Bernie will probably back-track some and blame his lie on the media by saying that

He was quoting a quote from the media and not quoting Hillary. But he will stand by his statement about Hillary being unqualified for office. Because if he takes that back, his followers will not like it.

Leaving out the part of the Morning Joe interview in which Joe asked if Sanders was "qualified"

is just so dishonest. Joe was the only one using those words "qualified" "unqualified" Yet the media will not call him or Sanders out about the lying. The media will never admit they started the entire thing intending to hurt Hillary.

When you raise your hands, make quotation marks with your fingers to indicate that you

are quoting the words that were not spoken by someone...it means you intended to lie.

I thought this deserved a post of its own. Since Bernie gets to rationalize his votes that are not

so progressive and he slams Hillary every chance he gets about her Iraq war vote. I even learned some things from this post. Tweeted the link and two Bernie supporters blocked me from tweeting to them. Guess the info didn't fit their preconceived notions.

NYC murder rate at all time low.

New York City saw a significant drop in major crimes in the first quarter of 2016 with the fewest murders and shootings in its recorded history, Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) announced during a Monday press conference.

“We are the safest big city in America. This quarter’s statistics prove it once again,” de Blasio said.

In the first three months of the year, New York City saw a 21 percent drop in murders compared with the same period last year, a statistic de Blasio called “extraordinary.” The city also saw a 14 percent decrease in shootings compared with those months in 2015.

The mayor, along with New York City Police Commissioner Bill Bratton and other law enforcement personnel, spoke about the significant drops in several major crime categories across the city.

De Blasio said the statistics are linked to an increased focus from the New York City Police Department on getting guns off the streets — the NYPD has already seized over 800 guns, a more than 15 percent increase compared with the first quarter of 2015. Gun arrests are also up by about 13 percent, de Blasio said.

Hillary is on The View right now. nt

That was some championship game!! Villanova WINS buzzer 3 pointer!!! nt

Watched the WI last Bernie event. Heard a lot about the criminal justice system and removing

marijuana from the controlled substance list. I agree with this and decriminalizing it. I won't argue about the criminal justice system being unjust and discriminatory because it really, really is. But something else comes to my mind about the Crime Bill signed by Bill Clinton and voted FOR by one Bernie Sanders with no apologies and for which Hillary is not held as responsible for its passage if not its very existence.

While I understand and appreciate the BLM movement i am somewhat amazed by their lack of historical perspective as well as their failure to hold BS to the same standards...at least with respect to the Crime legislation ..as they do Hillary. I lived through that era and I know for certain that it just wasn't just white people in suburbia calling for tougher law enforcement against crime. It was the black mothers and fathers and grandparents who were calling for help against the terror they felt within their own neighborhoods (remember neighborhood watch?). It was the robbing and mugging of their elders and the enticing to the dark side of their innocent children that made many of them overlook the potential consequences of a law that was UNJUSTLY executed and enforced. (I had two members of my immediate and three members of my extended family shot and killed or overdosed on the street or in an alley of our neighborhoods in Philadelphia, Chicago, LA and Cleveland.)

I was afraid for my own children. And damn it, we did get some relief in some quarters from the incessant threat of being mugged or robbed after the bill was passed and the community policing began.

But it all went badly wrong when the law was not justly enforced and when it allowed black youth to be targeted while allowing white youths who were equally as criminal go unpunished or never even charged or arrested for the same behavior and crimes that black and Latino youth were arrested and booked for. Many white teens and other whites were never even arrested especially if it was known they were on their second of three strikes.

So yes, it turned out to be a bad law and the "three strikes" provision was the worst of it with its mandatory minimums. But if whites had been apprehended, arrested, and booked according to their criminal involvement that law would have been overturned within 18 months of enactment. Remember, skinheads and bikers ran huge criminal drug operations but were seldom even looked at by law enforcement.

The bill that passed was going to pass with or without Bill Clinton's signature since he had previously vetoed two previous and more harsh bills. He negotiated for the community policing provisions and the mid-night basketball and other provisions that actually were put in the bill to try to prevent the need for such drastic law enforcement. But that history is conveniently overlooked as is Bernie Sander's role in passage of the legislation. And remember, most of the Black Caucus at that time voted for the bill. As I recall, Lewis and Conyers voted against the bill and the further militarization of the police forces, but of the Caucus voted for it.

Some black activists who are all too happy to stoke the fires of hate against the Clintons are the main ones who do not want to be reminded that Bernie did, in fact, vote for this bill. But then, we know Hillary made him do it.

Gone "vetting" Some one has. BS and his investments

I tried to tweet informative links about some of BS's past votes and his involvement in

Sierra Blanca to a few BS supporters on Twitter. After I tweeted the links guess what happened?

All eight of them blocked me from further tweets to them. Unreal! They really don't want to hear anything negative about Bernie even if it is true but they will view and retweet whatever is negative about Hillary.
I guess they really don't want Bernie vetted after all?
