CURRENT EVENTS July 14 - July 20


The U.S. Justice Department has asked a federal judge to sentence a former Louisville police officer who was convicted last year of violating Breonna Taylor's civil rights to serve just one day in prison, despite the fact the conviction carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.
In a court filing, the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division late on Wednesday downplayed the conviction of former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison, noting he "did not shoot Ms. Taylor and is not otherwise responsible for her death."

Republicans on Senate Panel Vote to Advance Bove’s Nomination After Democrats Storm Out​

An even more intense battle is expected on the Senate floor over the nomination of a Trump immigration policy enforcer to a lifetime judicial post.


“… Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously approved the nomination after Democrats stormed out in protest when the panel’s chairman, Senator Charles E. Grassley, called the roll before every Democrat on the committee had a chance to air their objections.

“Sir, this lacks decency,” said Senator Cory Booker, a New Jersey Democrat, his voice raised and visibly agitated. “It lacks decorum. It shows that you do not want to simply hear from your colleagues. This is absolutely wrong!”

Mr. Grassley ignored him and plowed on. In a voice vote, committee Republicans voted to confirm Mr. Bove, 44, to a lifetime appointment on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, which encompasses Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. …”

I watched this charade yesterday. Absolute clown show. The current republican party is a damn circus.
 
“… Trump posted on Truth Social, “I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert! Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show.”…”

I'd be interested to see what's behind the higher birthrate in America. I'm betting that it will be due to a higher birthrate among our immigrant population, which is much larger share of our population than it is in China, Japan, or South Korea. It would be ironic indeed if the very people Trumpers want to eliminate are the also the very people keeping our birthrate higher and thus pushing our economy along.

Indeed. But it's not just immigrants. It's Catholics and evangelicals too. They aren't plentiful in China, Japan or Korea
