we can focus on development, but also by helping migrants in the United States, our migrants in the United States, not only to make money and send it, but also to give them the financial literacy so that they can establish their companies and Enterprises here in Guatemala so that they can come back to this country to create opportunities with what we have learned abroad.

Harris did not say the U.S. had agreed to Guatemala’s price for curbing migration up through the narrow isthmus of Central America. Guatemala’s border stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, so it is in a position to could block migration if its officials reject bribes by migrants.

Instead, Harris offered a scripted, ready-for-TV, and toothless warning to millions of potential migrants.

Those would-be-migrants are now watching their friends and relatives walk through Biden’s half-open border into low-dollar jobs that provide high-value remittances to the migrants’ families, but Harris declared:

I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border. Do not come. Do not come. The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border … I believe if you come to our border, you will be turned back. So let’s discourage our friends or neighbors or family members from embarking on what is otherwise an extremely dangerous journey, where in large part, the only people who benefit are coyotes.

And let us do our work together Mr President, again, with our mutual commitment of knowing that hope is on the way.

In reality, Biden’s border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, is giving hope to migrants by using obscure immigration laws to help them walk through the U.S. border.

For example, when illegal migrants are caught near the border, Mayorkas uses his legal authority to send them back to the five-yard line in Mexico instead of flying them 2,000 miles back to Central America.

He is helping economic migrants get jobs by letting them file for political asylum in the United States.

He is helping teenage economic migrants walk into jobs via side door created in 2008 law for victimized children.

He is helping older migrants stay in the United States by letting them use the 2008 law to pull their left-behind children up into the United States.

Mayorkas is also using his parole power to invite lawfully deported migrants to rejoin their left-behind migrant children who are applying for asylum.

In April, for example, Mayorkas let roughly 70,000 working-age migrants through the U.S.-Mexico border, just as companies complain that wages are rising for Americans.

Mayorkas’s policy helps U.S. investors and Democrats by extracting consumers, renters, workers, and possible future voters from foreign countries for exploitation in the United States. Investors use the migrants to cut Americans’ wages and drive up real estate costs.

Guatemala’s government also uses the migrants — and their remittances — to muffle pressure from young people for political and economic reforms.

“The point of the trip is political theatrics,” responded Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. He continued:

It’s really the administration pretending it is responding to the border crisis when in fact they are permitting it to continue and in fact facilitating it. That’s the immediate political purpose of the trip. The secondary purpose is to give Kamela some foreign policy photo ops. so when she runs for president, she’ll be able to talk about how she has this extensive experience with foreign leaders.

Any impact on migration “is tertiary because nobody expects that throwing money into an underdeveloped country with a corrupt ruling class is going to make any difference” to migration, he added.

Mayorkas is also cutting another hole in border protections for Americans by allowing U.S.-based migrants to bring their left-behind family members up to the United States. The family members– including K-12 children — would be admitted via the “parole” loophole. Giammattei said:

We are also working strongly on a family reunification program, legally, however, so that persons who wish to apply for their families can do so by filling out the paperwork and the counselors in the United States embassy will have a special section for this. And in that case, we can start regular controlled migration, particularly, whereby we can begin to generate opportunities in the historically neglected [counties] at the [Guatemalan] border with Mexico.

Yet Giammattei asked for more migration avenues, even though critics say that the combination of migration and remittances muffles public pressure for reforms of Guatemala’s government.

He suggested that Biden’s team should invite more Guatemalan migrants into U.S. jobs via the H-2B seasonal labor program and the unlimited H-2A farmworker visa programs. The translator said:

We shared our points of view on the ways in which we have thought of tackling the different issues and the search for openness of their market to give us greater access to the United States, [and] to generate prosperity in our country by introducing necessary changes for migration to become orderly migration through [the] H-1A and H-2B visas. We believe that we can start a very simple process to allow [Guatemalan] people to migrate regularly to the United States.

In return, Giammattei suggested he would set up a U.S.-style center to aid the few migrants who are deported by Mayorkas.

We spoke about the need to support the United States with a return center [for deported migrants] that will be located in the western part of the country, and for which we’re going to implement. In that manner, [it will] help to ensure that that the flow of persons in the southern border of the United States be controlled.

Giammattei and Harris announced a series of token steps against migration, including a claimed crackdown on cartels and coyotes. “Security is probably one of the highest priorities for each of our nations,” Harris declared, adding:

The President and I agreed to continue our work to manage migration, on both northern and southern borders. We also discussed illicit drugs that are being smuggled and humans who are being trafficked across those borders, undermining the security of both the people of Guatemala and the people of the United States. Our nations have collaborated on these issues, and we will create a Smuggling and Human Trafficking Task Force, which will work with local law enforcement to stop these crimes.

