President Joe Biden plans to address Congress on Wednesday evening and will outline his plan for an additional $1.8 trillion in spending.
The president will outline his proposed American Families Plan during his speech, according to the White House, an additional $1.8 trillion for free community college, free child care, paid leave, more food stamps, and free universal pre-school.
The proposed plan would spend an additional trillion while also doling out $800 billion in tax cuts.
The plan will also expand the child tax credit through 2025 and the Obamacare health insurance tax credit. The earned income tax credit would become permanent.
As far-left protesters continue to hit the streets to protest alleged systemic racism reinforced by police, the actual circumstances surrounding police shootings paint a very different picture.
The numbers show of those who died in officer-involved shootings, 28 percent died while shooting at either officers or other people. Additionally, 16 percent were either using weapons or physical force and 31 percent were pointing a gun.
Public support for prioritizing new laws to reduce gun violence has declined from a high 3 years ago, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released Wednesday.
The survey found that 50% of Americans back enacting new legislation to reduce gun violence. That number was down from a peak of 57% after the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
Despite the drop in support, the 50% backing is more than the 43% of Americans who said protecting the right to own guns should be a more important priority, which is up from 34% just 3 years ago.
This latest poll was conducted following several recent mass shootings, including 8 people killed at Atlanta-area Asian spas, 8 murdered at an Indianapolis FedEx warehouse, and 10 killed at a Colorado grocery store.
President Joe Biden, who earlier this month enacted executive actions regarding gun violence, has faced increased pressure to bring about stricter firearm legislation and policies.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) acknowledged during an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” Sunday that there is no evidence race was a motivating factor in the killing of George Floyd.
The progressive attorney general made the stunning admission when fielding a question from interviewer Scott Pelley on why the prosecution didn’t pursue a hate crime charge against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who knelt on Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes during an arrest last May.
“I wouldn’t call it that because hate crimes are crimes where there’s an explicit motive and of bias,” Ellison said. “We don’t have any evidence that Derek Chauvin factored in George Floyd’s race as he did what he did.”
“In our society, there is a social norm that killing certain kinds of people is more tolerable than other kinds of people,” says Keith Ellison about the murder of George Floyd. But without evidence of explicit bias, he could not charge it as a hate crime. https://t.co/fZ6gmySBfYpic.twitter.com/46fissA9I4
USA Today published an article the other day citing three professors, two of whom are doctors, from Case Western Reserve University in Ohio who believe that getting injected for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) should be mandatory for everyone with no allowance for any religious exemptions.
According to Drs. Michael Lederman and Stuart Youngner, along with Maxwell J. Mehlman, the only way to “defeat” the Chinese virus is to require “vaccination for all” – even though the jabs, according to the official narrative, do not prevent infection or spread.
“Disincentives,” these three say, should be imposed to coerce compliance among all, including Christians and Catholics who object to getting injected because the jabs cause permanent DNA damage and also contain aborted human fetal tissue-derived ingredients.
Certain government benefits could be revoked, the trio suggests. The unvaccinated could also be denied entry into private businesses or told they are not allowed to ride public transportation. What causes the most pain and suffering should be considered, they say.
“[W]hile the measures that will be necessary to defeat the coronavirus will seem draconian, even anti-American to some, we believe that there is no alternative,” they wrote in a paper entitled, “Defeat COVID-19 by requiring vaccination for all. It’s not un-American, it’s patriotic.”
As someone who once considered myself Never Trump, I feel well qualified to comment on the activities of those who still cling to that label after the 2020 election. For rational people who are not trying to cling to accumulated power or trying to recover their influence, Never Trump was over on election night 2016. It was either going to be President Clinton II or President Trump, and in hindsight, I am glad it was the latter.
Did I love every tweet? No. However, I did find some of the reactions to them hysterical. And no matter what I thought of President Trump’s style, it was difficult to argue with the substance of his administration. As a kid, I never doubted that President Reagan put America and the West’s safety, prosperity, and security first. If you listened to President Trump and his advisors and tracked what they did, the principles were the same even if specific policies were different. Enthusiastically, I pulled the lever for a second term, which was pretty easy to do without compromising on much.
The chronic Never-Trump crew could never bring themselves to agree with Trump on anything. Not even policies they had long said they supported. Instead, Never Trump turned to straight-up grift with sites like The Bulwark financed by liberal donors and groups like The Lincoln Project, which convinced those same donors they could bring significant Republican support to opposing Trump. That did not happen, and President Trump’s Republican support increased in 2020. Now the Lincoln Project is reduced to celebrating getting a childish nickname for Senator Ted Cruz to trend on Twitter:
The jury in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was at peace with the guilty verdict they rendered, the first juror to reveal his identity said this week.
“After we deliberated and we had to do some explaining to a few people, breaking it down a little bit further, everybody was on the same page,” Brandon Mitchell, a 31-year-old high school basketball coach, said on “Get Up!” with Erica Campbell.
Closing arguments in the trial, which saw Chauvin facing three counts in the 2020 death of George Floyd, finished on April 19. The following day, after about eight hours of deliberations, the 12 jurors reached a verdict.
According to Mitchell, most of the jury was in agreement nearly immediately on convicting Chauvin. But at least one juror wanted to slow down and consider things carefully.
“It wasn’t like we just walked right in the room and everybody was like ‘let’s get it done.’ There’s always one person that’s like ‘what about this, what about that.’ So we sat in the room and argued for a few hours pretty much with just one person. Just trying to get them, to see where they’re coming from, and trying to get them on board with where everybody else was,” he said.
“I think the one juror that was kind of—I wouldn’t say slowing us down—but was being delicate with the process moreso, was just kind of hung up on a few words within the instructions and just wanted to make sure that they got it right,” he added on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
“We just kind of went around the room, we broke down, we literally broke down the sentences and broke down the words and what the meanings were, and just described in several different ways from different perspectives until we came to a common conclusion.”
A Los Angeles-based jail reform group led by BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors dropped nearly $26,000 for “meetings” at a luxury Malibu beach resort in 2019, campaign finance records show.

Actress and activist Rose McGowan battered Democratic voters for being in what she says is a “deep cult.”
McGowan, who was raised in a cult when she was just a child, denounced much of the Democratic Party during a Monday Fox News interview.
What are the details?
McGowan, who was instrumental in the #MeToo movement that shook Hollywood from its top executives all the way down, told “Fox News Primetime” host Tammy Bruce that she believes Democrats and their supporters are in a “deep cult” and don’t even realize it.
“I am not here to make people feel bad about their political choices,” she told Bruce. “But I am here to say that you might be in a cult, too, if you don’t know the signs. And I do believe Democrats, most especially, are in a deep cult that they really don’t know about and aren’t really aware of.”
McGowan also warned that Democrats “masquerade” as humanitarians despite being “against changing the world for the better.”
