New in PJ Media:
President Trump doesn’t call Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Russian Collusion) “Shifty Schiff” for nothing. Schiff was one of the most energetic purveyors of the false claim that Trump had colluded with Russia to manipulate the 2016 election and get himself into the White House. Schiff repeatedly made false claims about the strength of the evidence that Trump had engaged in unlawful collusion with the Russians, and even now, refuses to admit that the whole thing was a hoax. Yet a broken clock is right twice a day, and even Schiff has had enough of the skyrocketing crime and deteriorating conditions in California that his Democrat comrades are entirely responsible for bringing about.
Schiff appeared Friday on Bill Maher’s show, and maybe it was being in the company of a fellow leftist who repeatedly gives hints of being sane that brought it out in ol’ Shifty, but he was actually sounding at times like one of the MAGA Republicans whom he so despises. Schiff told Maher: “So we’re gonna to have to change how we do business in California. We’re gonna to have to address people’s legitimate concerns about crime.”
What on earth got into Schiff to lead him to say something like this? Did he have a tiff with Gavin Newsom? Is he thinking about running against Newsom for president in 2028? Did Trump perform the Vulcan mind meld on him and get Schiff to stop pretending that concerns about rising crime in blue cities is something that can simply be shouted down with cries of “racism” and “xenophobia”?
Whatever happened, Schiff then told a story about how he himself had been a victim of a crime, and that this incident contributed to his awakening on this issue, with a little help from a Target cashier. Schiff said: “And what was most memorable about the experience for me as I went to this Target in South San Francisco, 10 o’clock at night, and I’m getting the toiletries I’m gonna need for my next two days in the city. First of all, I had to get the clerk, which is hard to find, to unlock the shampoo or the whatever. So that’s one thing.”
Yeah, it is. And it’s one thing that Gavin Newsom and his Democrats made possible, by pushing through a law that classified thefts of under $950 worth of merchandise as a misdemeanor, rather than a felony. In practice, this has meant that overworked, overloaded prosecutors usually don’t bother to prosecute these crimes at all, as doing so would take time away from their prosecution of more serious crimes.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Senator Adam Schiff as discussing human beings.

Democrats want to hold on to power, so will say anything centrist now to ingratiate themselves to voters. If they become the majority again, the crazy anti American policies will re-emerge.

What! This is revolutionary!
Is Shifty Schiff going to “fight” to re-define the classification of a misdemeanor
to the thief of more than the value of $850 in merchandise rather than the current $950?
Like I say, Revolutionary!!

It’s not much–but most leftist politicians would not have touched this here until just recently.

Today, when I learned that Newsom is term-limited as governor, it came as a surprise. After all, this is a state that has turned against every conventional, common sense policy, such as closed primaries. One of the reasons a Republican can’t get elected is that it’s possible to have 2 Dems outperform a Republican in a primary, so that a general election, be it for governor or senator, is b/w 2 Dems. Reason Kamala ever became a senator was her beating Loretta Sanchez, an OC Dem
I do hope Steve Hilton manages to make some headway, but his biggest problem is that too many Republicans have fled the state, making it near impossible to reclaim it

Don’t believe anything that comes out of the mouth of this watermelon head.
Zero credibility.

Correct you are.

Adam Schiff, Of All People, Talks Some Sense

Almost evryone here in California is so sick of crime that it has–amazingly–become an acceptable topic of concern, at last for some. For instance, a 7/11 here had a car run into it and was robbed–then was robbed again *the following night*. No one is sure whether this is a differnt criminal crew or not. This kind of thing is common here at this point.