But Harris did not commit to enforcing the U.S. immigration laws that would block the cartels and coyotes from delivering migrants into U.S. jobs.

BLACK LIVES MURDER - ANY BLACK RAPPERS NOT MURDERED BY BLACKS??? - Rapper OTF DThang Fatally Shot Outside of Illinois Strip Club

Rapper Lil Durk’s brother and fellow rapper OTF DThang was shot to death outside a strip club in Harvey, Illinois, on Sunday. A police officer was also wounded in a separate shooting.

Rapper Dontay Banks Jr. — also known as OTF DThang — was fatally shot just after 12:20 p.m. on Sunday, outside Club O, a strip club in Harvey, roughly 20 miles south of downtown Chicago, Illinois, according to a report by WGN9.

Police said the 32-year-old was shot in the head and died at the scene. An autopsy on OTF DThang is expected to be performed.

Just before the shooting that killed OTF DThang, a Harvey police officer saw a patron with a gun, which was followed by an altercation resulting in Officer Muhamed sustaining a gunshot wound from an unidentified suspect, the report added.

The officer was treated by doctors and later released from a hospital in good condition.

After that shooting, police responded to yet another shooting in Harvey, which resulted in the death of a 39-year-old victim, Sinica Price, who was pronounced dead at South Suburban Hospital. Police believe that the shooting may have been in retaliation.

Authorities are still investigating, and no one connected to any of the shootings is in custody.

Rapper Durk Derrick Banks — also known as Lil Durk — has yet to comment on his brother’s death.

Another fellow rapper, 6ix9ine, reacted to OTF DThang’s death, writing, “[Lil Durk] tell the truth about yo Gang man they really dyin,” according to a report by Complex.

WHEN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND BLACK LIVES MATTER HOWL FOR 'REPARATIONS' KEEP IN MIND THE STAGGERING CRIME TIDAL WAVE PERPETRATED BY BLACKS AND THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SPENT DEALING WITH BLACK CRIME.


How Democrats Created a Carjacking Outbreak

BLM race riots and pandemic lockdowns made carjacking into big business.

BLOG EDITOR: BLACKS MAKE UP ONLY 8% OF THE POPULAITON OF SAN FRANCISCO BUT PERPETRATE 40% OF THE CRIMES. IT IS WORSE IN OTHER CITIES ACROSS THE NATION.

Carjacking is booming like no form of crime in Biden’s America. Homicides are up, especially in those cities that defunded their police, pharmacies are going out of business in San Francisco and other cities where shoplifting was legalized, but stealing cars is where it’s really at now.

Carjackings more than doubled in Chicago, and increased 537% in Minneapolis, the capital of police defunding, and around 500% in Washington D.C.

In Atlanta, mayoral candidate Antonio Brown, who had advocated defunding the police, was leaving a ribbon-cutting ceremony when he was carjacked and dragged for a block.

“These kids were in my opinion somewhere between 7- and 11-years-old," Councilman Brown said, after calling the police.

They probably weren’t 7, but 11 is all too plausible because the carjackers are getting younger.

The nation was briefly shocked when four children, including an 11-year-old and a 12-year-old, were busted for armed robberies and carjackings in California. A 12-year-old was arrested for four armed carjackings in an hour in Washington D.C. In Pittsburgh, a carjacking crash ended in the deaths of three teen carjackers: the youngest of whom was a 14-year-old.

In one of the worst teen carjackings, two teenage girls, a 13-year-old and a 15-year-old, carjacked and killed a Pakistani Uber driver.

(One reason Ubers have become harder to find is that drivers are afraid of being carjacked.)

In Philly, a Lyft driver avoided a similar fate by pulling out his gun and shooting a 14-year-old carjacker.

The media, which assured the country that defunding the police, freeing all the criminals, and ending bail would reform public safety, claims to be baffled by the rise in carjackings.

Some are blaming the increase in teen carjackings on the teachers’ union shutdown of schools.

That’s certainly a factor, but the teens turning to carjacking would otherwise be moving drugs. The pandemic lockdowns however made stealing cars more profitable than running drugs.

The lockdown’s destruction of the economy has made new homes unaffordable, and also increased the price of cars. Fewer people and businesses could afford to make big new purchases during the shutdown, and instead held on to their existing cars.

The price of new cars is sharply up, but used car prices have shot up by as much as a quarter and inventory is low. That’s where the carjackers come in. Supply is meeting demand.

It’s not just the consumer market. There are severe rental car shortages and Uber shortages.

