Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) on Monday called on Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to schedule a vote on a domestic terrorism bill this week after a gunman opened fire at a grocery store in Buffalo, N.Y., killing 10 people in what authorities are calling a hate crime.
In a statement on Monday, Schneider pushed for a vote on the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act, which calls for creating domestic terrorism offices in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI that would watch for and examine domestic terrorist activity.
Schneider specifically referenced several recent shootings around the country. Over the weekend, 13 people were shot at a Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo, 10 of whom died, and one person was killed in a shooting in Laguna Woods, Calif.

Establishment, no way.
MAGA crew, probably.
Important we eliminate all Establishment if we want a chance at a civil resolution to Dem power mongering
The problem is Trump is part of the establishment. He wants to be a people pleaser. No more hip hop and Kanye West in the WH. He gave 300 billion to blacks. Either tell these people like it is or sit down and shut up. I like DeSantis alot, but after being fooled so many times, I’m wary.
Day and night.
I'm just waiting for a cruise missile to come through my front door.
But democrats did nothing when white people were mass murdered by black people, time and time again.
The creatures Pelousy and Omar constantly terrorize me.
Day and night.
I’m just waiting for a cruise missile to come through my front door.
Why is someone like Omar in our government? Do you see this kind of crap anywhere else? When did we develop such lax immigration laws, and why are so many foreigners in charge of our government?
Bingo. Dems cheer when they see our cities being looted and burned by antifa and BLM.
The only thing false is the narrative by the MSM that this kid was conservative.
He was, by his own admission, a "Left Authoritarian."
He was also a triple-vaxxed, Covid-obsessed incel loser who was known to wear a hazmat suit complete with respirator to school because he was so terrified of the disease.
Alone in Covid isolation, he found solace in 4chan and other similar websites, not Tucker Carlson, Fox News, or Donald Trump.
When the term ‘domestic terrorism’ is NOT being applied across the board legally or fairly, the term becomes nothing but a subjective, if not political, application/mechanism despite being ascribed as following or adhering to Section 2331 of Title 18 or the United States Code.
Of course the RATs are going to do that. Why else would they have formulated this false flag event?
The US has always been good about accepting refugees and mostly it's turned out well. The Vietnamese and Hmong (Lao) refugees we accepted after the Vietnam War turned out, for the most part, to be stand up people and have been a credit to our country. Sure there are knuckleheads but mostly good people. Same thing with Iranian refugees after the 1979 Revolution. Really good people mostly.
I don't think it's religion, in if itself, either. Most of the Vietnamese and Lao refugees were Buddhist and most of the Iranian refugees were Shiite Muslim.
I don't even think it's a matter of how advanced the society was. On one hand, Vietnam was moderately advanced and Iran was very sophisticated as a society (at least until the mullahs tried to take them back to the 12th Century). On the other hand, Laos, particularly when you got away from big cities like Vientiane and Savannakhet is extremely primitive...to some extent even to this day.
I think a big part of the problems with the Somalis is that they were easy to radicalize, easy to get to adapt to living on the dole, and there were plenty of groups in the Minneapolis area that were more than happy to help them radicalize even more and a government (with support from Lutheran and Catholic NGOs) that was more than happy to get them in the permanent dependant class.
Imagine a high concentration of a very primitive, gullible people being flown to a very leftist city, being housed in rabbit warren apartments in the neighborhood that was the highest concentration of communist activists in the state (West Bank of the University of Minnesota). Then add in Nota little influence from Minister Farrakhan's followers. And that's the area now informally called Little Mogadishu.
As far as Ilhan Omar is concerned, she is a naturalized citizen (probably shouldn't be, but that's a separate issue) and got elected by the constituents of her district. My question is if the district is so gerrymandered that a win is automatic. Keep in mind that Minnesota elected Keith Ellison (Nation of Islam member) as the state attorney general. Knowing that, can you really be surprised that they'd elect somebody like Omar to Congress?
As to immigration laws, our immigration system needs to be radically overhauled.
