Moratorium Demand: Muslim Activist Group Wants Biden to Ban Facial Recognition Technology

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 2 Comments

They claim it unfairly targets marginalized and over-surveilled groups in America—-like those patriots gathered to peacefully protest outside of the US Capitol on January 6th.

LOL! No, they aren’t defending patriots and so-called white nationalists. But, it sure would be a fun exercise if one of the Southern Poverty Law Centers latest “hate groups” contacted them and asked to be added to their coalition.

From CAIR:

CAIR-Washington, Civil Rights Groups Call on Biden to Halt Federal Use of Facial Recognition Technology

Brianna Auffray, Esq., is the Legal and Policy Manager at CAIR Washington, where she uses legal and grassroots advocacy solutions to represent discriminated individuals. https://crosscut.com/author/brianna-auffray

(SEATTLE, WA, 2/17/21) – The Washington state chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Washington) today joined a coalition of more than 40 organizations calling on President Biden to take executive action imposing a federal moratorium on the use of facial recognition technology.

The letter, sent by CAIR-Washington, the ACLU, Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and Amnesty International, among others, urges the Biden administration to take three critical steps addressing the use of facial recognition technology by the government.

Those steps include:

~placing a moratorium on all federal government use of facial recognition technology and other forms of biometric technology; [by the way, biometric technology is what the Leftie refugee contractors claim is keeping us safe from refugee fraud—ed]

~preventing state and local governments from using federal funds to purchase or access the technology;

~supporting legislation that would codify into law the federal moratorium and place additional limitations on federal funding of the technology.

Read the full letter is here: https://www.aclu.org/letter/coalition-letter-president-biden-use-facial-recognition-technology

“The use of face surveillance gives the government massively-enhanced powers to identify, locate, and track individuals based on images of their faces,” said Brianna Auffray, Legal and Policy Manager at CAIR-Washington.

“Even if this technology is perfectly accurate—which it is not—the threat of this surveillance has an outsized impact on historically over-surveilled communities.” [Yeh! Like those white nationalists and America First patriots!—ed]

Top Ten Fastest Growing Conservative Websites Identified

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 4 Comments

One of my favorites, Gateway Pundit, is near the top of the list.

Who needs Fox News and who needs Twitter*** just put these sites on your daily reading and watch list and you will be the best informed citizen in your neighborhood. But, just being well-informed doesn’t cut it.

Do not spend all of your time becoming a super-reader because you have work to do!  You have to be a community organizer for America First! from the bottom up!

My Community Organizing 101 series for patriots was launched last weekend (and it is for any and all issues, not just for how to organize on refugee/immigration issues).

Community Organizing 101 is also available on my sidebar under a photo of Obama giving instructions to his fellow Marxists.

What do we do now? Fight Back Locally!

So here are the top ten fastest growing conservative media outlets. Sorry the list is not very clear, go to Gateway Pundit for a clearer image.

Top five are OANN, Newsmax, The Gateway Pundit, The Epoch Times, and The Federalist.

 

*** As you know Twitter suspended me, took away all of my followers (there were 13,500 remaining before they wiped them out), and now won’t allow me to deactivate my account—-Why?  because I am suspended with no access to it.

Twelve-year-old Shoots Intruder! Biden Looking to Make it Harder for You to Protect Yourself

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 2 Comments

First, here is the news from North Carolina at Breitbart:

12-Year-Old Shoots Alleged Intruder to Save Grandmother

A 12-year-old Goldsboro, North Carolina, boy shot and killed an alleged home intruder Saturday night after that intruder allegedly shot his grandmother.

KIRO reports that two alleged intruders entered the home, both of whom fled when the 12-year-old grandson opened fire. One of the two, 19-year-old Khalil Herring, died the grandson shot him.

The boy’s grandmother had been shot by the intruder, but she is alive. One of the intruders isn’t.

ABC 11 reports that officers responded to a 911 call Saturday morning just after 1 a.m. and found the 73-year-old grandmother with a gunshot wound. They discovered Herring “at the intersection of William Street and Elm Street,” noting he was also suffering from a gunshot wound.

Both the grandmother and Herring were transported to a hospital. The grandmother survived but Herring succumbed to his injuries.

Read it all here.

Last night when I should have been doing some work, I spent  time (not wasted!) scrolling around at the Prepper blogs and although the media was already reporting it, I saw the news at Personal Defense World about the Biden administration’s plans to go after your guns.

What! So you would be at the mercy of those gang bangers I told you about in my previous post this morning?

Here is Personal Defense World‘s story yesterday about the latest Chairman Joe plan to strip you of your rights.  One more thing for you to get ready to do—defend the Second Amendment.

President Biden Calls on Congress for ‘Commonsense Gun Law Reform’

We finally heard the shot we’ve been expecting. President Joe Biden formally announced his plan to enact strict gun control policies today. The White House press release marks a move widely expected since Biden’s inauguration.

