https://m.rochestercitynewspaper.com/rochester/kolb-blamed-wife-for-drunken-crash-court-paper-show/Content?oid=11262497

State Assembly member Brian Kolb, who has publicly acknowledged crashing his state-owned car into a ditch on New Years Eve while intoxicated behind the wheel, allegedly blamed his wife for the accident, telling a tow-truck driver at the scene, You know how women drive.

Kolbs alleged finger-pointing was detailed in a witness statement taken by an Ontario County Sheriffs deputy and submitted as part of the court record for his case in Victor Town Court.

I observed the front driver side door was open and white male was leaning into the vehicle, the witness, tow-truck driver Michael Scoville, said. I saw the vehicle was running. The male stood up and put his hands up and said, My wife was driving! He then said, You know how women drive. I did not see anyone else around the vehicle.

The man was identified as Kolb, whom Scoville described in the statement as slurring his words. Scoville said he called 911 to report the accident, as per protocol, because it involved property damage. The car had hit a guide wire for a telephone pole.

Kolb was charged with misdemeanor drunken driving and making an unsafe turn. The court records show Kolb registered a .16-percent blood-alcohol content on a Breathalyzer test, twice the legal threshold.

The officer at the scene, Deputy Ian Hall, testified in court papers that Kolb admitted he was the driver and that he had four or five cocktails at the Erie Grill in Pittsford, about 15 miles from the scene of the accident.

But they turned up the aggression here in a really nice way. The starts to races and the first couple laps are intense. But the nature of F1 is such that you eventually will find yourself in a fair amount of space where you can just focus on putting in good clean laps. Great stuff.

Howard Deans presidential rivals offered two distinct lines of argument against the Democratic front-runner on Tuesday, challenging him for opposing the war with Iraq and for having too little foreign-policy experience.
Dean took particular heat for his statements that the capture of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein would not make America safer. Some rivals also hit him for being too willing to cede power to the United Nations.

But Dean did not back down, and he reiterated his statement that the capture of Hussein did not make the U.S. safer.

Leading the attacks on Dean was Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, the Democrat who has been the most consistent supporter of the war. Lieberman told an audience in New Hampshire: I dont see how anybody could say were not safer with Saddam Hussein in prison than loose. A show of hands by the crowd indicated that most agreed.

Lieberman argued that Deans antiwar stand has become part of a larger problem for the former Vermont governor and onetime physician -- naysaying on many issues, without offering constructive alternatives.

Dr. Dean, Lieberman said, has become Dr. No.

Speaking in Philadelphia, Rep. Richard A. Gephardt of Missouri took a different tack as the candidates continued to recalibrate their strategy in a contest unsettled by Husseins capture.

Gephardt said Deans contention that the seizure of Hussein had not made America safer showed he lacked foreign-policy expertise, highlighting the difficulty that he would face in any election contest against George Bush.

That argument, in contrast with Liebermans, allowed Gephardt to attack Deans credentials without broaching whether the Iraq war was justified -- and thus avoid angering antiwar party activists.

In Iowa, meanwhile, Sen. John F. Kerry of Massachusetts used both of the arguments against Dean, saying: When America needed leadership on Iraq, Howard Dean was all over the lot, with a lot of slogans and a lot less solutions.

Kerry said as president, he would chart a third path between what he said would be Deans over-reliance on the United Nations in setting U.S. foreign policy and what he described as President Bushs policy of schoolyard taunts and cowboy swagger.

The criticism comes as Dean leads in polls nationally and in the two states that will conduct the crucial first contests of the presidential primary season -- Iowa and New Hampshire.

Philip Klinkner, a professor of government at Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., said the capture of Hussein, combined with the recent endorsement of Dean by former Vice President Al Gore, have broadened a fault line in the Democratic race.

Klinkner said the danger for Democrats in painting Dean as a candidate of the left is that they are giving Republicans material to use against him, should he emerge as the partys nominee.

Indeed, the Republican National Committee sent out an e-mail Tuesday calling attention to Liebermans Monday attack on Dean, in which he said: Howard Dean has climbed into his own spider hole of denial if he believes that the capture of Saddam Hussein has not made America safer.

Campaigning across Arizona and into New Mexico, Dean pressed his attack on Bushs defense and foreign policies, assailing the invasion of Iraq as well as the administrations approach to North Korea.