I've never had a problem with the US accepting bona fide refugees, whether they be people fleeing communism, to eat refugees, to, for a short period, people fleeing catastrophic natural disasters when their native countries couldn't provide the relief.
But being a refugee should be officially considered a non immigrant status that will come to an end when the situation is over. They shouldn't be given a free pass to jump the line as immigrants. And they shouldn't be granted free access to every place in the country until they've been fully vetted. (In other words, I have no problem with refugee camps)
And the people crossing the southern border are not refugees. They are economic migrants. And they should wait in line just like anybody else who wants to immigrate into the US. I think that Immigration and Naturalization Act should be modified to reflect that the President must formally declare an origin country as eligible to send refugees and the discussion reason why that is the case, that the declaration must be subject to Congressional review and concurrence, and the eligibility declaration must be renewed every 180 days.
If a refugee decides that they want to stay as an immigrant, they should have to go through the same immigration process as a person applying from their home country.
Immigration is so broke that I can't even get my Thai wife a tourist visa so she can go with me when I come back to the States to visit family.
(The rule is that the applicant has to have strong ties to their home country, in this case Thailand, AND weak or no ties to the US. In my wife's case, we own a house in Thailand, she has children and grandchildren in Thailand, bank accounts in Thailand, etc. But the fact that she's married to me, a US citizen, the embassy here automatically considers her to have a strong tie to the US, despite the fact that I live here in Thailand and have no interest in ever living in the US again).
The irony is that I could fly her to Mexico, drive her to the border, and sure her where to cross, and she'd be welcomed with open arms. THAT is a messed up immigration system.
Here in Thailand they have a different system altogether than in the US.
As a retiree, I have to have either the equivalent to $26000US in the bank or proof of a monthly pension that is more than $2500 a month after US taxes, health insurance to cover any medical emergency, a clean criminal record both in the US and here.
A retirement visa is good for only 1 year and I have to apply to extend that visa every year. I have to report my residence address to immigration within 24 hours of moving there and additionally have to check in with immigration every 90 days just to say "Hi I'm still here".
None of the requirements are terribly odious but I say to myself regularly that the US should adapt some or all of them for aliens living in the US. And, oh, by the way, I'm technically not an immigrant. I'm on a non immigrant visa.
In order to get permanent residence (where I would be considered an immigrant), there's a completely different process...one that I won't go into here. BUT Thailand accepts applications from only 100 people from each country each year. The reason is that they want to keep Thailand Thai and not have it turn into China, Australia, or anything else like what happens when a country accepts too many immigrants in a short period.
Again, something that America could learn 😂.
Well I guess it is time to arm my man pits
Looking to go after the MAGA crowd, designate, label, put on the list and ban them from voting
Only 7.9% of violent crimes have guns involved.
More gun laws is like amputation of your leg because you have a hangnail.
“Going nowhere!”
I agree. The bill states
“... which calls for creating domestic terrorism offices in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI that would watch for and examine domestic terrorist activity.”
Wowee!
Pretending to do something relevant in anticipation of death
Additionally, the legislation calls for the creation of an interagency task force, which would be required to “analyze and combat White supremacist and neo-Nazi infiltration of the uniformed services and Federal law enforcement agencies” and then present a report to top law enforcement figures and key congressional committees.
....they are only focusing, with half their efforts, on "white supremacist" ideology, which will be defined as any attempt to question why Whites are becoming second-class citizens, and why they are being universally discriminated against.
No focus on BLM and their terror and graft. No focus on AntiFa and their terror.
I now know how brownshirts operated in Nazi Germany: Selective law enforcement.
Nazis? Brownshirts? Demonrats?
Repeat yourself much, Laz?
As they say in Thailand, "same, same, but different"
Another false flag, another made up crisis.
Per WKBW: 2020 and 2021 were Buffalo’s most violent years in decades with 65 people killed in 2020 and 67 in 2021.
Where has Deep State been?
The lady on the ground was shot point blank from an AR-15. HOW was there no blood on her or anyone else? No splatter or anything