“Today, I am calling on Congress to enact commonsense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets,” Biden said in a release.

The press release backs up Biden’s previous campaign promises. On multiple occasions, Biden promised to ban “assault rifles” and “high-capacity magazines and more. He further promised to cripple the firearm industry by allowing frivolous lawsuits against gun companies. In short, he’s coming for your guns. Don’t let anyone ever suggest otherwise.

And, you might find this article very useful if you are one of those people who procrastinated in getting your self-defense house in order in the run-up to the election steal of 2020.

From Prepperswill:

Pros And Cons of Various Firearms For Home Defense

So, you’ve been watching the crime-filled news. You’ve probably heard stories from neighbors or friends about home break-ins. Maybe you’ve even been the victim of a home invasion. And you’ve finally decided to purchase a firearm. Great!

You are one step closer to being safer in your home. But now you have to decide which weapon you should purchase: handgun, assault rifle, or shotgun. Everybody you ask will have an opinion. But the choice must be yours and yours only.

Keep reading!

What do you do if you have never owned a gun?

Call a local gun shop and find out what training you need and what the legal requirements are in your state.  I am sure you will find them eager to help you get started.  And, don’t be embarrassed about being a newbie—there were millions of you in that same place in 2020.

Five million to be exact!

Community Organizing 101: Attack the Leftwing Ideology with Ridicule

 

Introduction…..

In a post at Refugee Resettlement Watch recently I asked if readers wanted some help getting started with a local political campaign to, let’s just say, ‘educate’ your communities about the US Refugee Admissions Program.

This is information you will need as the Biden/Harris administration is threatening to bring in more refugees in a year than have been admitted in nearly 30 years.  Congress isn’t going to save you from the upheaval, nor is your governor.

And, frankly you can’t count on any conservative or immigration restriction ‘think tank’ operating in Washington, DC either!

I told readers in response to my post that I would prepare a tutorial of sorts on how to begin.

Personal Story From a Reader Reminds Me! It is now up to YOU!

 

(And, by the way, when this question was asked of me in 2019, I wrote this post and kept it posted on my sidebar for over a year).

 

A Reader Asks: What Should We be Doing Now? Answer: Re-Elect Donald Trump in 2020!

You did great! He did win the election! But, alas, there is a usurper in the White House putting cornball cardboard hearts on the White House lawn today!

Here is what I am going to do. I am going to try to keep it simple and give readers weekly commonsense tips.  This tutorial post will be linked in my sidebar at both blogs and I will add to it weekly.  It will be up to you to come to either of my bogs to see what is new.

 

If he can do it, so can you!

 

If I try to explain how to ‘community organize’ all at one time, not only will you be overwhelmed, but my head will explode trying to write it all at once.

What I plan to describe can be applied to any issue you decide to undertake, but here is the basic idea—YOU MUST ACT LOCALLY!

I know it is fun to think and talk about national big issues and politicians at the top of the pyramid, but resist that temptation.

For example, shut up right now about who could possibly be a White House candidate in 2024 because when you spend precious time doing that, it might be fun, but you don’t accomplish anything!

Basically all you are doing is hankering for someone to save you, to save you from having to work hard to save us.

How has the Left taken over almost everything in some states as they now work on the states they haven’t captured yet.  They work locally.

I know it can be boring and just plain drudgery, but local is where you must begin.

It is winter, we are shut-in in many cases and not just because of the weather, but also due to the hysteria surrounding the Chinese virus.

Okay here we go with Lesson 1:

Get your facts by doing your homework!

This is the perfect time to do the most important and time-consuming step in any effort to act locally no matter what the issue.

Discipline yourselves! Make time every day to do your research.  On refugees for example, see my Knowledge is Power category. Or, search your state by name at RRW.

Search the internet, find out what has been happening in your state over the last couple of decades on the issue.  Call some government agencies.  Many states have a state refugee coordinator for example and politely get information from them about what is happening in your state.

Do not get adversarial with any government agency official, elected official or other citizens from whom you are seeking information. If you do, that is just dumb.  There may be time for that later, but not right away!

Oh and did I say: Learn the facts.

For example, you will never get anywhere if you spout off-about the southern border when you are trying to organize against the resettlement of refugees who are chosen by the UN and flown into the country to be distributed by one of the nine federal resettlement contractors.

If you want to organize against illegal aliens invading, that is fine and dandy, but don’t mix the two issues or you will be completely dismissed by the much more highly-informed advocates for open borders.

Enough said, time to go to work learning the facts about the issue around which you are organizing.

Priceless: Trump Defense Attorney Michael Van der Veen Rips the Media

No sooner had I posted my previous post and mentioned that the nut cases on the Left were attacking a winning legal team attorney by vandalizing his home and threatening his life, Philadelphia lawyer Michael Van der Veen, I saw this incredible CBS interview with him.

Trump Acquitted Again! MAGA Lives!

This is a video you should be sending far and wide.  The best slapdown of the media you may ever see…
