When Democrats cannot respond in a rational manner they become ornithologists and display their talon race cards,
As for voting reforms which he attacked, Biden probably has no idea which reforms the Georgia, Legislature has proposed because they were not written on his cheat sheets. With respect to what Georgia proposes they expand the time for early voting and when it comes to matters of identification Georgia follows what already are the laws of many Blue States. Biden's extemporaneous comments suggested his own state is sick and Jim Eagle like.
What's Really In The Georgia Election Law?
The hysteria over calling it Jim Crow 2.0 is a fundraising device for Democrats designed to amplify and enrage.

Governor Kemp has signed legislation in Georgia to reform the state-election process and nationally, Democrats and the media are losing their collective minds. Elizabeth Warren actually tweeted this out.
Elizabeth Warren @SenWarrenAri Berman @AriBerman
This is insane: Georgia Dem rep @Cannonfor58 was arrested for trying to watch Brian Kemp sign new voter suppression bill. Look at how she is treated by police. This is straight out of Jim Crow https://t.co/zRpMWumbkQ
CNN ran the following headline: “Georgia's new law suppressing the vote is a victory for Donald Trump.” One of the key points in this is the restriction of ballot drop boxes. Do you know what happens if the Georgia legislature does not pass a law on ballot drop boxes? They all go away.
In Georgia, ballot drop boxes are not part of the law. They were allowed because the governor of Georgia has an existing state of emergency declaration over COVID-19. As a result, the state authorized, by way of the governor's executive order, ballot drop boxes for people to drop off ballots. When the executive order on the emergency declaration goes away, the authorization for ballet drop boxes goes away. So what did the state legislature do? They legislated into law ballot drop boxes. You can now have ballot drop boxes in the state of Georgia. They can only be in boards of election offices or in places with early voting and they have to be collected by close of business and they have to be monitored. All of this is good.
You do not want people showing up and destroying the ballots by pouring water into the ballet drop boxes overnight when no one's looking. The hysteria over calling it Jim Crow 2.0 is a fundraising device for Democrats designed to amplify and enrage.
There is no difference between the Democrats calling this Jim Crow 2.0 “you got to stand and fight” and President Trump telling a crowd of supporters in Washington that you’ve got to march on the Capitol to defend the integrity of the election. There is no difference at all, except the media thought one was invalid and thought the other was valid, but they are the same damn thing.
State Rep. Park Cannon, a Democrat in the state legislature began to try to interfere with the governor's ability to sign the law last night and people on the left are hailing her as some sort of hero for trying to disrupt the lawful process of government. The same people hailing her as a hero were upset about the people storming the Capitol to try to stop the electoral college votes from being counted. It is the exact same thing. What you are seeing is the hypocrisy of the Democrats and the media who are fine when the left believes crazy conspiracy theories and upset when other people don't.
In Georgia, the law states that if you show up to vote, you must have a photo ID. You must have a driver's license number or the state will give you a free photo ID and you must have that number. What they've done with absentee ballots is instead of examining your signature on an absentee ballot that could change over time, you have to put your driver's license or photo ID number and birthday on the ballot which will be used to verify your identity. There will no longer be signature matches in the state, which is good. My signature on my voter registration card is different from my current signature.
A University of Georgia poll found that a majority of liberals, conservatives, black voters, white voters, men, and women actually supported requiring a photo ID copy be provided to vote absentee. The Republican law does not even go that far — merely requiring a drivers license number or a photo ID number with the photo ID freely provided.
There are a whole lot of people who are already filing lawsuits on this and using it as a fundraising opportunity. But what is in the law? Well, absentee voters will be required to submit their driver's license number or other documentation to verify their identity. There will be as little as one week of early voting before runoffs, down from the current three weeks. Why? Because the runoff will now be four weeks after the general election. That's very relevant here. In Georgia that used to be the law. The runoff happened just a few weeks after the general election. The Obama administration sued and said it wasn't enough time for military ballots. So they stretched it out over a three-month period. It will now be one month from the date of the general election. This is good news because there has been a widespread belief in Georgia among Democrats and Republicans that the runoff window is too long. They also will allow extra weekend voting in special elections.
The state elections board will be able to takeover County election boards when necessary. This is one of those issues where the Democrats are claiming conspiracy, but it's actually good.
For example, the Fulton County Board of Elections in Georgia is a highly incompetent Board of Elections. That County has hired and fired the same person over and over. Fulton never gets its act together and it has nothing to do with partisanship. Every election night, we are always waiting on Fulton to finish reporting. They'll be able to fix this.
The one thing I think is dumb is it outlaws distributing food and drinks to voters waiting in lines. I fail to see the merit in this. I don't have a problem if you want to distribute food and drinks to people standing in long lines waiting to vote as long as there's no political message.
Election workers will be required to count ballots without stopping until they're finished. This was my idea and I’m taking credit for it. Under current Georgia law, you can stop, go home, come back the next day, and pick up the ballots and hope that there's no hanky panky overnight while no one's looking. Under the new law, once you start counting the ballots you cannot stop. To accommodate this, the law allows the processing and counting of absentee ballots before the election. As absentee ballots come in, they will be able to be processed now, which is another good thing. So we're not waiting days and days and days for the absentee balloting process. This is all a really good idea.
