Appearing on Steve Malzberg’s weekly Sunday commentary show “Eat the Press” Dr. John Lott, president of the Crime Prevention Research Center and author of Gun Control Myths , blasted President Joe Biden’s recent gun control proposals, claiming they were based on “lies” and will endanger “blacks and hispanics” living in high crime urban areas. After Malzberg called out Biden for denying he intends to limit the Second Amendment while saying “in the next breath” that “no amendment to the Constitution is absolute,” Lott replied that, “In ten minutes or so [Biden] literally made about at least two dozen different lies on [the subject],” with some of the claims being “so outrageous.” “It’s just like one false claim after another,” he added. One example Lott cited was Biden’s claim that the “alleged” reason for the substantial increase in homicides last year was due to a “lack of gun control.” “You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to realize that when you have inmates being released from jails and prisons, and some in a number of places more than fifty percent of the inmates being released; when you have police being ordered to stand down and not do their jobs; when you have police budgets being cut and prosecutors in major urban areas refusing to prosecute violent criminals; if you make it so that criminals aren’t being caught, and when they are caught — not being punished, and it’s not risky for them to commit crime, guess what? They’re going to commit more crime.” Lot added the “irony” of the situation is Biden is “claiming that he cares about poor blacks and hispanics that live in these high crime urban areas,” yet “the proposals that he wants are actually going to harm them.” “It’s going to make it so those are the very people who aren’t going to be able to afford the fees and other costs that he’s imposing on law-abiding gun owners,” Lott elaborated.

Report: Florida’s Transgender Sports Ban Expected to Fail in GOP-Controlled Senate
State Lawmakers in Florida are poised to reject legislation that would put in place a law to protect female athletes from competing against biological men who consider themselves transgender, according to Politico . The bill specifically would athletes must participate in K-12 and college sports according to their biological sex. “Ding dong the witch is dead,” Democrat Sen. Janet Cruz tweeted ahead of the expected vote. ”Rip Transgender bill.” Ding dong the witch is dead. Rip Transgender bill! pic.twitter.com/RYYMzbBuqe — Janet Cruz (@SenJanetCruz) April 20, 2021 The Politico report said: The issue was magnified last week when the NCAA put states like Florida on notice just before the Florida House voted for the measure, warning that locations that don’t treat all student athletes with “dignity and respect” could be ineligible to host future championship games. A top Senate panel on Tuesday put off considering the ban, a move that signals the upper chamber is reluctant to move forward with the bill. The proposal’s sponsor, powerful Senate budget chief Kelli Stargel, said her attention will be on finishing the state budget with less than two weeks left in session. its transgender sports bill , dubbed the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, on April 14 by a 77-40 mostly party-line vote, with all but one Democrat opposing. “Right now, my primary focus as Appropriations Chair is our constitutional responsibility to pass a balanced budget,” Stargel, a Republican who represents Lakeland, said in a statement to Politico. “And in a time-limited environment, I don’t know that we will have sufficient time to revisit SB 2012 this session.” Those who support the bill said it is necessary to protect discrimination against females based on their biological sex, in this case, being forced to compete against men in sports. The protection is guaranteed under the federal Title IX statute, which President Joe Biden expanded in his early days in office ...
De Blasio revisits last year’s failed NYPD plan in effort to curb gun violence
close Video Suspect accused of attacking NYPD officer released without bail Joe Borelli, New York City councilman, argues 'when Democrats control every level of government,' crimes go 'unpunished.' Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan to curb the surging gun violence in NYC is to try out the failed policing strategy from last year — but this time, with 100 fewer cops. The NYPD will reassign 200 cops to areas where the Big Apple has seen the highest rates of gun violence as part of their annual Summer All Out program, the mayor said Tuesday. NYPD Chief of Department Rodney Harrison said the "bulk" of those cops would be moved to East New York and Brownsville, which have seen gun violence upticks of 67% and 88%, respectively. DE BLASIO, NYPD ASK NYC TV STATIONS TO KEEP COPTERS CLEAR OF DEMONSTRATIONS TO AVIOID, 'HEIGHTENING TENSIONS' He also noted Bronx neighborhoods, Mott Haven, Highbridge and Crotona, would get some additional patrols. But all of those areas were also a policing focus last year during the summer when the city saw a months-long surge in gun violence and assigned 300 cops to the "Summer All Out" initiative. "We’re going to make sure that the officers are where we need them to be and we’ll make adjustments constantly," de Blasio said when asked about the similarities to last year’s plan, which failed to combat the surge in gunplay. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP De Blasio chalked up 2020’s skyrocketing shooting totals to the effect the pandemic had on the city. "Last year again. Perfect Storm. Literal Perfect Storm. Global pandemic. Society shut down, a million jobs lost… everything went wrong simultaneously," the mayor said, brushing off any comparison to this year. Yet, gunplay in New York City still continues the 2020 trend — outpacing the year prior each week. This story first appeared in the New York Post . ...

In recorded remarks , Ducey blasted President Biden Joe Biden Biden overruled Blinken, top officials on initial refugee cap decision: report Suicide bombing hits Afghan security forces Jim Jordan, Val Demings get in shouting match about police during hearing MORE ’s handling of the surge, saying the administration was "totally divorced from reality." ADVERTISEMENT “I said last month that the Biden administration is totally divorced from reality,” Ducey said. “Now, at times it seems like they fully understand the reality and they’re putting their heads in the sand and trying to ignore it anyway.” Ducey’s office said in a statement that the troops will go to border communities to help with medical operations in detention centers, install and maintain border cameras, monitor and collect data from public safety cameras and analyze satellite imagery for smuggling. An initial $25 million will be directed toward the deployment, though it’s unclear how long it would last.

Tucker Carlson: Maxine Waters shows her true beliefs once again
close Video Tucker: Maxine Waters believes in mob violence for political ends 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' host explains how the left relies on 'intimidation' to get what it wants Closing arguments in former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin's murder trial concluded Monday. Now, Americans have heard quite a bit about George Floyd over the last year and formed their own opinions, but most still cannot say with any specificity just how he died. That, of course, is the essence of the whole story, how Floyd died. So the closing arguments are a chance to assess actual evidence in the case. You would think that would be good news -- more facts, which we could always use. But no, said the media, facts no longer matter, not when BLM's founding myth is at stake. Evidence only counts in countries that have due process, something that they are now telling us is an ugly relic of institutional racism. When unpopular people seem guilty, you just go ahead and punish them. That's the new rule. Years ago, we called this lynching. Now we call it equity. CNN's chief legal analyst, a Princeton graduate called Laura Coates, explained this Monday morning on Twitter. "Defense begins the closing by defining reasonable doubt, not with why #DerekChauvin is innocent," she tweeted. "Think about that." Well, as it happens, we have thought about that. We've thought about it because that is the core principle of our entire justice system in the United States. You are not required to prove your innocence. That's China. In the United States, the government has to prove your guilt. If they can't prove your guilt, they have to let you go. That's the American system. There's no other system that you would want to live under, but then you're not Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif. Waters has never believed in Western justice. For decades, she supported the totalitarian government of Cuba, which replaced jury trials with summary mass executions ...
