Symone Sanders now

In the past month, Kamala Harris has lost her:

- Senior Adviser

- Communications Director

- Director of Press Operations

- Deputy Director of the Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental affairs.

Kamala’s office is hit by ANOTHER high level departure as chief spokeswoman who helped spearhead VP’s approach to border crisis quits amid whispering campaign over Harris’s dwindling chances of become President

^^^Wait, there was a spearheaded approach to the border crisis...

DCCC = Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee



Thanks, Joe Biden

After you jacked the price of gas to $3.40 per gal, you did something to drop it 2 cents

Thanks again big guy

Maybe he dropped the price in China- certainly not around these parts. What an ass Biden is.

Psaki claims COVID is ‘root cause’ for wave of looting incidents

https://nypost.com/2021/12/02/...se-of-looting-in-us/

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday said the COVID-19 pandemic is “a root cause” of recent organized looting incidents across the country.

Psaki gave the surprising remark when asked at her daily briefing about large groups that have for weeks been descending upon San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago-area shops.

“Big cities are dealing with smash-and-grab robberies, a record number of police officers have been shot and killed this year. What is President Biden going to do about all this lawlessness?” asked Fox News reporter Peter Doocy.

Psaki at first pinned the blame on former President Donald Trump for not offering more funding to local police before turning the blame on the pandemic.

“Well, Peter, I would say that when the president proposed additional funding in his budget over the funding that had been proposed by the prior president to increase in support local police departments, make sure we keep cops on the beat,” she said.

“Does the president still think that crime is up because of the pandemic?” Doocy further asked.

“I think many people have conveyed that and also one of the … root causes of crime in communities is guns and gun violence. And we’ve seen that statistically around the country,” Psaki answered.

“So when a huge group of criminals organizes themselves and they want to go loot a store — a CVS, a Nordstrom, a Home Depot until the shelves are clean — do you think that’s because of the pandemic?” Doocy pressed.

“I think a root cause in a lot of communities is the pandemic, yes,” Psaki said.

The recent incidents featured groups converging on shops and making off like bandits — recalling widespread looting in May and June 2020 during nationwide protests and riots after the murder of George Floyd.

Unlike last year, the latest incidents generally aren’t linked to broader civil unrest and appear to be organized operations with theft as the sole goal.

Nearly two weeks ago, about 80 people on Nov. 21 raided a San Francisco-area Nordstrom department store. They drove off in two dozen cars with up to $200,000 in goods, police said.

The stunning incident was repeated in other cities.

A band of about 20 thieves stormed into a Los Angeles Nordstrom on Nov. 22 and stole $5,000 worth of items. On Nov. 24, five people maced a security guard at a different LA Nordstrom location and stole $25,000 in handbags.

Also on Nov. 24, a group of four looted an Apple store in Santa Rosa, north of San Francisco, and stole $20,000 worth of electronics in broad daylight. On Nov. 26, a Black Friday group of about 10 people raided a Los Angeles Home Depot and stole hammers, sledgehammers and crowbars.

In Chicago, 14 suspects looted a Louis Vuitton luxury shop on Nov. 17 and carried off $120,000 in merchandise. On Nov. 19, a group emerged from two or three cars to storm a Neiman Marcus in Chicago.

Some Democratic politicians blamed past looting on COVID-19-related financial woes. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Bronx and Queens) famously said in July 2020 that a crime wave was caused by people who “need to feed their child and they don’t have money.”

Psaki didn’t flesh out her reasoning for why the pandemic is to blame for the recent looting raids. But lower-income people have been disproportionately socked during the first year of the Biden administration by the highest inflation in 31 years, which has raised costs for food and transportation. Democrats generally say inflation is the result of the pandemic, while President Biden’s critics blame his policies.

Conservative politicians have blamed increases in violent and property crime on permissive policies that allow for light punishment for such deeds.

wait joe, we need to talk

China and India, actually. 18 million barrels of low-grade stuff goes to them. The other 32 million barrels might create a blip in pricing here sometime between New Year's and, I dunno, Easter? Assuming the big freeze some expect this January doesn't occur and simply suck it up like it was nothing.

The grab and run stealing has been going on for years and it was a cyclic thing. Now, with social media, along with reduced staffing for police and stores coupled with no time in jail even IF they are caught (most jails only holding for violent crime if that based on Covid and Staffing reductions), it is much more organized and big time money for the crooks.

Anyone remember "Baghdad Bob" from Desert Storm I? If not look up some videos. "Peppermint Patty" Psaki makes "Baghdad Bob" look like a sterling example of truth.

According to Joe, he's been swapping spit with one of his grandkids who's got a cold. At least that's how I interpreted it.

Over the last few days the MSM has been totally tripping out about these alleged reports that Trump was out and about doing stuff even after he had been diagnosed with Covid, which I think is complete bullshit.

How much do you want to bet that Dementia Joe here actually has a case of Covid and is out there hacking up phlegm all over everyone but his handlers are too terrified to do anything about it?



He looks and sounds like total shit.

Probably while taking a shower with them like he reportedly did w his daughter Ashley...

In this case, Im rooting for the virus, whatever kind it might be.

So…. I sit down this evening and I check the news. Now I had been driving all day, and I had heard about Biden’s cough and how gas prices were actually down (wink wink). But it wasn’t until I sat down and checked the internet that I learned that Governor DeSantis had formed up a Florida Guard.

From what I have read he is readying his troops to reclaim the eastern US. All the lefties are proclaiming that these troops will either challenge the US military for dominance or hunt down escaped slaves. No consensus on which one yet.

It all sounds very exciting.

I’m in North Carolina but if General DeSantis marches north with The Grand Army of The Everglades let me know. I’ll join and be the drummer boy or something. Maybe I could carry your guidon? I’m short but I have carried one before. How many months do I have to serve to get Floridian citizenship? Maybe earn a plot of land on the panhandle to raise a few chickens in peace when the war ends?

DeSantis Proposes a New Civilian Military Force in Florida That He Would Control

But in a nod to the growing tension between Republican states and the Biden administration over the National Guard, DeSantis also said this unit, called the Florida State Guard, would be "not encumbered by the federal government." He said this force would give him "the flexibility and the ability needed to respond to events in our state in the most effective way possible." DeSantis is proposing bringing it back with a volunteer force of 200 civilians, and he is seeking $3.5 million from the state legislature in startup costs to train and equip them.
