Gonzales: Garland expanding army of social justice warriors
The Department of Justice might have received $38.7 billion in the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill signed by Biden in December — which is a 10% funding boost overall to the department — but Attorney Merrick Garland believes it’s not enough.
Sitting before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Garland claimed that his department doesn’t “have enough people. We don’t have enough money. We don’t have enough jails. We don’t have enough judges.”
So that’s why crime is rising in major cities in the United States, is it?
Gonzales bit back and said he’s “chomping at the bit to expand his army of social justice warriors ready to knock down your door and prosecute you for — I don’t know — praying outside of a pro-life clinic.”
She went on, “You have the jails, you’re just letting people out. You don’t want to keep them in jail. So that’s fascinating.”
His claim to have a “lack of resources” sounds more like he simply has a lot of excuses.
John Doyle joined Sara on "The News & Why it Matters" to pepper in his thoughts on the matter: “If the state is not protecting you from violence, it is de facto endorsing it, like what’s happening here.”
He then dropped a shocking stat and said that the murder rate in places like El Salvador is “on track to be lower than it is in a lot of our major cities.”
If only Garland knew this.
For now, if he genuinely cares about protecting the American people from violent criminals — and wants more money to do so — perhaps he should ask Biden to stop sending all of ours to Ukraine.

Why Bill O’Reilly is ‘GLAD’ the FBI is targeting parents
U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland recently ordered the FBI to help handle the alleged mass of threats facing school board members from anti-CRT parents. While his move represents the Biden administration's continuous weaponization of federal agencies, Bill O'Reilly told Glenn Beck on the radio program that he's "glad" it's happening. Why?
Watch the video clip below to hear O'Reilly explain how this could be a critical tipping point for more Americans to wake up:

Wait … did Merrick Garland actually just CRY on camera over the importance of democracy?!
Merrick Garland, better known as “Biden’s attorney general,” recently did an interview with “60 Minutes,” during which he put on the waterworks for the camera.
Pat Gray is unconvinced by the theatrics but nonetheless thinks it’s “fun” to watch.
“Garland knows he will be vilified no matter how the Trump and Biden cases are decided,” the “60 Minutes” narrator says, but “his job, he told us, was to take the arrows for the department.”
“He has learned to embrace the pain that comes with the job,” the narrator continues over footage of Garland’s visit to DEA headquarters where he observes hundreds of photos of “those lost to the opioid epidemic.”
“How dramatic,” sighs Pat.
Calling himself a “public servant,” Garland told the camera, “I don't represent the president; I represent the American people.”
He then promised to do his best to “pass on a Justice Department that continues to pursue the rule of law and protect it.”
“Are you serious?” interjects an annoyed Pat.
But Garland wasn’t done yet.
“It's the same thing that every generation has to hope – that we can pass our democracy on in working order to the next generation that picks up the torch,” he choked out as tears welled in his eyes.
“He is crying about democracy, which we are NOT,” criticizes Pat. “For the love of heaven and the billionth time, we are not a democracy.”
In fact, our founding fathers were not fans of democracy, he reminds us.
“Alexander Hamilton said, ‘Real liberty is not found in the extremes of democracy but in moderate governments. If we incline too much to democracy, we shall soon shoot into a monarchy or some other form of a dictatorship.'”
“Thomas Jefferson lamented that ‘a democracy is nothing more than mob rule where 51% of the people may take away the rights of the other 49%.”’
James Madison said that democracies “have ever been the spectacles of turbulence and contention, have ever been incompatible with personal security or the rights of property, and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”
And finally, John Adams said that “democracy never lasts long; it soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”
“Maybe we are a democracy, because that's exactly what we're doing with our republic … committing suicide,” laments Pat.