The governor signed it last night and they're already filing lawsuits against it. I’m sure a left-wing judge will hear the case and try to obstruct the law by dragging it out. But I got to tell ya, I think this is a really good piece of legislation.
The hysteria from the national media on this is going to be overblown. They've had Stacey Abrams out everywhere making Jim Crow comparisons and it’s only just begun. The reason that national Democrats are screaming so much about Jim Crow and voter suppression is because they are trying to scare their base into continuing to vote for them. But you know what scares people more than requiring their driver's license number on a ballot? The Wokes costing them their job for something that's unacceptable this week but was perfectly acceptable last week.
That is why so many people are leaving the Democratic party and moving to the Republican Party.
A general overview of Biden’s first
press conference
From the very first moment of Biden’s first
press conference, one could tell that the days of Trump press conferences were
gone. You remember those days, don’t you? Gotcha questions, lectures, fights,
interruptions, blatant disrespect – not from Trump, but from the media. It was
they who created a sense of chaos and divisiveness, not Trump. It was very
different this time. The media were on their best behavior but even they
couldn’t protect Biden from himself. Other posts here address more
substantive issues raised in the press conference. This is just about style
points for both Biden and the media.
Speaking of the first moment, Kayleigh McEnany noticed something striking about the press:
Her hope was bound to be disappointed because the media’s softballs were something else entirely. Before that, though, Biden made a few statements. To this biased observer, it was obvious that Sleepy Joe had been given an infusion of something to wake him up. Maybe it was just a strong cup of coffee, but his dilated black pupils were unnerving. This meme, which predates the press conference, makes the point.
His eyes also reminded me of a silly shtick in the TV show Supernatural¸ which had two brothers fighting all the evil things out there, including demons. To demonstrate that someone was possessed by a garden-variety demon, the show invariably had their eyes go totally black – kind of like Joe’s:
Biden then took questions. He never looked at
the room. It was obvious that he was picking the names of a written list.
Moreover, when the chosen reporter asked his or her question, Biden immediately
had in front of him the appropriate notes to answer that question. Suspicious
much? As I’ll discuss below, though, even reading straight from his notes
didn’t prevent Biden from babbling and say strange things.
As is traditional, Biden asked his first
question of an AP reporter. “Zeke” asked a politely phrased question about
Biden’s challenges on “immigration reform, gun control, voting rights, climate
change,” when facing “stiff united opposition” from Republicans. Joe responded
by boasting about his COVID successes – all of which were solely due to Trump’s
efforts – and then babbled on.
The Emmy for most partisan, pandering question
went to NPR’s Yamiche Alcindor, a notorious activist pretending to be a
journalist. While the question was ostensibly about overcrowding at the border,
she led with this:
You’ve said over and
over again that immigrants shouldn’t come to this country right now. This isn’t
the time to come. That message is not being received. Instead, the perception
of you that got you elected as a moral decent man is the reason why a lot of
immigrants are coming to this country and entrusting you with unaccompanied minors.
Biden gratefully accepted her characterization
of him as “the nice guy.” You can read here Biden’s
myriad dishonest statements about the situation at the border. After he’d
spoken for a while, a mixture of lies, crude attacks on Trump, and confusing
statements, Biden suddenly stopped and said,
Am I giving you too long
an answer, because if you don’t want the detail. No, no, but I mean, I don’t
know how much detail you want about immigration. Maybe I’ll stop there.
That’s totally compos mentis.
When the subject of the filibuster came up,
Biden randomly announced, “I believe that we should go back to the position on
the filibuster that existed just when I came to the United States Senate 120
years ago.” He did not seem to be joking. The filibuster came into being in
1806, so 120 years (taking us back to 1901) was completely random. Media
outlets are now trying to play it as a joke but nobody laughed:
A real attempt at a joke that fell perfectly
flat was Biden's bizarre attempt to show that the filibuster is so evil that it
doesn't even relate to Jim Crow; instead, it's more closely associated with Jim
Crow's evil older cousin, "Jim Eagle"
Despite the left’s tender loving respect, he was
offended (and incoherent) when one reporter dared ask him about his running for
reelection:
Look, I don’t know where
you guys come from, man. I’ve never been able to travel. I’m a great respecter
of fate. I’ve never been able to plan four and a half, three and a half years
ahead for certain.
Biden did take care to avoid any rough handling.
Notably, he did not call on Fox’s Peter Doocy, who might actually have asked a
real question with a challenging follow-up.
Ominously, though, when asked if he thought he’d
be running against Trump in 2024, he said, “I have no idea whether there’ll be
a Republican party.” Given the Democrats’ efforts to jettison the filibuster
and create permanent one-party rule, that was a worrisome statement.
At the end of it all, even Chris Wallace, whose
disgraceful handling of the first presidential debate helped leverage Biden
into the White House, found the press conference disappointing and inadequate:
Otherwise, as Thomas Lifson said, it
was a boring press conference, with obsequious media and a man robotically
reading from his notes, except when he wandered off in confusion. The most exciting
thing about the press conference, if exciting is the right word, is the frisson
of fear every sane person should have felt knowing that Biden is the most
powerful man in America and that the Fourth Estate (and, in a way, Fifth
Column) will do anything to keep him propped up.
