CCTV Video Shows Uvalde Police Unit with Heavy Weapons and Ballistic Shield Inside School 19 Minutes After Shooter Entered, Police Waited Another 58 Minutes Before Engaging Shooter.

Some very good reporting here from local journalists with KVUE and the Austin-American Statesman. Local journalists were able to view CCTV video from inside Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, showing heavily armed police were in the building with at least one ballistic shield only 19 minutes after the school shooter entered the building.

In a very disturbing update to the story.  KVUE has outlined a new timeline with the details from the CCTV system, showing the police had all the resources they needed to deal with the shooter, yet they stood down for an additional 58 minutes and waited.  The local media broadcast is below.  Senior KVUE Reporter Tony Plohetski discusses the details of surveillance footage taken at Robb Elementary. WATCH:

UVALDE, Texas — On Monday, KVUE and its news partners at the Austin American-Statesman exclusively obtained surveillance footage from inside Robb Elementary School on the day of the May 24 shooting.

The footage shows that multiple officers were inside the building with rifles and at least one ballistic shield, 19 minutes after the gunman arrived. They didn’t enter the classroom the shooter was inside for nearly another hour. (read more)

How could they not enter the classroom and try to rescue the kids?

Everything about this failure to act by law enforcement is very disturbing.

Biden Denies Likelihood of Recession Hours After Talking to Larry Summers who Warned Him Recession is Certain


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 20, 2022 | Sundance

Joe Biden gave an impromptu interview with media at the beach in Delaware early this morning.  There is a lot going on in the video of the interview below.

First, Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley Biden (jean shorts and green shirt), is obviously on alert and assigned to the role of Joe’s handler during this outing.  Two parents asked Joe for a picture with their daughter, a little girl in a bathing suit.  It appears Ashley was nervous about the optics and made some quick moves when creepy Joe gets ‘handsy.’  WATCH:

.

Secondly, if you have watched the video, you will notice Joe Biden said he talked to Larry Summers this morning.  Yesterday on Meet the Press, Summers stated a recession was a certainty given the status of the economic conditions.  However, creepy Joe says today he doesn’t believe a recession is likely.

Congresswoman-elect Mayra Flores, R-Texas, appeared on ‘Sunday Morning Futures’ with Maria Bartiromo to discuss how she was able to flip a 100-year democrat seat to her republican side due to Biden’s economic policy in combination with the cultural craziness that has infected the democrat party.  WATCH:

Chuck Todd Pretends Not to Know Things


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 19, 2022 | Sundance

In a segment intended to protect the Biden regime from the outcome of their energy policies, the latest distraction is to claim gas prices are not high when “adjusted” to account for the inflation that Joe Biden has created.

Due to the scale of impact from Biden energy policy there is no real way to obfuscate at a level that hides reality.  However, Chuck Todd from NBC gives it a try.

.

Comrades, if you can fill up your car with 2010 gas prices, paid for with 2010 wages….  Then surely you can fill up your pantry with 2010 food prices… while living in your house with 2010 mortgage or rent prices…. or something.

The laughable segment is below.

Sunday Talks, NEC Director Brian Deese Explains Biden Inflation Solution, Raise Taxes, Take Over Drug Prices and Subsidize Energy Costs for Poor Americans


Posted originally on the conservative

NEC Director Brian Deese delivers a consistent blend of words, claimed to be economic policy, that make absolutely no sense.  Deese is almost as bad at parse tongue gibberish as Pete Buttigieg and Kamala Harris, but not quite up to their level.   Many will think Deese is uniquely unqualified. However, if you accept that Deese job is to be the distracting front man -spewing nonsense platitudes while others detonate the economic explosives- then he is being successful.

Deese appeared for two interviews, one on Fox News Sunday {SEE HERE} and on on CBS {SEE FULL INTERVIEW HERE}. Fox News (Shannon Bream) attempted zero pushback on Deese ridiculous claims.  CBS (Margaret Brennan) at least pushed back a little harder.  However, we must accept both media outlets are advancing the same corporate agenda by playing the pretend game with Deese appearances.

Deese used the word “transition” eleven times in both interviews in relationship to the economy.   Deese was never asked what this actual “transition” is that he speaks so often about.  At certain trigger points Deese gets down to political nonsense when he says what the Biden team is doing to combat inflation.  He brings up three legislative priorities that he claims will lower consumer costs: (1) raise taxes; (2) federal takeover of all Rx prices; and (3) subsidize energy prices for low-income Americans.   That’s the plan; at least that’s what his unserious word assemblies are intended to claim as a plan, and he’s sticking to it while the media nods along.  WATCH:

{Full Interview with Brennan Here}

FYI, the Brian Deese economic plan is also the Larry Summers economic plan as outlined on Meet the Press {SEE HERE}.  At this point the entire DC system, including both democrat and republican wings of the UniParty vulture, are in alignment to fundamentally change the U.S. economy, justified via climate change, and kick start their carbon trading platform.    There is no entity in/around Washington DC trying to stop the economic collapse caused by energy policy.

Sunday Talks, Treasury Secretary Yellen Claims Biden Energy Policy Not Responsible for Biden Energy Prices


Posed originally on the conservative tree house on June 19, 2022 | Sundance 

This interview is nothing but gaslighting crazy talk from an insufferable ideologue who is responsible for managing the insane policy driven consequences of transitioning from oil, gas and coal into an era where windmills and solar panels provide U.S. electricity.  Janet Yellen is the decline manager.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen begins the interview by denying the U.S. economy is shrinking.  Literally in the first answer Yellen says the economy “has been growing at a very rapid rate as the labor rate has reached full employment, it’s natural now that we expect a transition to steady and stable growth.”  Obviously, in order to say the economy has been growing, Yellen needs to pretend not to know the first quarter GDP was -1.5% as measured.  But wait… it gets more ridiculous….

At 06:30 of the interview, Yellen claims with a straight face that U.S. energy policy, which includes massive amounts of new crushing regulations from Biden, is not responsible for U.S. oil and gasoline prices.   WATCH (prompted):

 

Sunday Talks, View of Cleveland Fed Reserve Bank President Shows Massive Economic Disconnect in Causation


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 19, 2022 | Sundance

Loretta Mester is the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and appeared on CBS Face the Nation to give her opinion/analysis of the US. economic condition.  The disconnect in her viewpoint is alarming and should signal to everyone how the Federal Reserve Board, just like every institution of government, has become a political agency.

In her mind Ms. Mester appears to believe what she is saying, but the disconnect between her view of our status and the reality on Main Street is alarming.  In this interview Mester says emphatically that current inflation is being driven by consumer demand that is outpacing supply.  Not only is this view of inflation origination wrong, and has been wrong for well over a year, it is dangerous.

Inflation has been driven by spending (dollar devaluation & artificial stimulus), and by massive input changes in the supply side which are predominately being caused by energy policy.  Our U.S. inflation is a self-inflicted supply side wound.  Inflation was not caused by demand side pressure, other than from the injection of COVID cash into consumer spending – which hid the natural contraction that was going to take place in Q2, Q3 and Q4 2021.  WATCH:

Ms. Mester says the Fed will watch the month-to-month inflation change, to determine monetary policy success.  Given the nature of the Biden energy policy, that type of success definition is inherently political.  It’s akin to saying, as the victim’s bones and muscles get used to the constant blows during the beating, the severity of the pain will be less than the initial shock… therefore, the continued beating is less damaging to the victim.   Madness.
