Biden shows his true colors on crime
One of the factors Sen. Tom Cotton cited as contributing to the wave of violent crime is the unwillingness of big city prosecutors (some elected thanks to cash from George Soros) to prosecute entire categories of misdemeanors. I agree that this, coupled with a more lenient overall approach by local prosecutors, is a contributing factor.
Joe Biden seems determined to make things even worse by appointing soft-on-crime federal prosecutors. I infer this from his selection of Erek Barron to be U.S. Attorney for Maryland. The Washington Post describes Barron as “a member of the [Maryland] General Assembly’s Legislative Black Caucus and a champion of criminal justice reform.” It notes that he and seven other members of that caucus drafted “police reform” legislation after the death of George Floyd.

WASHINGTON - The White House projected calm even as it confirmed a breakthrough infection on its own staff Tuesday, sticking to its message that vaccines and safety protocols would keep Americans safe from coronavirus as the Delta variant moves through the country.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday that a fully vaccinated staffer had tested positive for the coronavirus, shortly after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi s office confirmed one of her staff had tested positive.
The Pelosi staffer had contact with Texas lawmakers who are in Washington to prevent passage of a voting bill in their home state. Six members of that delegation have tested positive for the coronavirus in recent days.