Even after the economic devastation of the Democrat lockdowns, Biden’s signature program is pushing subsidized electric cars. Car manufacturers are waiting to see what sort of mandates and rewards they’ll be dealing with under Biden’s infrastructure program. And with the supply of chips low and prices rising, they’re in no hurry to roll out cars they may not be allowed to sell.

Under Obama’s disastrous Cash for Clunkers environmentalist program, used car prices shot up 10% and used SUVs rose 30%. Inventory dropped and people were no longer able to afford used cars. Biden is helping bring back Obama’s economic woes in a bigger way.

While the luxury housing and car markets are thriving, the lower end has locked millions of Americans out of buying a home or a car. Car manufacturers are happy to push luxury electric SUVs to buyers who can afford to pay whatever the asking price may be. Working class and middle class car buyers and businesses that depend on fleets of vehicles are out of luck.

Urban organized crime is meeting the demand for used cars with underage carjackers.

Democrat municipalities dismantled law enforcement, destroyed police morale, and shut down much of the justice system in response to the Black Lives Matter riots over the overdose death of George Floyd. The arrest and prosecution of teens, already unpopular, went by the wayside.

The same drug rings exploiting children to run drugs began using them to steal cars.

Organized gangs employed young recruits to shoplift from stores when it became clear that even the most brazen daylight robberies would not be prosecuted in major urban areas.

Especially if the perpetrators were teens. And the younger the teens, the better.

Gangs that had used children to run drugs because they were unlikely to face serious charges moved them into robbery and then, as cars became a hot commodity, into carjacking.

The criminal justice reform movement has fought against prosecuting teenagers, even those who commit murder, as adults. And, indeed, the two teen girls who killed an Uber driver in D.C. reportedly reached a plea deal. Teen carjackers know that even if they kill their victim, the worst thing that will happen is they’ll be in the custody of the state until they become legal adults.

Teen carjackers assault drivers while fearlessly brandishing guns like it’s hunting season because they know the police won’t shoot them and district attorneys won’t lock them up.

While criminal justice reformers claimed that trying teens as adults ‘criminalized’ children, it dissuaded teens and, more importantly, the organized gangs using them as pawns. The decriminalization of teenage crimes led to a boom in teens being recruited by organized crime.

The more Democrats refuse to prosecute teens, the more teens become criminals. And their crimes escalate until they destroy someone else’s lives or just their own.

These kinds of unintended consequences are typical of criminal justice reform.

The carjacking boom is the outgrowth of the two worst Democrat policies from 2020. The lockdowns wrecked the economy and created a booming black market for criminals. The BLM movement and its race riots helped spur a decriminalization that led to a massive crime wave.

If Biden’s electric car push implodes, the auto market may begin to stabilize and recover. But the carjackings will just give way to other lucrative criminal enterprises. Decriminalizing drugs and prostitution won’t decrease crime or make society safer. The most basic level of crime is still theft. Legalizing immoral social ills will just shift criminal resources over to various forms of theft.

Democrats have become socialists and their obsession with controlling markets is leading to artificial shortages that criminals are happy to meet by redistributing some wealth. Like cars.

Socialism, whether in the USA or the USSR, feeds a black market as consumers try to get hold of whatever is no longer available in the controlled legal marketplace. And since those socialists criminalized legal sales of many products, while decriminalizing crime, the criminals are filling niches by stealing from those who have a product in order to sell it to someone who doesn’t.

When capitalism becomes a crime, then criminals become capitalists.

The nightmare of 11-year-olds stealing cars at gunpoint in Washington D.C., Chicago, Philly, and other major cities, was born from the pandemic lockdowns and the Black Lives Matter riots.

Everything that Biden and the Democrats are doing will only make the new crime wave worse.

In Biden’s America, carjacking is how used car sales work. And 11-year-olds hijacking cars at gunpoint are the new used car procurers of a broken economy that prints worthless money.

The Democrats are happy to write everyone a check. But pieces of paper with Biden’s signature on them are only worth what they can buy. Biden’s checks can’t buy you a car or a home. But they’ll buy a car stolen by an 11-year-old boy being run by Biden’s base of urban criminals. If he gets caught, he’ll be out the next day. And you’ll still be out of a car. You may not be able to find a new or used car you can afford to replace it with on the lot, but the carjackers will find one.

That’s the Biden economy.


Police Force Won’t Respond to Theft Calls After 84 Officers Leave Dept.

Asheville, North Carolina’s police department (APD) has seen 84 officers leave since January 2020 and is now making clear it will no longer respond to theft calls.

The Daily Mail reports the department will also forgo answering fraud and trespassing calls.

APD Police Chief David Zack cites the “protests against law enforcement” as one of the factors that led so many officers to step away from the job.