Speaking to an audience of senior citizens at the Sun City retirement community outside Phoenix, Dean reiterated his assertion that the capture of Hussein, while a good thing, would not make America safer. He also suggested that Bush had too often allowed personal pique to get in the way of his policymaking.

By excluding U.S. allies from the reconstruction of Iraq for opposing the war, Bush continues to rub their nose in humiliation, Dean said. He added that the president had been petulant in declining to negotiate with North Korean leader Kim Jong Il.

Until Husseins capture, several of Deans opponents had concentrated on questioning his credibility on the war issue, charging that he had made contradictory statements about his position as the Bush administration readied its invasion plans last year.

Dean, in fact, supported a congressional resolution that would have allowed combat in Iraq, if Bush certified that he had exhausted all other options.

Now, rival Democrats are trying to sow broader doubts about Dean.

Speaking with reporters after his speech Tuesday, Lieberman said the differences between him and Dean had crystallized over foreign policy, experience, commitment, priorities, but also over domestic policy.

The central question, he said, is whether we are going to go forward from where [President] Clinton brought the country in the 90s ... or whether we are going to go backward, which is where Howard Dean would take us in so many ways.

Kerry pounced on Deans statement of a day earlier that he would seek U.N. permission for some overseas actions.

https://prospect.org/politics/warren-latest-plan-signals-time-talk-joe-biden-record/

One of the bigger dog that didnt bark moments of this Democratic primary has been the long-expected skirmish between Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden over the 2005 bankruptcy bill. Entire long features lots of them! have been penned in anticipation of the moment. Warren staked her campaign on being the plans candidate, so surely she would unveil a plan for overhauling bankruptcy laws, as a prelude to the fight over Bidens leadership role in reforming the process (read: making it more finance-friendly) 15 years ago.

Amazingly, it took until the calendar flipped to 2020 for this to occur. Warren, who built her whole law career through understanding bankruptcy, has never since entering the Senate unveiled a comprehensive policy, though shes introduced a couple important bills to reform parts of the system. But today, in the critical final month before caucuses open in Iowa, Warren has released a bankruptcy plan that, though it doesnt mention Biden by name, is designed to challenge his record of selling out working families in the name of financial interests.

The story of the bankruptcy bill is familiar legislation with no constituency other than the credit card executives that predominate Delaware, thanks to race-to-the-bottom deregulation that opened the state up to the corporate elite. The industry spent nearly a decade working the political system to secure new rules making it harder for poor borrowers to escape their debts, and Biden was the point person for the effort. Warren became an outside agitator to stop the bill from becoming law, and nearly succeeded challenging Biden in hearings and publicly calling him out for his energetic work on behalf of the credit card companies.

Warrens plan, released at her Medium page, seeks to reverse the worst aspects of the bankruptcy bill, making it once again an equitable system where everyone can obtain a second chance. But the fact that it highlights Bidens meritorious service on behalf of creditors is never far from the page.

First off, the plan doesnt start by listing ideas for fixing bankruptcy, instead recounting the entire story of the bankruptcy bill fight the $100 million in corporate lobbying to get the bill passed, the false starts and successful outflanking of the industry until the 2005 passage, the immediate 50 percent drop in bankruptcy filings in the aftermath, the 800,000 mortgage defaults and 250,000 foreclosures that resulted. Before identifying solutions, the Warren plan targets the problem and Biden directly.

Why was the Biden bankruptcy bill such a failure? First of all, it made accessing bankruptcy incredibly difficult for people without money, a perverse scenario. A means test puts those earning above their states median into the more expensive Chapter 13 process, where wages are garnished and debtors pay more on net. The cheaper Chapter 7 process requires an up-front cash outlay, which the bankrupt can ill afford, against funneling them into the costlier Chapter 13. Filers must submit months of old pay stubs and other paperwork, while their attorneys must certify all debtor disclosures, adding significant costs and effort. Even before filing, all individuals must take credit counseling, which is of dubious value.

The lengthier time frame just to get to bankruptcy, known colloquially as the sweatbox, not only locks many debtors out of the process, it makes those who do opt for bankruptcy pay more, which coincidentally benefits the industry and its hangers-on.

