Arizona GOP Rep: Biden 'culpable of child abuse' for fueling border surge with weaker enforcement

"I don't understand why the president of the United States would incentivize people to travel thousands of miles," Rep. Lesko says.

Arizona Republican Rep. Debbie Lesko linked President Biden's reversal of the Trump administration's border enforcement policies to the current surge of illegal immigration at the southern border, arguing Biden is "culpable of child abuse."

"Last time I went down to the border, I talked to the sheriff of Yuma County. We're right by the river, the border between Mexico and the United States, and right there was a date tree farm and he told me, 'You know what, Debbie? We get called here all the time because women, illegal immigrant women, are getting raped,' " Lesko said during a news conference Wednesday about the record number of unaccompanied minors coming to the U.S.-Mexico border illegally.

"I don't understand why the president of the United States would incentivize people to travel thousands of miles – children, minors, traveling thousands of miles. I believe he is culpable of child abuse because his policies are incentivizing these people to travel at the hands of the dangerous cartel," she also said.

Biden has implemented executive actions that rolled back many Trump-era immigration policies, including the "Remain in Mexico" policy that required asylum seekers encountered at the border to wait for their court hearings in Mexico.

A total of 25,000 migrants are being transferred in phases into the U.S. after Biden's elimination of the "Stay in Mexico" policy.

According to local media reports, some of the migrants who were transferred to the U.S. and released later tested positive for COVID-19.

Biden also restored the so-called Obama-era "catch and release" policy that allows illegal immigrants caught at the border to be released into the U.S. to await their court hearings. Biden has also released an immigration reform plan that would offer a path to citizens for illegal immigrants living inside the U.S.

Lesko said the White House is wrong to characterize Republicans as "just critical" and lacking solutions when it comes to immigration policy.

"That is totally false," she said. "We have had legislation. I have had legislation. I've reintroduced it this year; that would help solve this border crisis. But you know what? Democrat (Judiciary Committee) Chairman Jerry Nadler wouldn't hear it last year and I bet he's not going to hear it this year either."

Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy told reporters he was in Laredo on Tuesday and saw 15 apprehensions of illegal immigrants, but border agents could not stop others from crossing illegally into the country. Roy said he encountered one agent who was solely in charge of monitoring a 3-mile open stretch of the border that lacks an existing physical barrier.

What do you think, anons? To me this looks notable. Can I get a witness?

Scrapey scrapey, eggs and bakey.

Michigan attorney general Dana Nessel has announced there will be no state investigation into the COVID-19 nursing home deaths scandal, which was done at the behest of Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Whitmer’s right-hand woman Nessel will be doing what she can to cover-up the scandal, similar to how she covered up voter fraud and issued threats to whistleblowers to intimidate and silence them.

“Though I will not hesitate to act when justified, I also will not abuse the investigatory powers of this department to launch a political attack on any state official, regardless of party or beliefs,” Nessel said in a statement released on Monday.

Nessel responded to concerns brought up by state senator Jim Runestad (R-White Lake) after New York Governor Andrew Cuomo received national scrutiny for implementing genocidal COVID-19 nursing home policies like Whitmer.

“Gov. Whitmer’s regional hub policy placed patients with and without COVID-19 in the same facilities and may have exacerbated the death toll in those facilities,” said Runestad in a press release.

“Questions remain regarding the accuracy of data, compliance with CDC guidelines and compliance with our state’s Freedom of Information Act. There is a critical need for a full investigation into these matters,” he added.

Nessel is claiming that all the scrutiny is politically motivated as she covers up the illicit actions perpetrated by her boss.

Soros-Backed DA Cut Plea Deals With Violent Criminals Represented by Campaign Donors

Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner under fire for progressive policies amid violent crime spike

Philadelphia district attorney Larry Krasner cut favorable plea deals with violent criminals represented by the progressive's campaign donors, city financial records show.

Krasner took office in January 2018 after mounting an unconventional campaign that centered on his history of suing police officers as a civil rights attorney. Just five months later, he reached a plea agreement with two career criminals who murdered a Philadelphia cop, allowing them to avoid the death penalty. Defense attorneys Michael Coard and Daniel Stevenson oversaw the deal after donating a combined $2,700 to Krasner's 2017 campaign. Coard—who has called police departments "modern versions of colonial-era slave patrols"—also served on Krasner's transition team and vocally supported the progressive in 2017.

Months later, Krasner reached another controversial plea deal with a career criminal who shot a Philadelphia deli owner with an AK-47 during an armed robbery. Krasner campaign donor Philip Steinberg represented the shooter, who received as little as three-and-a-half years in prison for aggravated assault, a step below the attempted murder charge the DA's office initially pursued. Krasner's office also failed to inform the victim of the shooter's plea hearing, a violation of state law.

Krasner is now facing a contentious reelection battle as local law enforcement groups argue that his "soft on crime" policies have led to a spike in violence. Twenty-twenty marked Philadelphia's most violent year in three decades, with nearly 500 killed and more than 2,200 shot. The city experienced a rise in killings under Krasner even before destructive riots swept the nation in the wake of George Floyd's death. Philadelphia saw 353 and 356 homicides in 2018 and 2019, respectively—more than any year since 2007.

"It's been a complete train wreck since [Krasner] has been in office. His failed social experiment has driven crime up, driven murders up," Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police president John McNesby told the Washington Free Beacon. "On the street, the criminals know that there are no repercussions. They call him ‘Let ‘Em Out Larry'—it's a joke."

Krasner's campaign did not return a request for comment. The progressive's 2018 plea deal with cop killers Carlton Hipps and Ramone Williams came after the pair fatally shot Sgt. Robert Wilson III while robbing a local GameStop. Wilson was at the store to buy a gift for his son and engaged the shooters, moving bystanders away while taking fire in an exchange that was caught on video.

Coard, who represented Williams, called the plea agreement a "no brainer." He told the Philadelphia Tribune that Hipps and Williams would "no doubt" get the death penalty without the deal given that they were "on videotape killing a cop." Wilson's family questioned Krasner's objectivity in the case given Coard's role on the progressive's transition team, but both Coard's and Stevenson's campaign contributions went unnoticed. Coard gave Krasner's campaign $2,500 in the 2017 cycle, while Stevenson gave $200. The pair has combined to give Krasner an additional $1,350 since September 2019.

looks notable to me

Socialism will never be accepted in America. But the Defense Production Act does not count as socialism. And most people hate David Cross.
