This, along with SO many other things are specifically the culture rot that is killing the future of our country. Libtards are literally threatening fines and/or jail for stores that refuse to stop separating girls and boys sections in stores' merchandizing in the latest legislation proposals. Ish is about to get real here. Heads will literally roll if your party continues to push this insanity.
There is no more Gender, so at some point, no more "rights" for women or men, so all the fighting for women's rights are now gone, Dont have to hire women, give them equal pay, because THERE IS NO SUCH THING! Thanks left, you make gender fake, and so everything that go's with gender is now out the window. You cannot argue gender, and soon race. So we just cancel color, so there is not color, so there is no argument. Cant say "they didn't hire me because i am a women" "or I am black" so now everyone is just BLANK no race no color, no mom or dad, just folks.

So an employer can fire all the women if they wanted to, and just agree that there is no such thing as gender, so everyone is equal, men and women cannot cry about inequality because you have now given a "Get out of Jail" card for any employer to argue they did not discriminate over race or gender, because we have cancelled it out of our culture.

Its going to get out of control, and New York is pushing this in schools, and you cannot say mom or dad etc its insane.

Calm down Hannity. We are a long way from all of that.

When it comes to the culture wars, both sides are cartoons of themselves. Putting on a dress and saying you're a woman is just as far out as putting on a cammo vest and a MAGA hat and calling yourself a patriot. Culture ebs, flows and evolves. What is acceptable will change and then change back again. Throughout history trans have risen and fallen in and out of favor. They are such a micro-minority, it rarely changes anything for any of us. Trans people have always existed in society. We go back and forth on how we acknowledge them.

Now, the difference between Republicans passing $2T in tax cuts and Democrats passing $2T in entitlements/reparations, that is something worth talking about. That is a con-job that effects us all.

You mean for the fact they are abiding by this in the US House of representatives as a rule. Businesses removing references to boys and girls. The frog in a pot can not tell it is getting ready to be boiled. You really need to go back an re-read the history of pre-war europe and the ex-soviet union on how they manipulated the public. You may see it as eb and flows, however this is exactly how this stuff was done. Read the writings of these people and their end goals, you cannot let it get an anchor

Also, people actually lose their jobs over not agreeing with this garbage. This is not equal cartoon of each other. No one is losing their jobs over not agreeing with wearing camo and a maga hat. If anything, they have been fired for it.

democrats pushing gun control again. This time the feds have more time to prove you can not have your second amendment rights. If they do not answer that you can or can not, YOU as the individual have to petition said fictitious department to get an answer in order to move forward with your rights. I can see this getting struck down as you should not have to petition the government to exercise your rights because they can not or will not perform a task.

Always quick to try and remove rights and make life more expensive until only they are left participating in life.

So why is Biden not talking to world leaders but Harris is? Not looking good for old Joe. Wonder how the public is going to feel about the party having a clear trojan horse pulled on them. No one liked her in her own party, now she is acting as defacto president and waiting to take over shortly. Heck even his own party asked for his ability to have the launch codes removed.

You oppose background checks? Wouldnt that make it easier for scumbags to get guns?
Trojan horse? Did someone not see her on the ballet, on the flags? on the signs? It was in big letters, Biden/Harris. If you miss Biden for some reason, i hear he will be on TV tonight.

Pretty much every new gun law proposed now only hurts law-abiding citizens. Those scumbags you’re referring to, (democrats for sure) don’t give a rat’s 95sn what the law says. They’re gonna do whatever they want. More gun laws only make it harder for law-abiding citizens to enjoy their 2A rights. But you already know that. This is just the beginning of your side’s long game to strip our 2A rights. Just like how your side spent three generations of trophy giving for mediocrity and indoctrination of young minds that has screwed us big time and why we’re probably never gonna see the light after a few more years of this ish.

So the mentally impaired guy with porn addiction that shot up the Asian massage shops bought the gun on the day of his shooting spree. Clearly we need better gun laws, damaged guys like that should not be able to walk-in and walk-out with a handgun in their hand. I heard the shooter was republican, again.

Was there any record of mental illness that would have prevented him from buying a gun? No one supports a mentally ill person buying a gun. I had no problem waiting for my background check when I purchased some libtard neutralizers this year. I don't even think the NRA takes issue with most background checks. Congrats finding the needle in the haystack if he was a R. 99% of all shooters are libtards.