Warrens plan would allow debtors to choose the system that best fits their financial situation, lower the paperwork burden, strike the up-front Chapter 7 cash payment provision, and eliminate the credit counseling requirement. In fact, it would waive filing fees for anyone under the poverty level.

The plan also unearths amendments that Biden and his colleagues voted down during the debate over the 2005 bankruptcy bill, at the behest of the industry. One rejected amendment allows renters to continue paying rent in bankruptcy and avoid eviction and homelessness. Another allows parents to spend an allotment on their children during bankruptcy and allows union members to pay their dues.

The bankruptcy bill, and other laws passed before it, places particular hardships on certain debtors. Reinforcing that student loans keep college graduates in servitude like medieval indentures, student debts cannot be discharged in bankruptcy unless an undue hardship can be shown, which is nearly impossible in practice. Mirroring a bipartisan bill Warren introduced last May, her plan makes student loans dischargeable. Warren also has a student debt forgiveness plan, but this mops up leftover debt for those who cannot pay.

More important, the plan lets borrowers modify primary residence mortgages in bankruptcy, a concept known as cram-down that the Obama-Biden administration (to borrow Bidens common terminology) openly fought against after promising to enact it. This would have significantly mitigated the foreclosure crisis, giving borrowers a fair shot at a clean slate and equitably sharing the losses from the collapse.

Other provisions include a federal homestead exemption that protects some home equity in bankruptcy; a pre-packaged mortgage bankruptcy option to cut through the tangle of claims in securitized loans; the repeal of a 2005 rider forcing debtors to pay the full amount of their initial car loan to retain their automobiles, regardless of the current blue book value; and proposals to ensure racial and gender equity in bankruptcy.

Finally, though the bankruptcy bill is known for its crackdowns on poor and middle-class bankruptcy filers, it also widened or kept open loopholes that enabled the rich to abuse the system. This is maybe the most galling thing about that bill; Biden and his allies framed it as a way to reduce overuse of bankruptcy, while keeping in the parts for the least deserving to do exactly that.

A so-called Millionaires Loophole lets the wealthy hide assets in trusts to avoid the bankruptcy process. Deadbeat dads use trusts to sidestep alimony, and scions of the rich use so-called dynasty trusts to avoid creditors. All of that would end if the Warren plan passed.

Good plan, imo

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/y3mg9x/ice-detention-center-captain-was-on-a-neo-nazi-website-and-wanted-to-start-a-white-nationalist-group

A senior employee at a for-profit immigrant detention center in Nevada was active on the neo-Nazi site Iron March and aspired to establish a white nationalist chapter in his area.

Travis Frey, 31, is currently employed as a captain at the Nevada Southern Detention Center, which is run by private prison behemoth CoreCivic and contracted with ICE.

Frey joined Iron March in 2013, and posted at least a dozen times between 2016 and 2017 while he was working as head of security at a CoreCivic jail in Indianapolis, which was also authorized to house detainees on behalf of ICE.

The archives of the now-defunct website were leaked online in November, offering a glimpse into the early organizational efforts driving the modern, international white nationalist movement. The foundations of violent neo-Nazi groups such as Atomwaffen were established in Iron March chats, and white nationalist leaders like Matthew Heimbach have said they were radicalized by the time they spent on the site.

On Iron March, Frey used the screen name In Hoc Signo Vinces, a Latin phrase thats used by military outfits around the world, and by universities, and was the title of the American Nazi Partys manifesto. VICE News was able to identify Frey, who served in the Marines between 2006 and 2008, through some of the personal information he provided on Iron March, including his personal email address, phone number, birthday, and place of residence at the time he was writing on Iron March (which was Carmel, Indiana).

In one post from November 2016, Frey wrote that any man who gets that upset about virulent racism couldnt knock out a tooth even if I tied my hands behind my back.

Deep down no one really gives a shit about racism, Frey wrote. This is just empty signaling from this [slur]. (Its unclear what or who hes referring to.)

In another post that month, he wrote that hes long believed that the heads of world governments and the entertainment industry are under Satanic influences.

Dark, dark shit goes on in the corridors of power and these rats need to be purged from their nests, Frey wrote.

Freys participation on Iron March and self-identification as a fascist in his profile raises questions about his tenure while holding a position of authority over the lives of vulnerable populations, including migrants, who are often people of color.

