  • Calif. voters approve Prop. 36, making some theft, drug crimes felonies

    11/06/2024 11:10:06 PM PST · by thecodont · 5 replies
    San Francisco Chronicle / SFGate.com ^ | Nov 5, 2024 | By Alec Regimbal, Politics Reporter
    California voters approved a ballot measure that would reclassify some misdemeanor theft and drug crimes as felonies, essentially undoing a previous ballot measure that big-box retailers and law enforcement officials have long blamed for increases in theft, property crime and homelessness. Voters approved state Proposition 36 by a whopping margin of 40 percentage points, or 70.6% to 29.4%, according to unofficial results from Tuesday’s general election. The ballot measure needed only a simple majority (50% plus one vote) to pass. The race was called by the New York Times and the San Francisco Chronicle shortly after 9 p.m. (The Chronicle...
  • Kamala Harris 2024 election loss caused by ‘s–t candidate,’ ‘arrogant’ staff, despondent Dem sources say

    Harris, 60, replaced President Biden, 81, atop the Democratic ticket in late July and quickly surged in polling while raking in about $1 billion over a six-week period — massively out-raising Trump, 78, and providing the resources to drive home her early advantage over the Republican nominee. Her failure to seal the deal outraged Democrats, including those who worked in the Biden-Harris administration and on her campaign. “I’ve worked on five presidential campaigns. I knew this would be hard. Others acted like they knew they were going to win,” said one person who chipped in during the final stretch of...
  • Warnock: ‘This Is a Change Election’ — Voters ‘Want to Turn the Page’

    Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that this was a “change election,” in which voters want to “turn the page.” Host Kristen Welker said, “Let’s start off by talking about the results of our latest poll. Senator, 66% of voters believe the country is on the wrong track. As you know, historically, incumbent parties don’t win re-election when the number is that high. Do you believe that Vice President Harris should have distanced herself more from President Biden and sooner?”

  • CHRISSY CLARK: Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's daughter has accepted 'reparation' payments from white friends over the last 6 years

    Public transactions on the Venmo page of Isra Hirsi, the daughter of Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, show payments on Juneteenth spread across four of the last six years. The daughter of a well-known Congresswoman seemingly accepted “reparation” payments from her white friends for years, according to a report from the Washington Free Beacon. Public transactions on the Venmo page of Isra Hirsi, the daughter of Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, show payments on Juneteenth spread across four of the last six years. Captions to the currency exchange include “reparations” and “Happy Juneteenth. It’s unclear how much money was sent as “reparations.”...
  • Harris campaign dishes out six-figure donations to groups who support defunding police, reparations

    Fox News ^ | 10/30/24
    IRST ON FOX: The Harris campaign cut multiple six-figure checks last month for left-leaning groups that have been vocal about defunding the police, reparations, and are tied to radical activists who have supported notorious antisemite Louis Farrakhan. The Harris campaign gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to a handful of Black advocacy groups who are mobilizing Black voters ahead of November's election next week, according to FEC filings released last week. Black Voters Matters Fund, which received $150,000 from the Harris campaign on Sept. 19, has repeatedly called for defunding the police and has been vocal about pushing for reparations....

    The Germany President pictured here with his Greek counterpart flew to Crete on Thursday to apologize for the German atrocities in Crete. Credit: German Presidency President of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier has asked the people of Kandanos in Crete for forgiveness on behalf of Germany for the massacres committed by the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War. “We cannot undo the suffering. We will never be able to properly make up for it. But we must keep its memory alive to ensure that what happened once does not happen again”, he said at a commemoration ceremony.

  • Mayor Brandon Johnson won’t say if he will return $150,000 from rapper Lil Durk, arrested in alleged murder-for-hire plot

    hicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on Friday refused to say whether he will return $150,000 Chicago rapper Lil Durk contributed to the mayor’s political committee, a day after the artist was arrested in an alleged murder-for-hire plot. Johnson suggested he had no immediate intention to give back the money when asked how he would handle the sizable contribution from Durk Devontay Banks, who rose to stardom from Chicago rapping under the name Lil Durk. “You are asking me if I should make a judgment on a Black man before a full trial has actually come to fruition,” the mayor said at...
  • Do We Need to Abolish Grading?

    James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal ^ | October 2, 2024 | George Leef
    Many generations of young Americans have learned in school under the grading system. We took tests in subjects and would find out how well we had done when the instructor returned them, often with red marks to show where we’d made mistakes. The instructor would go over the tests, often spending extra time on the questions that had given students the most trouble. Then we would move on to new material, followed by another test. At the end of the class, we’d receive an overall grade to indicate how well we had done—an A for excellent work, a B for...