Yet the media wants to paint a hate crime pic. Sure let’s jump to gun laws , There are already plenty in the books. Plenty of examples of the lack of charging and sentencing individuals who break the law. Let’s completely dismiss the lack of mental health facilities and giant funding cuts in the ability to help those with mental disorders and blame it on guns. Don’t miss a chance to completely skew the actual event into fake propaganda stories
Please, point out where I painted anyone as a racist, take another Xanax and relax. Is Porn a race now? Mentally impaired a race? You always jump to conclusions like this?
The reason people are talking about Race and Asians is because Crimes against them are sky rocketing in the last year. Hmmm, wonder why? Many think its due to people like the ex prez using a racist term, China Virus, because people in his cult take every thing he says as gospel.
How many Asians in the USA had anything to do at all regarding Covid?
The guy walked into a gun shop and walked out with a handgun. Hours later he used it to kill 8 and wound others. No one needs to be able to get a gun that quick. But hey, thoughts and prayers is all we will hear. You want to discuss mental health and lack of facilities, thats a worthwhile talk.

What the what

EVEN CNN AND NYT CALLING LYIN BIDEN OUT . Mark already posted the NYT

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn...eck/index.html




My favorite lie by far was him claiming the Vaccine availability in spring was his prediction , and that he’s responsible for that happening. Trump predicted that in 2020 and enough vaccines were being sourced to make that happen under his plan. Hahahahahahah whoops.

There are already back ground checks. Anything else is a lie.

Democrats can get guns so there goes your scumbag getting guns argument.

What they are proposing is creating another secondary market for the public to purchase guns and then on top of it all, making the public PROVE THEIR INNOCENCE by petitioning the government that is not responding thus delaying their ability to exercise their rights. maybe you should live by your rules and email all of us what you want to say on this board and we will decide in 10 to 30 days if what you had to say is ok. If we had not had that vote, you can write us again and ask us why, then if we do not respond in another month, then you can go ahead an post what you wanted.

The VP does not hold court with world leaders. Biden is shirking his duties.

Anybody else completely confused by the covid speech from the President last night ? I mean just months ago he , his VP , and several prominent mouthpieces from the left were on repeat in the MSM telling everyone they would never trust a vaccine that rolled out under Trump. Encouraging people to refrain from taking it ...... Well to their surprise several rolled out from plans under the previous administration , and all of sudden with Biden at the White House they’re pushing every eligible American to take the vaccine . That’s a strange twist of events. Did Biden have some magical potion he amd his crew added to the vaccines already produced they were boycotting?


We listened to him take full credit for the amount of vaccines being rolled out and the exponential increase in administered doses. Did he and his staff forget that the supply chain for all those needles , syringes , and vaccines were created before he took office? Can someone explain what steps he’s drastically changed in the process, because I completely missed the part where he actually described the detailed steps his administration has taken that were so helpful and had such an immediate impact in order to completely change the course of what was transpiring. I suppose the President must have missed that part in college where their describe how brand new products roll out , you know the part on how it takes time to expand things from the first idea to regularity.

We just heard the President speak for 20 minutes about the virus , not a single detail of what his plan actually is , not a single detail of what he’s done that wasn’t already in place. His focus was on his administrations great plan to devise an online database , Geee ya think. Let me know how that worked out when they started up the website for Obamacare.

His only plan of action he’s eluded to is masks. Mask this, mask that , mask everyone. He spoke of the devastation caused by lack of in school ability, the huge amounts of business and families devastated by the pandemic , completely glossing over the fact democratic strongholds are the worst hit , and the worst performing areas due to their policies. His closing was listen to Dr Fauci , he’s the end all be all. I could litter this posts with the amount of times that the good ol Dr was slapped in the face with reality after his “medical opinion”.