Allegations of racism have long plagued correctional institutions across the country, from guards appearing in mock Klan attire in at least six states in the late 1990s, to employees associating with extremist groups online. Just last week, West Virginias governor announced that hed fired over 30 corrections officer trainees for performing a Nazi salute in a group photograph.

The Nevada Southern Detention Center, where Frey has worked since at least 2018, according to a now-deleted LinkedIn page, is located in Pahrump, 62 miles west of Las Vegas, and is contracted with ICE and U.S. Marshals. The facility has an average daily population of 189, and according to a Marshall Project investigation from last year, violent federal inmates are housed among ICE immigrant detainees. CoreCivic is one of the biggest private corrections companies in the country.

In June 2017, Frey started putting out feelers about joining the ranks of the Traditionalist Workers Party (TWP), which was run by Heimbach before its demise and was a key player in the violent Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017. I am interested in helping build the Indiana TWP, Frey wrote. Let me know what is needed.

A user with the screen name Cr4ck3r replied, asking Frey where he lives and how old he is. Im trying to find all the NS [National Socialist] guys in Indiana to get together for a meet and greet, he replied. When Frey replied saying he was 29, Cr4ck3r asked whether hes already a member of TWP, and whether he wanted to meet up for a beer.

I am not a member Frey replied. I did reach [out] to them to inquire about membership, but I havent heard anything back yet. I messaged the TWP FB page and havent heard anything back. I also emailed them.

Its not clear from that interaction how involved Frey got into the white nationalist movement or whether he still harbors those views. We were able to briefly reach him by phone at the Nevada Southern Detention Center, but he hung up the call. He also disabled the LinkedIn pages used to identify him after VICE News emailed him asking for comment last week.

VICE News also reached out to CoreCivic and ICE seeking comment, but we didn't hear back by the time of publication.

A Parker mother has been arrested and is accused of plotting to kidnap her child who had been removed from her custody in a "raid" with help from a far-right conspiracy theory group, according to an arrest warrant from the Parker Police Department (PPD).

Cynthia Abcug, 50, was arrested in Montana on Dec. 30 on a charge of conspiracy to commit second-degree kidnapping, a spokesperson for the PPD said.

The warrant for Abcug was issued in September after a caseworker alerted authorities that Abcug's daughter, who was living with her in Parker, reported that her mom had "lots of weapons in her home" and an "armed man was living there," the warrant says.

The daughter also reported that the man had a "plan to kidnap Abcug's other child," who had been removed from her custody, according to the warrant.

Abcug's daughter said her mother "had gotten into some conspiracy theories" and was "spiraling down," the warrant says.

She also said that Abcug was "planning a raid" where they "intended to kidnap" her other child, according to the warrant.

Abcug's daughter believed the raid would be carried out by members of the QAnon group. According to the warrant, QAnon is a far-right conspiracy theory detailing a supposed secret plot by an alleged deep state against President Donald Trump and his supporters.

She expressed concern that "people would be injured in the raid" because "those people are evil Satan worshipers," the warrant says.

The girl told her caseworker she "could not understand why her mother did not see how this was a bad thing," the warrant says. She also said her mother had stopped going to therapy about two months ago, the warrant says.

Abcug's daughter was subsequently removed from her custody and Abcug then failed to show up at an emergency custody hearing, canceled an interview set up with investigators and did not return their calls.

Following her arrest late last month, Abcug posted bond and is no longer in custody, according to PPD.

According to the warrant, Abcug was known to the PPD from a prior case where she was investigated for "factitious disorder imposed on another and medical child abuse." The victim, in that case, is redacted and the outcome of the investigation is not known.

Then why didn't Obama get more Republicans to vote for him with the nearly 3,000 airstrikes he authorized during his presidency?

In part because conservative media outlets constantly told their readers and viewers that Obama was soft on foreign policy, rather than acknowledge the ways in which he continued and expanded the war on terror.

You see a similar pattern on immigration: Fox and their ilk accused Obama of being pro-open borders, when in truth he deported more people than anybody. On both issues, Trump campaigned on making American policy harsher; when criticized for doing that, he and his supporters have hid behind the idea that he's merely continuing Obama's policies.
