BLM/ANTIFA Shut Down Minneapolis in Derek Chauvin Trial Jury Intimidation

BREAKING NEWS: The start of Derek Chauvin’s trial has been delayed until tomorrow morning. Demonstrators are outside the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis to protest police brutality. pic.twitter.com/RMbmYd4C4T— Amudalat Ajasa (@AmudalatAjasa) March 8, 2021   BLM/ANTIFA protestors closed several city blocks in downtown Minneapolis on Monday, establishing a presence as trial proceedings for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin began. More than $1 million has been spent to erect fencing and security barriers on the part of the city of Minneapolis, which expects a new wave of left-wing rioting and destruction in the event that Chauvin is acquitted of killing George Floyd. The protest occurred as legal authorities began jury selection in the trial of Chauvin, with potential jurors likely confronted with the protestors as they arrived at the Hennepin County Government Center. Jury selection was ultimately postponed for a day, with a judge waiting for the state…

Ga. state senate passes election reform legislation that would eliminate no-excuse absentee voting

The Georgia senate passed election reform legislation on Monday that contains various components, including that it would eliminate no-excuse absentee voting and limit mail-in ballots to individuals who qualify based on specific criteria. The bill now moves on to the Georgia House Elections Integrity Committee where it is anticipated that it will pass in the next few weeks, according to the Epoch Times, which noted that there is a key deadline approaching: "The bill must pass by March 31 to have a chance of becoming law by the end of the 2021 legislative session in Georgia, subject to Gov. Brian Kemp's decision whether to sign or veto it," the outlet reported.

N.Y. GOP introducing resolution to impeach Gov. Cuomo

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) said lawmakers will have to try and impeach him if they want him out of office, and it appears they’re heading in that direction. Republicans in the New York State Assembly unveiled plans to get the ball rolling on impeachment proceedings, in the latest blow from Cuomo’s swirling scandals. New York Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay (R) said the scandals are impacting Cuomo’s ability to govern on a daily basis. “In order to lead this great state as governor, you need to have credibility and trust,” Barclay stated. “Unfortunately, we feel the governor has lost that and now has an inability to lead.” Barclay added while they cannot force the Democrat-controlled assembly to take up the measure, at least 30 Democrat lawmakers have called on Cuomo to resign. read more here: https://www.oann.com/n-y-gop-introducing-resolution-to-impeach-gov-cuomo/

Eleanor Holmes Norton Says Lack Of Attack On March 4 Proves ‘Congress Is Afraid Of Its Own Shadow’

Democratic Washington, D.C., Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton slammed the continued military presence and extensive fencing around the Capitol building in a Monday radio appearance. “As you may have heard, on March 4, the House left early, because of a threat. You will note that nothing happened on March 4. Now we have a Congress afraid of its shadow,” Holmes Norton said on the March 8 episode of “Mornings on the Mall.” “I don’t think there is the kind of threat that could keep us away from the Capitol, [justify] razor wire [around] the Capitol, or fencing around the Capitol. I believe that because the Capitol Police didn’t do their job on Jan. 6, any chatter that looks like there could be a crowd coming, even not a crowd, is all it takes to have them trying to do what they should have done on Jan. 6. That is why Congress itself has got to step in, so that, as you indicate, we don’t militarize our Capitol,” Holmes Norton said in response to a question from co-host Mary Walter about…

Manchin threatens to block climate bill unless Republicans have a seat

Sen. Joe Manchin threatened to block President Biden’s climate change and infrastructure package unless Republicans have more of a voice in the negotiation process than they did with the coronavirus stimulus bill. Manchin, a moderate Democrat from West Virginia who has emerged as a critical swing vote in the narrowly divided Senate, said he would use his position as chairman of the Senate Energy Committee to hold up the legislation unless the GOP has input.   “I’m not going to do it through reconciliation,” ​he told “Axios on HBO” in an interview that aired Sunday. “I am not going to get on a bill that cuts them out completely before we start trying.” read more: https://nypost.com/2021/03/08/sen-joe-manchin-threatens-to-block-climate-bill-unless-gop-has-seat/

Pelosi facing dissent, AOC ire on ‘failure’ $1.9T COVID aid bill

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is facing dissent in her caucus ahead of Tuesday’s vote to confirm the passage of the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill. With the Democrats’ slim 221-211 House advantage, Pelosi can afford no more than four defections in the vote scheduled for Tuesday. But two members of her caucus, Reps. Marcia Fudge of Ohio and Deb Haaland of New Mexico, could be confirmed to Biden administration posts as soon as Wednesday. That could further amplify gripes coming from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other left-leaning House comrades after some of their major initiatives were stripped out of the American Rescue Plan Act - and test Pelosi’s ability to keep her troops in line. AOC retweeted a message from her fellow Democrat, New Jersey Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Friday night. “What are we doing here?” Watson Coleman complained in a tweet that bemoaned the elimination of a federal minimum-wage increase and a cut to unemployment benefits. “I’m frankly disgusted with some…
