Joe Biden's perfunctory crime speech

 In light of the fact that Democrats are polling badly on the issue of crime/law enforcement, Joe Biden tried to stop the bleeding. He didn't just fail to stop the bleeding. He failed the test miserably.

Predictably, the speech was poorly delivered. Equally predictable is that it contained the same tired material as other Democrat crime speeches. For instance, many of the things that Biden called for are already law. Most disappointing is the fact that nothing Biden proposed will stop the current crime wave.

President Biden in remarks Wednesday said his crime prevention strategy would focus on strengthening background checks, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and boosting community policing.
Background checks are required. Strengthening them is virtually impossible. Banning assault weapons is counterproductive since they're used in so few crimes. The only item on Biden's list that might help is community policing. That's only possible if that police force isn't already stretched too thing by defunding.
  
I find it extraordinary that a big-government type like Joe Biden would say that it's our job to keep each other safe. How can we do that without the police and without firearms? Are we supposed to ask criminals to stop committing crimes? If they don't stop, should we ask them 'pretty please'? Guns aren't the problem. The lack of respect for police officers is a major problem:
The attempted carjacking happened during an uptick in such cases last summer and law enforcement is warning again about armed carjackings in the Twin Cities. There were 25 carjackings reported from the start of the year through mid-February in St. Paul, compared with three during the same period last year, according to St. Paul police.

Yesterday, Joe Biden told the nation that the crisis would be solved by taking away the criminals' tools (guns), not by arresting the criminals. In what world does that make sense? This isn't sensible. It's utterly irrational.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