You knew the speech was gonna be a complete joke when he began the talking points about the virus and tossing in racism. Never miss an opportunity to ram that gem in at every cost. Can anyone explain how the covid speech from the president didn’t touch on any details of his exact plan that he campaigned on ? You know the one he claimed that was going to save America. His only explanation of moving forward was to have family Bar B Q for the 4th of July.
Again , clearly I missed it after watching it twice , so can someone please explain to me what the steps of his covid plan are , how they differ from what was in place , and what he’s personally changed by his policies that is having such a major effect on the upward trend? Seems more to me like the vaccine plan put into place by predecessor is moving faster than anyone wanted to give him credit for.

Ahhhh more glaring idiocy shining through spotlighting your ignorance to the actual gun crime statistics in America. Next you’ll be telling those evil black rifles should be banned. Here’s your free education. Criminals and murders don’t get guns legally. The cure for gun crime is simple , prosecute the offenders to the fullest instead of emptying prisons , sending criminals back out on the street with a signature for bail, and end the bull**** BLM movement painting police as racists . The end. There is no need to institute any further laws against legal gun owning citizens. Use what’s at your disposal already, the tools are there .

Maybe you missed this gem from the left

I think most people with any commonsense want the media to fact-check our leaders. Even the people who voted for him don't run to his rescue to defend every dumb thing or political exaggeration he makes. He is a president and not a demagogue.

Actually sad, I had a dinner meeting friday night with a group practice, 2 Neurosurgeons and a plastics Craniofacial surg, they were talking about his health, not politics and talking about his symptoms and past medical history, as a lot of it is public. It started about his bleeding eye, and conjuctive issues with vascular diseases in older people who have high blood pressure, diabetes, etc etc

Oh you mean the way he used one time access of reconciliation to omit the standard approval process required because he couldn’t get the votes for it ? The bill that hands free money to democratic strongholds that have run their cities and states into the ground with failed policies prior to covid? The giant piece of
legislation filled wit 85% of bull**** spending ?

Reconciliation is the same rule Senate repubes used to pass the tax break for corps and the richest, helping only the very top of the food chain. As has been proven going back decades it does not promote nor help anyone but the richest Americans and corps. Bezos not enough cash yet? How does it provide more for Blue areas and not both blue and red?

Funny, my wages went up faster in 4 years than they did in the previous 8 years. Our wages is based on a survey of area companies and what they pay people with the same skill sets. Bay area companies had to pay more for labor over the last 4 years. Why? Demand. That means jobs. Where did these jobs come from? Large employers needing to hire. Why did they feel they could hire? Usually favorable tax status and less regulation makes for certainty.

You’re dumb enough to believe he knew what he signed and he created it? Really? The biggest libtard pork bill in history by a long shot just added tens of thousands to our children’s future tax burden. We are a sinking ship. He is a puppet. This is literally Moon Over Parador.

America is on its way to the poor-house. Republicans do it by not bringing in enough taxes and Democrats do it by over-spending. Two routes to the same end. All in the name of buying votes.

I half agree with that... the last four years of R admin showed zero restraint on the fiscal side. The R admin before that we blew a ton of $$$ in Iraq, and the R admin before that we also blew a ton of $$$ in Iraq (though Desert Storm was definitely justified, and rather well executed in hindsight), and the R admin before that we blew a ton of $$$ spending the USSR into the ground.

The idea that Republicans are frugal spenders is a very well crafted myth. Republicans definitely cheap out on some spending categories, but they haven't been able to balance a budget during my lifetime.

I didn’t agree with everything 95’s daddy did. I didn’t mind the first round, but everything after that has been BS. Including the second one from 95’s daddy. Unlocking things is the best stimulus you could do and more effort should’ve been put into that. Have you read what’s in this latest Biden “COVID relief bill?” It’s not even what it’s called. By far the percentage of money is going to libtard pork projects. I heard a breakdown of it over the weekend and it’s disgusting.

The Biden and left’s social justice reform push is working great. Just look as these prizes they have been at the forefront of supporting.

****bags out on low bail for attempt murder , committing more violent crimes. His partner Bogan is charged with four counts of attempted murder and 19 other felonies. He posted $25,000 to get out of jail then committed more violent felonies with weapons

Then we get these gems. Career drug inducing burglars and robbers. Out on bond committing more

The we get these 6 gun totaling individuals. Exceptionally low bond. For those not familiar with bonds. The cash amount eluded to in the article is technically the bond amount. However they’re All D bonds which means they only have to come up with 10% of the bond amount to be free. Example 3,500 bond only pay 350 to get out. 10k bond. 1k to get out. But don’t worry. We just need more gun laws .

