Biden orders end of federally run private prisons

https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-race-and-ethnicity-prisons-coronavirus-pandemic-c8c246f00695f37ef2afb1dd3a5f115e

President Joe Biden on Tuesday ordered the Department of Justice to end its reliance on private prisons and acknowledge the central role government has played in implementing discriminatory housing policies.

In remarks before signing the order, Biden said the U.S. government needs to change “its whole approach” on the issue of racial equity. He added that the nation is less prosperous and secure because of the scourge of systemic racism.

“We must change now,” the president said. “I know it’s going to take time, but I know we can do it. And I firmly believe the nation is ready to change. But government has to change as well.”

Biden rose to the presidency during a year of intense reckoning on institutional racism in the U.S. The moves announced on Tuesday reflect his efforts to follow through with campaign pledges to combat racial injustice.

How many of these Trump calls were made this weekend?

At first glance, it seems obvious that he called Georgia because of the upcoming runoff election. But that was barely brought up during the one hour call. Did he call and threaten the Secretaries of State of every swing state this weekend?

My gut instinct is that Georgia is not alone and there are potentially several calls that could be released.

Has anyone checked in on Free Republic, Conservative Cave or Hide 5?

I think someone may need to do a wellness check on them.

Followed by a Red Flag visit.

Not it.

Susan Collins just dropped below 50%

That means Ranked Choice Voting kicks in and almost guarantees a win for Sara Gideon.

Typhoid Amy

4 members of the White House (including the president), 2 Republican senators on the Judiciary Committee and the head of the RNC have come down with Coronavirus in the last 24 hours.

The one thing all seven have in common: recent face to face meetings with Amy Barrett.

Republicans haste to fill RBG's seat has doomed them.

The scary part about the NY Times tax report

We now know Trump is broke. He has nothing personally to lose anymore. Any thought that he wouldn't do anything illegal or fascist to stay in power should be abandoned. Trump must be crushed and defeated in as overwhelming a way as possible. Give him no room to steal the lawful election of Joe Biden.

Biden's skin isn't thick, it's bulletproof

Trump tried again and again to provoke and taunt Biden and all he got from Biden was that smile and a chuckle. There was one president on thst stage tonight with the temperament and wisdom to lead our nation and it wasn't Donald Trump.