    Changing Constitutions over obscure gender/family issues: A direct attack on the Irish Constitution (the attack miraculously lost) is now being followed with a similar attack on the New York State Constitution.The trick in Ireland was to say 2 Constitutional Amendments were needed to better support nontraditional families: it was all about supporting women and families, nothing more. But then, why didn’t the language specify how it would help them?The language was confusing and ambiguous, as it so often is. However, seven parties supported it and two opposed it. The Parliament voted in favor. The media were all for it. Then,...
  • Newsmaker Interview: Trump open to reparations fund for victims of crimes committed by illegals

    Former president also slams Harris as “lazy” for taking day off from campaign trail, and urges leakers of Israeli intel to be brought to justice. Gaining momentum two weeks from Election Day, Donald Trump is laser focused on voters’ top priority of making America safe and affordable again. But after spending hours comforting families victimized by murder, rape and other border crimes, the former president told Just the News he also is open to creating a federal compensation fund for Americans harmed by illegal immigrants let into the country under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The idea...
  • Rep. Jahana Hayes splurged nearly $13K on oysters, Martha’s Vineyard trips and more as residents grappled with historic flooding

    While residents of western Connecticut were cleaning up from deadly floods this past August, Democratic Rep. Jahana Hayes slurped down oysters, pampered herself at a pricey salon and traveled to Martha’s Vineyard and the Democratic National Convention in Chicago — spending nearly $13,000 in the process, Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings show. The three-term incumbent flew to the Windy City just as her home state was hit with a severe storm on Sunday, Aug. 18, which caused more than $206 million in damages to bridges, roads, businesses and homes due to flooding, mudslides and landslides. More than 100 residents were...
  • Migrants no longer guaranteed beds in Chicago, could be evicted as mayor cuts back on shelters

    Hundreds of migrants living in Chicago’s shelters could be evicted in the coming months as the mayor finally cuts back on the city’s overburdened shelters. Starting Tuesday, only migrants who have been in the city for 30 days or less will be eligible for a bed in one of the 13 migrant shelters in Chicago, Mayor Brandon Johnson‘s office said. Migrants already in the system will also be barred from reapplying to a shelter when they hit the city’s 60-day stay limit, with officials only making exceptions for pregnant women and those suffering from an illness or disability. The policy...

    LA TIMES via Yahoo ^ | October 19, 2024 | Carla Hall
    Kamala Harris, the 2.0 version, is self-assured, unflappable and funny. (To the hecklers at one of her recent rallies in Wisconsin: “Oh — you guys are at the wrong rally. No, I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”) But being smart and compelling may not be enough in the scary closing days of this race. She can’t win against Trump just by having a successful record as a prosecutor and lawmaker and creative ideas about how to increase housing supply, support entrepreneurs starting businesses and help people buy their first home. And that’s maddening....

    Vice President Kamala Harris expressed openness to reparations during a Tuesday interview with Charlamagne tha God. Sixty-eight percent of Americans oppose reparations, a Pew Research poll found in 2022. “It has to be studied, there’s no question about that, and I’ve been very clear about that position,” Harris told the radio host: In terms of my immediate plan, I will tell you a few of the following one as it relates to the economy, which is a lot of what you have addressed. Look, I grew up in the middle class. My mother, you know, worked hard, raised me and...

    There is some serious drama unfolding at CBS News after one of its anchors committed an act of journalism – no, definitely not at last week's vice presidential debate – and the guilty party will now face his comeuppance at the hands of the DEI judge and jury. Here's what's going on. Tony Dokoupil, anchor of CBS's morning show – aptly named "CBS Mornings" – recently interviewed radical leftist Ta Nahesi-Coates, an outspoken proponent of reparations. Nahesi-Coates was appearing on the show to promote his new book, "The Message," which The Free Press calls "a masterpiece of warped arguments and...
  • Gavin Newsom deals blow to reparations effort in California as he signs law that will see state formally apologise for legacy of slavery - but vetoes key property bill

    UK Daily Mail ^ | September 27 2024 | Sabrina Penty
    Governor Gavin Newsom has dealt a blow to reparations efforts in California that will see the state formally apologise for the lingering effects of slavery after he vetoed a key property bill. The rejected Senate Bill 1050 would have helped Black families reclaim or be compensated for property that was unjustly seized by the government through racially motivated eminent domain. The governor's reasons for not going ahead with the property proposal are because lawmakers blocked another bill to create a reparations agency that would have reviewed these claims, meaning the proposal wouldn't have been able to come into full effect.

    New York’s City Council is set to vote Thursday to authorize a controversial a task force to study reparations for black residents — a move that could lead to a call for billions in tax payer spending, as it has in other cities. The city legislation would charge a nine-member task force with examining the “impact of slavery and past injustices for African Americans in New York City” and determining what, if any, monetary or nonmonetary reparations are necessary. Minority Leader Joseph Borelli (R) told The Post he would leave the city before he paid reparations. “I’ll move before I’ll...

    Self-described “progressives” appear to be tiring of Kamala Harris’s effort to downplay her left-wing policies, and are reminding her that they do not want to be taken for granted as she tries to portray herself as a “moderate” candidate. While Harris told CNN last month, in her first and only media interview, that “my values have not changed,” Harris’s campaign has been telling the media that she no longer supports some of her most radical policies, such as canceling private health insurance, defunding the police, ending detention for illegal migrants, backing the “Green New Deal,” banning fracking, and other policies...