By the numbers? Try these numbers on: 1.9 trillion spread out among all our people should be $5,757 per citizen. This is the biggest, most disgusting bait and switch in history.

So you’re saying dems don’t overspend? That’s laughable.
They ALL overspend.** cyclically, Rs have been handing over struggling economies to dems, dems have been handing back stronger economies to Rs. Was true for Clinton, was definitely true for Obama.

It's a bit disingenuous to get religion about deficit spending now.

**assuming we agree that "overspend" means spending more than is collected in taxes.

The difference is This Bill...
https://www.investopedia.com/taxes/t...lan-explained/
The overhaul was forecast to raise the federal deficit by hundreds of billions of dollars—and perhaps as much as $2 trillion—over the coming decade.8 Estimates varied depending on assumptions about how much economic growth the law would spur, but no independent estimates followed Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin in predicting a net reduction to the national debt as a result of the overhaul. (According to the Washington Post, the country's deficit hit $984 billion in 2019, compared to the deficit of $665 billion in 2017.)

...only benefits the richest in the country. IE, a much, much smaller group that didint actually need any help. Odd how you see that helping more people in a pandemic (that you have been stating daily is destroying the economy) is disgusting. If it disgusts you, donate the benefits you receive, if any and take the high road. Easy.

As they say, elections have consequences.

You seem surprised that the American people elected democrats in both chambers of congress and in the White House and they have the audacity of putting through a bill consistent with their agenda.

It's kindof a testament to how ineffective Trump-daddy was, no? Managing only to get the TCAJA through during the time that he similarly had majorities in both chambers? Or do you think that the Rs didn't do more during Trump's first two years out of deference to the dems?

What I think is you libtards and your media did a shameless, bang up propaganda hit job on Trump with COVID and killing our economies for political reasons. Add to that the first full generation that has been brainwashed by the public school system indoctrination program and you got yourself a winning combo. Well done. Way to play the long game. Good for your party, bad for America. Too bad once the frog realizes it’s being cooked, it’ll be too late.

Keep blaming others. Trump F'ed up any Fed Covid response all on his own. He called the shots. He stood at the podium during all those Covid updates early on, downplaying the risks. When he was chastised, instead of correcting course, he doubled down and turned it political. He did it to himself. Do you need to be reminded for the 100th time? It will all go away, when it gets warm...There are dozens and dozens of times he lied. Face it, your daddy is a liar.

Um no. Your daddy got railroaded. Trump relied on the libtard messiah, Fauci who still can’t be consistent. Need to watch another video of Fauci saying in his own words that masks don’t work? This thing got immediately political with you libtards. You used it as a battling ram to push him out and it worked. Your daily lies about everything got put on repeat every night. Even Fauci said Trump was following his advice. Remember when pelosi was up there begging people to go to Chinatown? How bout when your side called Trump a xenophobe for shutting down flights from the origin of the virus? How bout your predator Cuomosexual buddy killing thousands in between sexually harassing women? Give it up. Your side has been outed. That’s why Gov. Nuisance is being recalled.

You’re like a broken record of bull**** media blasts . Do you have any single opinions of your own with the facts to support them? The only thing Trump botched on covid was not calling out all the bull**** policies being put in place by democratic strongholds to cripple our economy. He should’ve shut all money flow and government assistance off to all those commies , and held them accountable for their bull****, and let them do it. Instead he just left it up to their dem
Leaders and they showed their true colors and incompetence. That’s the only part of the covid response he failed . 3/4 of the dem mouthpieces belong in prison for their actions.


On the other hand the facts are the facts.....the mental damage , educational damage , economic damage , family damage , and overall positive feelings and work ethics of Americans were destroyed by the Dems in their cities. The facts are the facts. Every single legitimate study points to exactly that. So while your TDS won’t let you get Trumps name off your tongue , your dem buddies are destroying America at record pace.


You keep saying Trump lied


Suspiciously absent is you rhetoric regarding the fact checks done by your democratic MSM sources on Biden’s recent covid speech to America. Overwhelming majority of his entire speech was built on lies. I noticed you skipped that post as well. Imagine that.