The Asheville Citizen Times notes that “the APD officer attrition rate, formerly one per month, jumped to 7.5 per month in the four months after local protests set off by Minneapolis police murdering Black resident George Floyd.” And even after the highest profile protests waned the APD continues to see an attrition rate of roughly six officers a month.

As a result, the APD now has “only 167 of its 238 sworn officer positions filled.”

APD response times to 911 calls have lengthened during the period of growing officer attrition. The May 2020 7.7 response time for “serious crimes” is now at approximately 10.6 minutes. So the decision to stop answering calls about less serious crimes is also part of an attempt to cut response times to serious ones.

Chief Zack to the city council’s Public Safety Committee about the decision not respond to calls about low-level crimes, saying, “This is what it looks like when you’re down this much, when you lose 50% of your detectives.”

Burning, rioting, and looting broke out in Minneapolis on Friday night after deputies shot and killed a wanted felon who fired on them. Deputies assigned to the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force attempted to take the man wanted for being a felon in possession of a firearm into custody.

Police officials in Minnesota say the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force attempted to arrest 32-year-old Winston Boogie Smith on June 3 for a warrant for being a felon in possession of a firearm, the Associated Press reported. As sheriff’s office deputies assigned to the task force approached Smith’s vehicle, he reportedly refused to comply with orders and pulled a handgun. Officials confirmed Smith fired at least one shot from inside his car.

A statement from the Marshal’s Service said Smith was in a parked vehicle and “produced a handgun resulting in task force members firing upon the subject.” Smith died at the scene from wounds from two deputies’ shots.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension reported that state investigators found a gun in Smith’s car along with a spent cartridge indicating Smith fired from inside his vehicle, the AP article states.

Following the shooting on Thursday, rioters marched in the streets, set fires, and began vandalizing and looting businesses, the AP reported. Police arrested nine people on charges following the night of violent activity.

Independent journalist Brendan Gutenschwager tweeted a video showing multiple fires set by rioters on Friday night.

In addition, rioters also set trees on fire, photojournalist Rebecca Brannon tweeted.

Rioters protesting the shooting of the wanted felon who allegedly fired at agents attempting to arrest him began looting a TMobile store, Brannon tweeted.

Another video re-tweeted by Brannon shows someone performing CPR on a person who was allegedly shot during the riots.

It is not clear from the tweets who shot the person or what if they survived.

Another person was seen being treated on the street for an unknown injury.

Report: NYC Psychiatrist Tells Yale Audience She Fantasized About Shooting White People

NEW HAVEN, CT - SEPTEMBER 27: Students walk through the campus of Yale University on the day the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee was holding hearings for testimony from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh September 27, 2018 in New Haven, Connecticut.

A psychiatrist based in New York City reportedly told a group at the Yale School of Medicine she fantasized about “unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way.”

The New York Post reported:

Dr. Aruna Khilanani spewed the race-hating virtual remarks — in which she also said she’d walk away from the shooting “with a bounce in my step” and that white people “make my blood boil” and “are out of their minds and have been for a long time” — at the Ivy League institution’s Child Study Center on April 6.

Audio of the talk was posted on the substack online platform of former New York Times opinion writer and editor Bari Weiss on Friday, along with an interview of Khilanani conducted by writer and podcaster Katie Herzog.

Khilanani reportedly opened her talk by telling listeners, “I’m gonna say a lot of things, and it will probably provoke a lot of responses, and I want you to just maybe observe them in yourself.”

“Nothing makes me angrier than a white person who tells me not to be angry, because they have not seen real anger yet,” she said before noting how she “systematically” cut off many of her white friends about five years ago.

“I stopped watching the news,” Khilanani explained, adding, “Once I started, I couldn’t stop. It was also a public service.”

“I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step. Like I did the world a f–king favor,” she stated.

The psychiatrist claimed Yale said footage of her talk would be released to the public on Monday, however, it was reportedly released internally and only available to those with a school ID.

According to the Post, Khilanani used what appeared to be her TikTok profile to advocate for the video to be made public.

“How did we get to a place where a psychiatrist delivering Grand Rounds at Yale School of Medicine can give a talk called ‘The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind?'” Weiss wrote in a social media post on Friday:

The racism expressed by Dr. Aruna Khilanani in a Grand Rounds at Yale, just released by @bariweiss @kittypurrzog, is deeply worrisome & counter-productive,” Nicholas A. Christakis, the Sterling Professor of Social and Natural Science at Yale, said in a tweet:

“Of course, as an invitee, she is free to speak on campus. But her views must be soundly rejected,” he concluded.
