“...his daughter, Ebony,...”
Color on the brain, but white folks racisss.
Yes, good column.
But did she have to throw in a useless dig at Ivanka?
You need a rap sheet 40 pages long to even step foot in a prison.

Obama put hundreds of drug dealers back on the streets. Now the country is rotted out from drugs.
“nonviolent drug crimes”
The violence is committed by the customers of the drug dealers.
The drug crimes are not non-violent.
Crime is an inevitable consequence of making the sale of recreational/addictive drug substances illegal. Drug prohibition make the substances expensive.
There is also the problem of shoplifting by customers of drug dealers. This shoplifting causes inner city retailers to have to raise their prices.
Coulter is right. It takes a lot of time and money to prosecute and convict criminal scum on the charges they were arrested for. The usual plan is to let them plea to possession because they are usually caught with illegal drugs at the tone of their arrest. Because they are criminals and are caught with drugs it is often easier and more convenient to send them to prison on drug charges.
I have no problem with this.
They get probation, rehab, suspended sentence, etc... several times before the judge finally lowers the boom.
Even then, only half of the sentence is ever served.
The concept of “nonviolent drug crime” is pure, evil garbage and an incident in my own family shows it. One of my closest relatives was my late, beloved cousin Wilma (not her real name). Her adopted daughter Gloria (also not her real name) was and remains a hopeless heroin addict. Gloria made most of the final years of Wilma’s life pure hell with constant extortion. In addition, Gloria had several kids, one of them a very decent, innocent young man. Gloria abandoned her kids for heroin, causing them all to reject her. The experience devastated her son. Then, at about age 18, he met and fell in love with a young woman, who eventually dumped him, an experience common to a lot of young men. Tragically, that rejection, combined with abandonment by his mother, was too much for him and he committed suicide.
That whole horror was caused by “nonviolent drug crime.” Nevertheless, some fools say that horrible crime is “victimless.” Pure crap—each junkie ends up with multiple family members, friends, and associates who are also victims of drug criminals. As far as I’m concerned, the Singaporean solution is probably the best.
WOW, Ann! Good work! Do not take your foot off the gas.