I agree that there is a humanitarian crisis at the border. The southern neighbors think since trump is gone its now easy to skip across, at least thats the assumption. Since the border has been an issue for decades maybe give Biden a chance to figure out what he is going to do. One would think having a finger raper waiting at the border would cause them to second guess a safe crossing.

Give him a chance??? He put out the Mexican welcome mat! That chance was gone weeks ago. First he tried to deny it wasn’t a crisis and now he screwed up so bad that he can’t hide it any more. Just like Cuomo. You probably think the republicans bought the Biden T-shirts too right? Build the friggin wall, man the border properly, follow the advice of border patrol like Trump tried to do and stop the invasion of illegal, New Democrat voters. Also, stop handing out free ish and services to them. Especially when we have an explosion of homeless blight everywhere.

Its not a Biden issue, its a left political issue, he cant figure something out that he and he lefties want. Its not about the quality its about the quantity, its easier to gamble on those crossing voting dem. Thats it

Calling Xstar mall cop only proves what a completely and totally disrespectful douche you are. I genuinely hope the next time you crawl out of your mom’s basement with your 3 masks on that you get pulled over by one of the extremely small number of bad cops who can smell the typical libtard un-showered BO stench on you and tases the crap out of you just for general purposes.

Just more of Biden’s people continuing their assault on Americans and American business. Letting the criminals run free with no recourse. They’re attempting to raise the felony threshold for the 3rd time in two years for theft. GENIUS at a time when crime is at an all time high.


Record shootings
record carjackings
Record murders
Record thefts
Record burglaries

And Biden’s SJW are doing everything in their power to keep criminals on the street and not prosecute them. These are the people leading the SJW charge. Your felony retail theft is only upgradable if you have a prior felony retail theft. You burglarry conviction ( you know theft from a building , home, auto doesn’t count ). Robbery conviction( you know theft by force ) yea that doesn’t count either. Feel free to rack up as many felonies as you want. At a time when looting destroyed businesses , their push is now to allow more thefts at them , and not prosecute their offenders. Seems wonderful.

Those SJW policies form Biden’s cohorts are paying dividends. Not a peep about these SJW policies and the carnage the are leaving behind.

Weird not one white extremist crime has happened . I thought those were the top criminals facing us today ? These are just couple of the many highlights of the pst 3 days. Frightening


Oh then there is the auto theft caught on film while barstoolspoeta was filming a pizza review. Guy steals car and rams police car right in front of them. That’s was epic.

Atlanta’s Crime Wave Makes Some Residents Look to the Suburbs Buckhead group explores seceding from the city amid rise in violent crime; ‘Everybody is on edge’
ATLANTA—Lauren LeNoir had always felt safe on her quiet street in Buckhead, the city’s wealthiest neighborhood, known for its upscale malls and mansions. But that all changed when she was coming home from work one night in January. The 43-year-old restaurant general manager pulled into her driveway. In an instant, she said, two men were at her car door. One man threw her to the ground, pressed a gun to her head and threatened to blow her head off. In the end, they took off with her purse and cellphone.
“He had no regard for my life,” she said. “They’ve stolen something that I cannot get back, and that is my sense of security.” Violent crime has been on the rise in many parts of Atlanta since last summer, not just Buckhead. From Jan. 1 to Feb. 20, there were 18 homicides in Atlanta, up 80% compared with the same period last year, according to the Atlanta Police Department. Shooting incidents were up 32% for the same period; robberies, 17%; and aggravated assaults, 47%. In the police zone that includes Buckhead, robberies were up 40% from the same period last year and aggravated assaults rose 35%. In the police zone that includes the downtown area, aggravated assaults rose 24% and auto thefts rose more than 200%, compared with the same period last year. Many major U.S. cities experienced increases in homicides, aggravated assaults and gunrelated crimes in 2020, according to a report funded in part by the Council on Criminal Justice, a think tank. Of the 34 cities in the report, 29 saw annual increases in homicides, including Atlanta with 38%, New York City with 43% and Chicago with 55%. For Atlanta, the increase follows years of dropping crime rates and an influx of wealthier residents drawn to the city by plentiful jobs, including those in tech and for corporations like Coca-Cola Co. , Delta Air Lines Inc. and Home Depot Inc. Ms. LeNoir said she now is looking to buy a home in the suburbs and some of her friends also plan to move. “Everybody is on edge,” she said. Some Buckhead residents are so alarmed by the crime wave that they have launched a committee to explore seceding from Atlanta, which would mean having its own police department. The Buckhead Exploratory Committee told The Wall Street Journal that crime wasn’t its only concern but was playing a critical role. “Our residents are genuinely concerned for their safety and the safety of their family members. Residents must be wary and ‘on guard’ continuously, even when doing routine tasks like going to the gas station, nearby shopping mall, shopping at the grocery store or just pulling into their driveways, mindful if anyone is lurking in the bushes,” the committee said in a statement. The police department and criminologists attribute the change to a shortage in officers, following protests over policing last summer that led many officers to retire or take jobs elsewhere. They also say less foot traffic on city streets during the pandemic emboldens criminals who are more likely to think they won’t get caught. Earlier this month, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray told the Senate Judiciary Committee that the pandemic and police recruiting and staffing played roles in the violent crime spikes in Atlanta and other major cities. “The violent crime problem over the last year in particular, 2020, is something that is a great concern that we are very warily keeping our eye on,” Mr. Wray said. Interim Police Chief Rodney Bryant, who was appointed to the post in June, has said he is committed to new policing approaches while also working to reduce violent crime. In January, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and Chief Bryant announced a series of reform measures, including putting more resources into enforcement against gangs and gun violence, creating a new public-safety academy to train officers in new policing methods and working harder to recruit and retain officers. Atlanta Police Department spokesman Sgt. John Chafee said in a statement the rise in violent crime came while “we were dealing with increased hostility toward law Violent crime in Atlanta was higher in the irst two months of 2021 compared with the same period last year enforcement and a decreased sense of trust toward police. Atlanta, as well as many other cities, saw an increase in officers leaving the job, further adding to the challenges faced in keeping our communities safe.” The department currently has about 1,700 sworn employees, down from the 2,046 it is authorized to have, according to the department. New recruits account for 89 of the employees. Sgt. Chafee said the pace of officers leaving the department has slowed and its recruitment efforts are paying off, though there is still work to be done. The crime wave has caused friction between Mayor Bottoms’s administration and the city council. In December, a 7-year-old girl was shot as she rode in her family’s car near Phipps Plaza, a Buckhead shopping mall, and died days later. Howard Shook, the longtime city councilman for the area, wrote an open letter to the Bottoms administration, criticizing its leadership. Mr. Shook said in an interview that the administration hasn’t done enough to respond to the crime problem, while residents have overwhelmingly supported his stand “Nothing that I’ve done in 20 years has engendered such support,” he said. Mayor Bottoms’s office didn’t respond to requests for comment.
Atlanta City Council President Felicia Moore said in an interview that the city needs to balance supporting police and making sure residents’ rights are protected. Residents are pressing for more officers to hit the streets, she said. “The criminals read the news and watch the TV,” she said. “They know you are down officers.” Matt Brill, 41, who has lived in Buckhead since 2002, was returning from getting a pizza for his family last summer when a man followed him home. When the man pulled a rifle from his car, Mr. Brill quickly ran into his house and called the police. The man drove away. Mr. Brill said he has no plans to move yet, but he said some neighbors are thinking of leaving. “You kind of are hopeful that this is a near-term trend,” he said. “At first it’s just a one-off, but then it keeps happening and you wonder, are we just stupid for staying here?”



Look at these democratic justice policies in action. Making America so safe. I am sure Biden will be addressing that in his next speech ......probably next year.

another, welcome homeless, drug dependent people to set up tent camps, and next thing you have 1million homeless in LA. Its not that we dont want to help people, we cannot help everyone. There is a reason, mountain climbers leave people to die on mt everest. they cant help because they would die trying. Sad but true. there needs to be a balance.

His sarcasm went over your head because you’re not following the ***-for-tat posts between us closely enough. I’ll give him a C- for effort this time.

Holy cow, I know it’s an opinion piece, but dang, that is exactly what I think. We’d actually be better off knowing who the enemy is (Harris as prez) than having to be led by some anonymous, dark force like we are now.
